Smoking

I am a smoker. I am aware of the health risks to myself and to others due to second hand smoke. I also live in public housing (read enforced communal living). I also like to think that I'm considerate to non-smokers' feelings most of the time. That being said, my nearest neighbor's doors and windows are at the very least, ten metres away from my front door. Every now and then I like to stand outside my house in the common corridor and have a smoke enjoying the view. Hey, I paid a crazy amount of money to enjoy the conveniences, amenities and VIEW afforded by my flat's location. That being said, flashback to yesterday.

I was on the phone with M.T standing outside my flat having a smoke and enjoying the view, when I heard someone going "Excuse me," I turn around and see my neighbor's wife whom both by the way are NRIs (read Ooru pundehs). Still on the line I replied her, thinking she needed some assistance. To which she answered, " Sorry,can you not smoke in the corridor? The smoke is coming into my house." My other neighbor, this nice old lady was standing outside, watching this mini drama. And to compound it the NRI's two small daughters were outside as well. Distracted, wanting to avoid a scene, caught by surprise plus I was done with my ciggie, I nodded my head and came back into my home. Then it hit me, why in god's name did I just agree to something as inane as that request? M.T told me to drop it as she said it wasn't worth the hassle. I was stewing about this all nite and this morning when I opened the door this morning, there she was cleaning the area in front of her house. I went back in considering whether I should approach and discuss this with her and her husband. By the time I decided she had already gone back in. So I decided to do a little experiment. I went out and had a smoke. Took my time about it too. And guess what? No one came out. I suppose her sense of smell must be through her eyes. I mean, it's not like I do it all the time, maybe a couple of times a week? If you told me your children are sensitive to smoke I would respect that and not smoke outside if your children were outside. Maybe the next time she cooks fish I should go over and tell her I don't like the smell and ask her to desist cooking fish?

WTF??? You're just renting the house and you have so much to say? I bought mine bitch! You arses (read NRIs) can live with the smell of excrement outside your windows in your own countries but come to mine and you pee rose water ah? Screw you all! Go back to your own backwater nation and try acting like this. Your neighbor would put his unwashed foot up you arse. Try this with a manjan (read Chinese) and see lah, after that everyday he'll clear his ashtray in your plants. Try with the grago (read Eurasian) neighbor lah. Go tell him his dog noisy lah. He will let the dog run riot in your house.Same race, you want to take advantage ah? You think you superior to me izzit? This orlang (read black person) underneath pure beng/kuppeh (read chinese uneducated lout/indian good for nothing). The outside, ejucated, ejucated (read educated) for show only. Won't take me very long to act like a cheeby (read cunt). I try to be a good neighbor you want to pray, pray (read play, play) ah? I activate Little Turtle the original annjadi (literal translation five foot path, read indian ruffian) on your arse then you know...

Till next time,

Brat : Thanks for waiting we can go now.

Poor Me : Are you gonna tell me what just happened?

Brat : I guess she wont mind, the pigeon wished me Merry Christmas so I wished her happy holidays with her family and she said she has no family to go to for the holidays. So I told her we live close by and she is always welcome.

Poor Me : The pigeon told you all this?

Brat : Yes.

Poor me : How is that you understood all that?

Brat : Well I speak Pigeon.

Poor Me : since when?

Brat : for a while now, I also speak horse, English, German and Japanese, hmm right now I am working on German pigeon and Italian Pigeon.

Brat : Than I am also sorry I have to send lunch back tomorrow.

Me : Oh I am also so sorry, I found out you have not been cleaning your room, so you need to sleep in the garage for 1 wk as punishment.

Brat : Sandwich...YUMMY ! you are the best!

Everybody's Free (To have an opinion)

I don't know if many of you remember the song, Every body's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) which came out in 1999 by Baz Luhrmann. I was listening it to the other day and thinking how the advice given though poignant was the irrelevant ramblings of one man... So here's my take on it.

Every body's free (To have an opinion)

• Every body's got an opinion.
  
• All of us are idiots, just to what extent.
• Whoever said it's not how often you fall but whether you pick yourself up after, should be punched in the mouth.
• Friends never grow up.
• Really close friends regress.
• Friends help you stand up when you fall, but oft times they were the ones who tripped you in the first place.
  
• Misery loves company, so does any other fun thing in life.
  
• But if you do fall, don't forget to gracefully pick yourself up and look good while doing it.
• If at first you don't succeed maybe this job really isn't meant for you.
• Money isn't everything, but it does make everything else easier.
• Love your loved ones, even when they're being complete asses.
• Never rub salt in open wounds, but if you do, make sure you're really far away when the wounds heal.
• Love hurts.
• Love heals.
• Love is crazy.
• Make love not war.
• Hell, do both and get married!
• Don't go to bed angry, you may end up smothering your partner in your sleep.
• Be the bigger person, make sure they get your point and agree.
• Bears walk among us, and sometimes they make sense.
  
• Commit random acts of kindness, it keeps everyone guessing.
• Stories about things you did will never become boring, even if you've told them a million times and to the same people.
• The story changes with every telling.
  
• The stupid things you've done in your life will come back to bite you.
• And they will never stop being funny to everyone else even after you're gone.
• Refer to three points up.
  
• Accept that we hurt the people we love, sometimes with intent.
• Never second guess, make a choice and stick to your guns.
• 50% of your choices will be wrong, but that's not an excuse.
• Go out with a bang and never a whimper.
• Sometimes you have to walk away even when it hurts.
• Sometimes you have to make a stand even if it's going to hurt.
• Sometimes you just have to stand in the sidelines and not do a thing.
• The trick is to know when to. If you do, let me know how.
  
• Intelligence does not equate smartness.
• Intelligent people are so intelligent sometimes, they say the stupidest things.
• Toilet humour... Not as funny as you make it out to be.
• Sarcasm is a tool to educate or humiliate your peers, choose the latter. The educating happens by itself.
  
• Try weed at least once in your life.
• Stick with booze for the rest of it.
  
• You are the sum of your choices and experiences, but then again, so is everyone else.
• You are not special.
• You are one of a kind. Never let anyone take that away from you.
  
• Nobody can be you, so don't be afraid to go crazy every now and then.
• But trust me when I say, every one's got an opinion.

Our thoughts for the day,

For long you live and high you fly, and smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry and all that you touch and all that you see, is all your life will ever be.

Brat being Brat

The ancient Indian Myth

M.T : Switch off the TV and do your homework.

Brat : I can't I'm watching Ben 10.

M.T : You have been saying that for the last 2 hrs and you have watched every episode like a million time!

Brat : Ya, but I can watch it again and again and again. Its never boring.

M.T : I don't care if its boring or not! (Thinking to myself maybe should take a different approach , try going all western parenting) I'm sure Ben does is homework too, I'm sure he is a very responsible boy. You should be like him.

Brat : No he doesn't. He is on a looooooooong summer vacation remember. He never has to do homework.

M.T : ( the western parenting ain't working time to go all Asian on the brat's ass) You Know how the Indian gods have multiple arms. So they can punish those who do naughty things!

Brat : Is this still about Ben 10?

M.T : of cause my love. where you think they got the idea to create the character '4 Arms'. So I have heard when Indian mothers get really...REALLY pissed they grow another set of arms so they can beat the crap out of their kids!

Brat : (Shivering) They can?

M.T : You know whats the best part is , I don't need a bloody watch! well if you wanna give the myth a try, go on and watch TV. Than we will find out soon enough when I go all '4 Arms' on your SHORT ASS!

Brat : So shall I do the English first or the Math?

Spring and Cows

M.T : I hate spring ! bloody moody weather raining the whole time and sunny suddenly, like it can't make up its mind.

Brat : Don't say that spring is good, rain is good flowers will grow and the grass its good , I LIKE SPRING!

M.T : I guess you are right, I shouldn't be selfish, it's good for the farmers. Rain will make the grass grow better for the cows , so the cows get fat and juicy, so we can eat Them ! yummy

Brat : what you mean eat them, You mean drink the milk right?

M.T : Ya the milk as well, but I also meant the meat.

Brat : People eat cows?! what the... are you serious ? That is so mean , Cows are so cute. how can you people eat them?

M.T : What you mean if people eat cows. Its beef you idiot. You eat it all the time. Hamburger is beef. They even say 100% beef on the package.

Brat : Oh My GOD! that's disgusting. I thought beef was pig or something. I AM NEVER EATING HAMBURGER every again!!!

M.T : suit yourself. I respect your decision. so no more beef for you.

20 mins later

M.T : so what you want for snack?

Brat : I'll have a hamburger from mac Donald's please.

M.T : what happened to cows are so cute, and its disgusting to eat cute cows?

Brat : Ya...actually they are not soooo cute like bunnies , or horses ....or birds...or ....

M.T : ok ok I get the point. 1 kids meal coming up.

My life is GREAT!

Nightwatch: Halllooo

Brat : Hello, what you doing?

Nightwatch : My life? Life sucks!

Nightwatch : You tell him I'm gonna come there and kick his behind !!!

I pass the message to the Brat and this is what he says.

Brat : When he comes, I will be 8 and my life will still be great ! hahahaha....oh man its so funny!

Things have changed

I thought I am lonely here, but not as lonely as I felt visiting back 'Home'. Its been 2 weeks since I got back from my vacation. A lot has changed. I realised that home was always been where my friends are. The friends I left behind are not the same people I used to know. Not all but some of them. Some have gotten themselves into stupid problems, Some have gotten themselves so deep into work have forgotten how to have any fun. Some have gotten into relationships that is so wrong in every level. I realised it was time to go back home. I feel more home here now than ever before. But still there are those who never changed and did make my trip bearable and managed to put a smile on my face.

The friends that have changed had many reasons to why they had no time for me, 'Stupid problems' were broke. 'Working too much' had no time obviously. While the ones on 'cloud 9', honestly I have no idea what could possibly be their excuse. Than again There have been times when I used to be so blinded by someone, I lost every sense of reality except for the time. I was very aware of every second, So I can rush off to my "beloved" in time for dinner. oh boy how I miss those TEEN years.

I made a conscious decision to fly back a day early. It was very clear I was not needed or wanted for the matter. In the flight I felt a tear drop, as much as I was happy to be going home. I felt sadden that I don't know when my next trip will be and if I would want to go back any more. I was frustrated, for not being able to help friends in trouble and for not being able to spend quality time with those I cared about. When I finally got home, The person I least expected messaged me to ask if I got back home fine and asked how was my flight. After all it's not as if we have been friends for long. (we did spend my romantic nights together though ;)

Couple of days later I get a call from a mutual friend informing me about a senior whom I went to school with has been in coma for a week after a brain surgery, and I just wanted to kick myself for not knowing this sooner. I felt worse than I did before. I wanted to be there for his wife, at least to hold her hand and sit by her. He died last Saturday. Leaving behind a son and his wife my classmate and friend.

M.T

“We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.”

Orson Welles

Let me go...

One more kiss could be the best thing,
But one more lie could be the worst.
And all these thoughts are never resting,
And you're not something I deserve.

In my head there's only you now.
This world falls on me.
In this world there's real and make believe,
And this seems real to me.

[Chorus]
You love me but you don't know who I am.
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand.
And you love me but you don't know who I am,
So let me go...
Let me go....

I dream ahead to what I hope for,
And I turn my back on loving you.
How can this love be a good thing,
When I know what I'm goin through?

In my head there's only you now,
This world falls on me.
In this world there's real and make believe,
And this seems real to me.

[Chorus]
You love me but you don't know who I am.
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand.
You love me but you don't know who I am,
So let me go,
Just Let me go...
Let me go...

And no matter how hard I try,
I can't escape these things inside I know.
I know...
When all the pieces fall apart,
You will be the only one who knows...
Who knows...

[Chorus]
You love me but you don't know who I am.
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand.
And you love me but you don't know Who I am.
So let me go...
Just let me go...

And you love me but you don't...
You love me but you don't...
You love me but you don't know who I am...
And you love me but you don't...
You love me but you don't...
You love me but you don't know me...

Terminator make way for the Discriminator

What is Discrimination? Where do we draw the line ? How much of a joke is ok? How far can we stretch the "innocent" comments? Is calling someone Keling the same as saying I hate fat people? Let me explain...Lets say calling someone Keling, clearly you are implying you prefer non Indians. Now lets say there are 2 guys, one a super hot guy and the other a fat guy. If I would check out the hot guy and not the fat guy am I discriminating the fat guy cause I prefer the hot guy? By liking one and not another is it discrimination? Or perhaps Discrimination lives up to its big word when spoken out loud. There are so many categories of discrimination for example Age, Gender, Sexuality, Race, Language, Employment, Caste and even something as simple as Reverse Discrimination. Basically a term used on minorities who have issues with dominant and majority groups. Which I believe most of you reading this blog associate yourself with. Don't deny it, you know who you are :) Just cause some parents raised us to keep shut doesn't mean we don't think it. Than again that very same parents might also educate us to be honest with others and to ourselves. So who is the bad guy here? The one who is honest to make it clear I don't like you and who puts up his hand and says "hail Hitler" at the passing German minding his own business or the the guy who thinks "bloody Manjan" in his head when a Chinese guy cuts him off on a highway. As long no one heard that right? So I can't possibly hurt his feelings cause my parents raised me better than that? I am not a discriminator if the one I'm discriminating doesn't hear me.

I remember the first time I faced discrimination, actually I remember all the discrimination. The first time it hurt the most. Every time you experience a discrimination a part of your soul gets chipped off. You don't understand why you? Than you wonder what you did wrong. Nothing. Just wrong place, wrong time and facing wrong honest people. It was around my 3rd Discrimination when it stopped hurting. I realised that I didn't really like the people who didn't like me in the first place. So why should it hurt. I realised at 15 I was a discriminator. Just like them. Just like everyone else. I am no different from the girl standing beside me who hates poor people cause they are poor and I hate her, well cause I hate rich people. Than I got to thinking are there actually real genuine victims in all of these discrimination war that we are all fighting? Well I don't think so. Every single one of us is a culprit. We all hate or nicely put, rather dislike someone somewhere for a reason, whatever the reason maybe. While we are pointing our finger at one he is pointing at another, and wait... before you feel sorry for that poor soul, I suggest you turn around, he might be just pointing at you. Its a vicious cycle. So if you are reading this and you are so sure that I am wrongly accusing us all. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, if you embrace everyone, you love all and judge no one. If your answer is Yes than Congratulations you are the next Jesus Christ! If your answer is No, welcome, you are human with issues. Join the rest of us sinners.

Ps: If you hate the one who discriminates, than my friend you are a discriminator.

I survived!!! Part 2

By this time Little Turtle had joined me at the observation ward and I was dozing off happily when suddenly a nurse pops up and drops another bomb, "Sorry sir, all our wards are full. However, we can give you a corridor bed at the same cost as that of a regular ward admission. Is that alright with you? " Hell no! So we asked if I could be transferred to SGH. To which I was informed that SGH was not affiliated to TTSH and I would need to go through the whole admission process again, including having the I.V needle reapplied. That pretty much decided it for me. We checked and found out that the affiliated hospital was Alexandra and agreed to be transferred over. As we were waiting for the ambulance to come pick me up, we were accosted by another patient. A harmless, drunk old man who just wanted to talk. He manages to wake me up, annoy the staff and pretty much everyone who was trying to sleep. Finally he gets himself discharged and leaves. By this time it's nearly 3am and I craving for a smoke. Add to the fact I had a I.V drip attached to me, it made sneaking out impossible. Finally a bit past 3 the private ambulance arrived and I was rolled out like an invalid on a wheelchair. Badly needing a smoke, I asked the ambulance driver if he could pull over somewhere so I could have one. Surprise, surprise, he opens up the windows and allows me smoke in ambulance itself! Thank you God!!! Finally I reach Alexandra and go up to the ward. They ask me to change into hospital garments only 3 sizes too big and tell me the specialists will be coming to see me shortly. In the meantime they send a China nurse who can barely speak English to fill out the admission forms... Go figure. Finally the specialists arrive and they immediately start poking and prodding my family jewels in their eagerness to examine the lump. A few minutes later they are joined by another colleague who is so excited that he even forgoes the gloves. What is it with doctors and prodding people in their vulnerables I'll never know. After much poking and prodding they pronounce me fit to have the lump removed by surgery at 8 in the morning. By now it's almost 4.30 in the morning, and I thought to myself, "Finally, some shut eye." But no!!! Did I mention I was in a ward full of geriatrics??? I ended up waking up every half hour, either to people screaming " Missy! Missy!", the bed alert going off or nurses waking me up to take my bp or some blood or the million other things nurses do to ensure that you don't sleep. Finally, 8am rolled in... Till next time,

Our thought for the day,

A hospital is no place to be sick.

-Nightwatch

I survived!!! Part 1

Weekends wise, the last one was one of the worse I've had. It all started a week back. As M.T knows and likes to laugh, I'm known for getting lumps in unmentionable places. As fate would have it, one developed last week and by Friday I was in agony. To compound it, I was running around doing errands for a week for my childhood friend, Mr Bear who had been admitted for 2nd degree facial burns because he has a fetish for flaming shooters and a face full of hair. Anyways, by 10pm on Friday I could barely sit down or stand for that matter. I was already at SGH at this point of time. And me being Mr Macho, I refused to go to the A & E to have it looked at. This, after being half crazed by the pain at work, I had taken a box cutter to the lump hoping to excise it myself and failing. After leaving the hospital, me and Little Turtle had taken the bus to go home when the pain became unbearable. Deciding that I should get professional help before I went postal and killed the bus driver for the torturous ride. I dropped and headed for the venerable institution, Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Reaching there I went through the admission process and had to answer rather silly questions like, " Did I fall and hurt myself" even though I had mentioned several times, "I HAVE A LUMP I WOULD LIKE REMOVED!!!" Finally I see the doctor who drops the bomb, " Sorry sir you will have to be admitted as the lump is an awkward position and we will need to see a specialist who will decide whether to operate. However it will be a day surgery and you should be able to go home by Saturday afternoon." Hearing this I thought to myself, being admitted for half a day can't be so bad... and agreed. After sticking me with the customary needles and shooting me up with painkillers, they wheeled me to the observation to await a place in the ward. Till next time,

Our thought for the day,

Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice?"

Still No call from home

Uh the 2 weeks vacation was over in a jiff. Good times and stress bundled up in 2 weeks but its always is to see love ones. Christmas was cosy New year was quiet than it was time to be back to face winter. The dog was traumatised by her first experience in a pet hotel. In her head she thinks she was sent to rehab. She has changed to a new leaf. Acting more a lady compared to the pampered little bitch she was before we left. Than came the BIRTHDAY. A very interesting one I must add. A cool tart cake, adorable birthday song sang by the brat and presents ... Still no calls from home. Getting back to presents, my house keeper gave me a 3 in 1 Pilot pen with my name engraved on it ... cool. It is a little fantasy of mine since childhood to have a pilot pen with my name on it. Pathetic? I know! I am really low maintenance even as a child. Than she decided to give me a pen holder that looks a like a snow globe just no snow. ironically there are 3 polar bears floating on their ass around an island with palm trees. I wonder what is she trying to imply. Happy Birthday MT oh by the way global warming is creeping up on us all as you blow out your candles, which means you are not gonna live very long. Anyways despite a her sadistic move, I still thanked her like a good person my parents raised me ... still no calls from home.

Nice dinner at Westin and what better way to end the evening. Drinks. While sipping on my drink, I was reminded about the snow globe, which let me global warming, which let me to other world news ... than I came to the news I read in the morning. So stupid me started a conversation with the guy in font of me. Hey did you know ... Jordan wants 'their' dead sea scrolls back from the Jews. So the Jordan's have asked the Canada Government to seize the scrolls since the Jews loaned it to them for an exhibition. OK. 1st of all asking Canada to poke their nose into anything is as good as telling Switzerland there are actually poor people in the rest of the world. (BTW Tag Heuer has held my Tag for ransom, will get to that another time) So I don't see that happening. Than again holding onto what is not yours, to use finders keepers as an argument, you are not in 3rd Grade. This is like India finding an ancient chopsticks and claiming its theirs even thou they have no idea how to use it. Than I guess I must of hit a nerve. I forgot in an instant the guy I was talking to had a sensitive past to Jordan, I mean Lebanon or was it even Jordon? Oh man who would know. Well as expected from someone who has yet to learn so much more about principle I clearly understand he only took notice of the effected parties and not the principle as the core source of my point. I decide to let the moron off the hook, especially since he just downed a 12 year old whiskey. I paid and left ... Still no call from home. I got into bed and prayed. Selfishly I asked for patience, acceptance, unity and balance in the world. cliche I know but hell ya world peace will be nice not now but maybe for my grand kids. That will be Grand.

So still no call from home, My mom have no idea how to use a calling card, so she conveniently decided to wait till I call her to wish me for my birthday. When my friend The 'HUNK' called her to ask if she called me she said yes but no one answered. She didn't want him to think bad of her since she has a crush on him and is more eager to wish him for his birthday which is in a couple of days. I don't blame her, Everyone has a crush on him, even the guy I'd mentioned earlier. The sensitive one. Rumor has it that the sensitive one whom I prefer to call the one with the facts is the best in Singapore, Jordan/Lebanon, China and some say Kerala.

Confession of an Ex Trend kid part 2

A few days later ...

So there I was, on my couch feeling like a winner, after a 5 min fight to the death with a 6 year old for the remote control. Nothing to watch in particular just the usual channel surfing. So what if he was in the middle of show called 'Ben 10'.

Than there it was a familiar music and I was like ... No way. OMG I cant believe they are showing Beverly Hills 90210, the very 1st season at that. I turned to the Brat and said ...

Me: hey you know I used to watch this when I was a kid. It was the coolest show than.

Brat: Yucks, how old is this?

Me: not so old. Let me see ... maybe, Twen ... tter ... tee ... hrrmm years ago perhaps.

Brat: WHAT !!??!! 20 years ago?! Yucky ... they all look so ugly, and old.

Me: (taking a closer look and realised the Brat is right, I am kinda even embarrassed to admit I used to like the show.) Ya maybe but it was cool than and my brother used to buy me the T-shirts and books, everything Beverly Hills. I never missed a show. Mom and Dad hated the show and nagged me for watching it. I was so into it you know. See the guy here ... Brandon, Jason Priestley. oh my, I used to have a major crush on him. All girls did, and the boys tried to have his hair too. I was soooo in love.

Brat: that short guy? He is short like me and his hair looks funny. You love this funny guy? haaahahaaaa. That's so funny. Haaaahaahaa

Me: Look here you midget, I was young ok, when you are young you like things that are in. Beverly Hills was 'IN' at that time and it was COOL!

Brat: You mean like how Ben 10 is cool now and I like to wear all Ben 10 things?

Me: Yes Exactly, you got my point.

Brat: like how Kim possible is cool now, because she soooo sexy and the Jonas Brothers are cool too?

Me: Hmm I see where you are going with this. Well ... Short One ... Lesson learnt. Here is the remote ... knock yourself out. By the way, 1 day when you are my age you are so going to be embarrassed you used to like these stuff. Till than I need to go now and try to erase the memories of me proudly wearing my Beverly Hills T-shirts as a kid.

Someone...Anyone Get Me Out Of Here!

Anger...

Anger, who has not been, at one point or another? Totally outraged and enraged? But how do you react in that state? Some brood, which is what I do by the way. Some become abusive and there are few who completely lose it and feel that their fists should do the talking. Unfortunately, these select few also feel that only their point of view is correct and there are no grey areas. Grey areas, which by the way, they use to their own ends when the shoe is on their foot. They don't seem to realize that sometimes not everything is cut and dried and that a fine line needs to walked to keep the peace. They also don't seem to realize that someday they are going to pick on the wrong person whom is going to knock the stuffing out of them or worse, sic the cops on them. Use the grey matter god gave you child. Don't let your pride, feelings of superiority or your so called "righteousness" stop you from thinking things through. Ultimately, there may come a time you nay need to turn to this person for help and they may not be there when you really need them. Till next time,

Our thought for the day,

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will avoid a hundred days of sorrow.

Whats with you guys and the computer...seriously

Oh man that is hilarious. Hmm actually where have I seen that before? oh ya I have seen a grown man do it almost every weekend. Well at least a little milder, how shall I put it...as delicately as possible...more maturely? I guess, we all agree that how important it is to stick to the facts. Don't wanna mess with 'Facts' do we now. Coming back to the video the guy who uploaded it not only translated it for our amusement he also mentions at the beginning of the video that, quote " this little retard is the worst example of the German people...seriously" I wonder what he meant by that...hmm I guess it will stay a mystery.

SO, what I have to put up with, which is plenty by the way, you being a pathological idiot and all...hey wait is that even a condition? Anyways I guess we are even. You know what I mean...for instance Smelly feet, temperamental mood swings, not understandable accusations ? Can't this be an expression of love in an ulterior degree ? Yes it can, you idiot!
