Malodourous Wild Theory

by

Your own farts smell good to you.

The farts of another person do not.

The odour from farts are caused by the bacteria in your body digesting the food you consume.

Theory: Your body enjoys the smell of its own bacteria but not the smell of the bacteria in other people’s bodies.

It is possible that the bacteria of your immediate family members have some bearing on whether you find them palatable.

It is highly likely that the bacteria in your Mother’s body is more pleasant to you, especially at an early age, than any other family member.

Two people in a close intimate relationship may eventually exchange enough bacteria, or become used to the bacteria, that they no longer find each other’s farts offensive.

Studying – Tang-Soo Do karate

by

This month I am studying “Tang-Soo Do karate”

This is the 20th month of study.

I’m taking a walking holiday from here (in Wales) all the way out to Norway. Won’t have too much time for karate but I have set myself a goal of an hour per day.

Bad play

by

It is not sexist, racist or whatever-ist to point out that you’re bloody crap at your job and worse than useless.

How I point out you are bad can be.

But when I say “You’re playing stinks and I believe they made a terrible mistake in letting you perform with us” your gender, skin colour and lifestyle preference has nothing to do with it.

And the moment you raise any of those physical traits as a reason of why you are being singled out, you have immediately invalidated any defense you might have used to dissuade me otherwise.

I might have delivered the blow badly, but at no time did I ever level the complaint against you based on some physical trait.

Plain and simple, sometimes you just suck.

What is the mass of oppression?

by

Many people live in an oppressive regime.

And they work hard to remove that regime from power only to end up a few years later being oppressed by a different regime.

If generation after generation of a people are being oppressed repeatedly by different regimes, it isn’t the regimes that are the root of the problem, it’s the people letting them get to the point where they can become oppressive.

I know I am saying this as a white guy living in a politically stable geographic location and era, but really, who’s putting these violent ass clowns in power?

There and back again

by

If think about it, a sociopath enjoys the journey, but a psychopath enjoys the destination.

I have, however, always enjoyed coming back home.

Impatiently praying

by

Dear God, please give me the patience but not the strength to deal with the idiots I will face today.

With patience I will tolerate them.

But with strength I will haul off and smack them.

Arse!

by

The problem with people acting like an arsehole around me is that they get really upset when they find out I am a bigger arsehole than they could ever be.

You merely affect being an arsehole. It comes naturally to me and I practice, deliberate practice of course, every day.

You tinkle the ivories whilst I close out Carnegie Hall on a daily basis.

P.S. “Hell of a nice guy” in my Fido.net email signature block is a truism so long as you don’t push the wrong button.

Studying – A level computer science

by

This month I am studying “A level computer science” and “Tang-Soo Do karate”

The A level was 6 months part-time.

This the 6th month of computer science and 19th month of karate

One thing I have noticed, I have bruises all over the tops of my feet from the painful floor sitting exercises. After a year and a half you’d think I’d have toughened up by now, but sitting on my feet for hours a week still leaves me in pain.
