sick

I’ve been sick as a dog for the last couple of days.
Sick as a dog? I won’t even pretend to understand the English language. Speaking of the English language, who the hell knows how to use a semi-colon properly? You want to end the sentence; but you don’t; so you just shove it; somewhere?

Anyhow, back to my affliction: Spent the last two days lying in bed having K wait on me (erm, no, didn’t actually deliver the whole “its not you, its me” break-up speech I’ve been formulating – YET). I’m supposed to pick up the results of my blood test today and find out exactly what’s wrong with me. Could be a cold or the flu or cholera or Tuberculosis or the on-set of AIDS or... Hmm, maybe I should just wait for my results.

I have a feeling it might have something to do with the four bloated mosquitoes I killed this morning flying around lazily, slower than usual since they were stuffed with my blood. I killed them, if for nothing else, just to wipe the smirk on their bloodied faces. I probably didn't have to coz they were so fat any moment they would've popped on their own anyway. My apartment is buzzing with hundreds of those deadly little carnivores and nothing I do seems to get rid of them. I hardly ever get sick; (oooooh! could that actually be the correct use of a semi-colon??) in fact it was probably back in 2001 the last time I had anything more than a runny nose. Been in this blood sucking fest for 1 month and I suddenly come down with fever, shivers, coughs, the whole shebang. I’ve tried insecticides and some weird coily thing that burns all night and reeks up the entire place so bad that even I don’t wanna be in the apartment although the mosquitoes don’t seem to mind much. There’s this lotion that is supposed to ward off bugs from within 1m of me. More like attracts them from the look of things. There's something you plug into the power outlet which is supposed keep them away from the building, not much good that's done me so far. A combination of all four seems to result in the sweetest perfume, because thats when they come diving into my skin brandishing forks and knives with a napkin tied around their neck.

At this stage there’s only one thing left to do: BURN THE HOUSE DOWN. That ought to show 'em who’s boss. But I've been advised against that, so instead, my apartment is getting professionally fumigated today - you're going down, sick bastards! I can almost picture a dozen or so masked men striding into the apartment in slow motion, surrounded by a cloud of toxic fumes as the Mission Impossible soundtrack resonates in the backgound...

Hopefully that’ll keep me safe.
For a week, at least.

That sucks ass! :( Feel better!

This should help you with your colon, er, semi-colon problem.

Thanks Bent! It never dawned on me that there were actual rules governing these things. Yes, I'm really that thick. Spent hours going through that drop down list.

Bloody mosquitoes, had to spend a night at their mercy recently and I'm all for fumigating the planet if it gets rid of them. Hope you feel better soon.

And to think that in the old days they used to bleed people because they thought it would make them well again. That's progress for you.

Thgs Tht Ps Me Off But They Realy Shudnt Al Becz Im Nurotik n Mity Irationl Sumtims Espcialy Whn The PMS Sets In n I Hve a Frikn Rash i Cnt Get Rid Of

Nah, just kidding. About writing about things that piss me off I mean. There are just so many I wouldn’t know where to begin. But I wasn’t kidding about the PMS. Or the goddamn STD-looking rash. Anywayz, this is my last post. Lets just say one or two people got hold of this link and I feel that my writing has gotten severely compromised, defeating its original purpose as a forum to express my self-righteous indignation. Besides, i was begining to feel like I'm a modern day Narcissus. I've finally come to terms with the fact that I will never be a writer. But I’ll always be an avid reader, so to my fav bloggers - Bent, Carrie, Kykie - see ya’ll on your own turf. With that said, I’ll leave you all with these profound words of wisdom: Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur. (whatever is said in Latin sounds profound) Laterz.

A revelation

In my excitement of having unrestricted Internet at home I eagerly went in search of all the x-rated content I've been so deprived of. But I would just like to take this moment to announce that as of today, I OFFICIALLY HATE PORN. It's just plain disgusting. All that...er...liquid. And all those...um..orifices. Eeewww. I cringe just thinking about that scene i just saw. Yes ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not, from here on out this computer will be porn free. Thats all.

Death and stuff

Some dude drowned infront of my very eyes on Sunday at the beach. One minute he is building sand castles infront of us, 30 mins later some guys are pulling his pale body out of the water - a little too late. Thats only the second corpse I've ever seen close up. The warmest one, thats for sure. I even danced with him at the club on Saturday night. Cute as hell too. *sigh* Life is but a fleeting glance. Or something. (Lets pretend i said something profound). Meanwhile back in the office - work pileth up. Haven't had a moments breathing space and would've even come to the office over the weekend if one of my neighbours hadnt come up with the brilliant idea of a road trip to a seaside town for the weekend. Speaking of roadtrip, we were on our way back home after the incident above (i mean nobody goes anywhere near the water for the rest of the day after such an event) when we noticed people crowding up by the river to see this little kid not a day over 12 who had apparently dro...
