Much Ado About Something

A group of friends were sitting together. Some started talking about religion, a couple of them yawned in disdain, but this proved to be rather interesting. “What is the big bang theory?” “Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur, happy kitty, ...." “Huh?” “Leonard, Penny, Sheldon, Howard, and Rajesh.” “Who?” “The Big Bang Group!” A blank stare. “So you don’t watch the program.” “Moving on…Does God exist?” “Of course He does.” “Then what about the big bang theory?” “It airs on Mondays, I think!” Blank blank blank stare leading to #@%#@%#@%#@% Have a rocking weekend me lovelies.

People walk into our lives and some spin out The few who remain are worth thinking about Sharing a secret with a close one brings relief beyond measure While the gossipy ‘friend’ welcomes this new found treasure. Drop the unnecessary attachment who uses you for plain endorsement Seeking out ways to be one up on you Claiming the friendship is like steadfast glue. Some knocks and trips wake us from our stupor Heralding the end of a relationship that holds no future With eyes wide open and instinct taking over Hoping that the ones that linger on Stay for keeps and never let us down.

I have been the route meeting with so many quacks that I am fatigued at the way some doctors/specialists don’t think twice about ripping patients off. Having said that however, I would like to point out that there are so many earnest doctors who go the mile and are an honor to their profession. This post is not about the earnest doctors, but the rip offs. Sometime ago I sought the professional expertise of a renowned specialist who had an entourage to handle her every whim and fancy. I paid to consult her but was tossed aside to meet her intern! Being ill and hazy, I had no say in the matter but this left me extremely annoyed that I had to stiff up a large bill… for what? With irate friends, colleagues and relatives who have been shortchanged by a few quacks, I have penned a couple of lines below… Doctors, physicians, radiologists, new life healers, and others we have met Treat us with disdain and mere guinea pets A pill here, blood transfusion there and scans everywhere Set...

Patience pays. Money talks. Arrogance is redundant. God is love. With these two-three liners in my pocket I ventured out quite a while ago to create some furor with the nomadic tribe I call my friends. Patience pays. “You know I have been on the case with some officials for a couple of years regarding the water hassle and hopefully my patience will pay off!” “What was the problem?” “You know about the constant woes we have been facing….” Yawn… doesn’t appeal to her. She would prefer to move on to bigger fish. Money talks. “The other day, the husband and I were out shopping and realized that we forgot our wallets. I thought he had his and he thought that I had mine.” “O crap. Did you have to stay back and work for your supper!?” “You crazy or what - like that would ever happen! I haven’t worked a day in my life and I am not gonna start now!” “Ok” “All we had to do was show them his visiting card and we were out of there scot free. And to add to it we were...

Here are some of the grouses that a couple of my comrades have been raving about. With this doing a jig around my crazed mind, thought of throwing this open to you me lovelies so that I could get some responses about this ‘thing’ called courtesy. • Some people choose impoliteness because just because they cannot be bothered (being nice). But the same individuals get way cranky if courtesies aren’t thrown their way. Weird huh?! • When one buys a gift for another, isn’t it a done thing to go across to the person and give it to the friend? The whole gesture is totally shallow when an individual calls a friend/relative and says “I have bought something for you but cannot come across and give it because of xyz – so can you come across and collect it.” Seriously, why bother to buy it in the first place! Sick huh? • There are many who discard a present because it does not meet with their expectation and then hand it over to some sad sucker. Sometimes it lands up with the very person...

What are you this way? What can I say I like me this way! What way do you like yourself? Thin or fat? Seriously?! This is a no-brainer dude! So…? Come on! You know the answer! Aha so thin it is. Yay! You won. What say we walk over to the desert counter my treat – your prize? Aha so plump it is then. No, what is it with you? I said I wanted thin didn’t I? Nope actually you didn’t. I just fathomed you did! Hmmm…Got jacked! What say we live and let live. Thin fat, short tall, rich poor, old young, boozer teetotaler, smoker non-smoker, sick healthy, smart not-so-smart… accept the now and try not to cling to the hardly ever. Bring it on and dialogue here with moi me lovelies if you would like to say something… X…O…

As I cozy up to 2011, I hope that the tide will turn eliminating recession bringing forth good health, peace and contentment, accompanied with happiness and bliss always to everyone the world over. As resolutions go I make them and by the second week of Jan they are out the door. So instead of working towards something rather time consuming and often strenuous, I’m just gonna go with the flow and based on this will embrace the good times and accept the bad ones. But here are a few that I’m gonna follow: • Bring sexy black/brown to the hair roots (one can live in hope!?) • Get the bank account laughing • Shed the flab super fast • Be good and careful - if not the former gonna stick with the latter for sure • Watch more news programs (seriously?) • Avoid negative influences and cling to the positive ones • Avoid calling the water, electricity and other departments with the hope that I just don’t need to Cheers to you me lovelies and I will let on during the course of the m...
