Planning the Holiday...

Here we are, saturday. Woke up this morning with proper filter coffee and foam with a little bit of cinnamon to finish. Yes the sweet things, the little things brings that warm feeling to your heart. The music playing softly in the background adding a bit of flare to the morning and then it hit me, only one week till holiday.

Any moment so long waited for comes in and brings with it the planning and preperation and a sort of underlying excitement. Honestly im not at the jump out of your skin moment yet but im getting there and growing impatient for the time to pass. That, I have had enough moment. Well this time I decided to distract myself with a list, one that i thought up to keep busy. So here it is:

1) Start looking at what you are not going to wear: This helps, this tells me how little I will really need when away. I would advise never to keep the speedo you wore ten years ago, trust me it wont fit and most likely you will end up asking, what happened to me? Burn it or flush it down the toilet. All dependant on size.

2) Start packing: See what needs to be taken with. On a camping trip I suggest starting in the kitchen, no faster way of getting you to clean cupboards and with each trip like lets say to the garage the same procedure applies.

3) Test out the old umbrella: Nothing like a long walk with a beach umbrella around the block to remind you of what lies ahead and to test its durabilty. Sitting on a camping chair does not count.

4) Practice tan angles: U need to look good always so use a mirror if you unsure of what u look like. Also check your costume for any unwanted skin sticking out. Dont flash if you are not using a camera.

5) Swim a few laps: No bummer worse like not being able to on holiday. Inspite of popular belief floaties are not in fashion.

Oh well let me go and stop writing nonsense in preperation for my holiday, did I mention its another thing you can do..just dont talk to yourself please, some might find it creepy.

Awesome weekend!!

Cat vs. Fish

 Hamlet and Sylvester, our boys.

You are no easy going companion, sometimes you want nothing to do with me.

 What do you do, you ignore me completely then I am not supposed to get angry at you. Your tantrums alone is enough, I am fed up with it, I can take no more, please I beg of you go and take all that anger and frustration out somewhere else than here.

 You do things your way, forget about how I feel or what I want it is simply who you are and when you were small I never thought of that, teaching you to consider others, have I failed as a father? You laze around all day following the sun and at night you are awake when I want to sleep, who are you and what have you done with my original?

Yes I complain about you, I am as guilty as can be but my points are valid, I mean who baths so late at night when you could have done it earlier? You are after me, every night your method is the same, you are tired from lazing outside and chasing creatures that has done nothing to hurt you, when the food comes so do you. Chicken night is always the worst, like the fish you smile and stare at me just waiting for your portion. I have never given you some of my food, so why do you even try? I can't even eat gum without you wanting to take it from me, honestly you are weird, is that thanks to me?

But after all of this, unlike my friend the fish, when I am cold you will always be there, when I am upset or down, there you are. In the morning when I wake up I need you and my coffee to get me through the day. So next time I step on your tail just know that I am sorry because I can't tell you so.

 And if others want to teach you new tricks like licking ice cream or teasing you I can't always help but my cat, my thoughts are with you.

Leave me alone

Oh how our eyes meet sometimes, I try not to look at you but you just have to go from one way to the next and smile. I know it is polite to greet and smile but I do think you are overdoing it a little!

I gave you everything you have, we don't owe each other anything so it is fine, move on!

Every morning I wake up to the same thing, your annoying smile and that want in your eyes, how much more do you want from me?

The other day when I fell and bumped my knee there you were smiling back at me, you smile because I am in pain, how nice of you to do that. I did not realize my house was your amusement park.

You freak me out. I can understand a greet and smile but do you have to watch me all the time, can't you turn around and do something else?

The only time I get peace is at night when I turn it off leaving you in darkness but as morning comes so you and your smile and longing eyes return.

I wish I could make you angry or we could have a heated discussion about life in there and life out here so we can end up ignoring each other completely. Then you can stop smiling, stop staring and just let me be.

I mean your a fish, how dare you!I was not the one that bought you, that looked at you and thought, how nice, I want one of these. So please stop stalking me and leave me alone!

Thanks Chicken

Is this it? Could this be? I hear many people refer to the Holy Cow on a daily basis and it got me thinking, is the holy cow something that I have been missing over the years? Does these words have some higher meaning, some greater purpose. brings good luck and fortune to all who uses it's name?

The reason why I am thinking this way is because I use the words Holy Chicken and I am not a 100% sure but if these words have a higher meaning, a greater purpose attached to them I wonder who would win, the chicken or the cow?

What about people who uses other great words like holy frog, or holy mouse, even holy macaroni.  Macaroni? Surely that must be better than a cow, a chicken and a frog?? What does holy macaroni look like, has anyone actually seen a light shining from the sky, bells ringing and from the shadows comes the holy macaroni. 

I am troubled after all this thinking.

Today I felt like taking a phrase and really look at it from a silly and weird perspective but If I can share a secret with you, there is no such thing as a holy cow or all the rest in my life.

 Now act very surprised when I say, my holy chicken wakes me every morning with the screams of our cat ringing in my ears, for it wants FOOD and then the damn chicken starts laughing as I sit up in bed knowing that it is time to get up.

Thanks Chicken, my freaking holy chicken!

The rude side

We all have that, the moment that we can avoid but don't want to. Being rude sets people off and starts a screaming quarrel or even worse a real hands on fight. I believe sometimes being rude is a slap in the face yes, but sometimes comes well deserved.

1.What would it be like if no one got to the rude part? 
This dude at the office keeps using your coffee mug day after day, so each morning when you come in ready for your coffee, you discover that the guy has taken it again and to make matters even worse he smiles at you and waves.

2.So what now?
Not having the ability to be rude you walk over and as usual with a smile ask him not to use your mug again, knowing that tomorrow he will do the same thing. In the end you make your coffee in someone else's mug as he goes for that second cup.

3.What is happening to you?
Out of kindness and slight irritation you buy a big coffee mug for the guy in your office, smiling as you give it to him. You can kind of notice in his eyes that he is catching up on the real idea why you gave it to him in the first place. You calm your nerves a bit as the frustration and anger settles.

4. The next morning:
As you come in expecting to get your own mug back, you see him sitting over there smiling and waving with not the new mug you bought, but as usual with your mug in his hand. Then and there you realise that you could have just given the new mug to yourself and let him hold on to the old one. Angry and irritated you sit down at your desk looking at the open window next to you.

5. In the end:
As usual the dude walks over handing you the dirty mug. But not being able to be rude to his face, to tell him what you think and feel, just to get all that blocked up anger and irritation out you look at the window once more, grabbing him and throwing him out.

So the fact that we can be rude when someone oversteps a boundary or is making your life difficult for you, it is good to tell them and get it out because it does not only help you, in the end it helps them to grow to. But  please don't throw a person out a window, rather break a leg.
