Good ‘ol times

All my life, after I did some mischief of sorts, people were telling me that that was not what they expect from me. Good ‘ol times!

A.P. Chekhov, one of my favorites, has a short story titled “The Man in a Case”. If you haven’t read it so far, please read it immediately. That way you’d understand a bit better the things that I write about here.

Process

Waking up after a night of heavy drinking, I have a feeling that my body is dispersed over a great surface, and my organs are slowly starting to come together and form myself again. I was always disappointed by the end result of that process.

Speed

Speed is when a lazy person takes upon doing things that (s)he doesn’t like (e.g., me cleaning my apartment: I prefer to swipe it with a look).

Draft

Being deadly afraid of a draft and walking only in a T-shirt through the storm is a sign of irrationality.

Selective memory

We remember God only when we need him. He, however, always keeps an eye on us.

Lazy God

God only worked six days in his life. I know people who are lazier than him.

Rich

God only worked six days in his life, according to Bible. He must have been rich.

Abuse

When creating animal species, God granted them sexuality to ensure the continuation of his work. Not even he could have imagined how greatly humans are going to abuse this gift.

Defensive

To be on the defensive all your life means that life was overwhelming and that others didn’t let you live. Or, you just imagined it.
