Did you say depressive?

Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night's sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever.

The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too...

Do you know me?

People often wonder why bloggers like me do not put in much effort in verbally deciphering their "About me" section.

I have intentionally omitted my entire life history; however, if you have a predilection for the soporific, and you’d like to know more about me, then just ask.

If you have blog-related questions, then feel free to ask. If you have questions concerning the meaning of life, quantum mechanics or string theory, then I suggest you Google it.

Stress...

Let's start with women...oh these women! They happen to have different categories of stress(surprised?), notably:
1. Stress caused by relationships
2. Stress caused by the famous "time of the month" aka "little girl problem"
3. Stress caused by miscellaneous circumstances / events
Let me develop briefly these categories so you can fully grasp the extent of their vulnerability to stress.
Category 1:
Women are always stressing about their ‘relationships’ with other men, women, children, elderly, in-laws…in short, you name it and they are worried about it. Perhaps, it has to do with the “What are you doing…? what will others think?” question that every elder has probably asked the girl frequently while she was growing up.
Category 2:
If you are currently in a relationship with a member of the female species, you should know by now that these 3 days will always bring out sessions of complaints, tears, silence, solitude(for us) and need I mention moodiness?
However once you realise that the same elements and issues will be played over and over again, all you have to do is say "It's my mistake sweetheart" or "I didn't realise this meant so much to you" or my favorite "I promise I will never behave like that anymore".
Category 3:
This category relates to circumstances / events such as 50% sales, new collection at a lingerie boutique advertised on a supplement brochure in the Sunday paper, surprise guests at dinner time, another woman wearing the same outfit as her at a wedding and the like)
If you feel there are more categories you've been faced with, please add them up in the Comment section. My research on these so-called women was interrupted when the women I was interviewing (mother, niece, girlfriends) refused to participate further due to Stress Category Number 3.
For men on the other hand, stress can only be due to 2 things:
1. The football team the men are cheering for loses the match (Here it can only be Manchester OR Liverpool)
2. Work
Since there is no solution to Manchester OR Liverpool losing the match, men will simply pick up another beer and stare blankly at the TV set and wallow in some mind blankness until everything seems to go back to normal.

 
As for work, the stress is quite easy to understand. It can either be about whom he should flatter to go ahead or whom should he start digging a grave for. Or...in case the man is in his late twenties and looks married, the stress will be over why the new pretty interns don't speak to him.

Plans...

 

Today I break from my usual format to write about the subject of plans. Not so much my plans for this blog particularly, but more about life plans and how we all make them...and how we wish for all our close and loved ones would make good smart safe plans of their own. But if we are really honest with ourselves, most of the time our plans don't work out as we'd hoped.
So instead of asking people: "What are your plans?" or " What do you plan to do with your life?"...maybe we should tell them this: "Plan to be surprised!"

Indifference...

The quality I most covet in most people I care about is their indifference. Unlike me, and unlike so many of us, these special ones seem to have an internal stop button, a buffer beyond which their feelings do not extend. 

They experience life with the same transcendent loves and bottomless despairs and somehow come off as totally indifferent...pacific...whilst I tend to look more like a one-off freak.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile. However it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face. Should I try it? :-)

Girl on Girl...

 

Don't tell anyone at the church about this, but I think girls going out with girls is quite a sensible paradigm.

Imagine not having to do all the housework because she would definitely help?

If you found a nice girl the same size you'd have double the wardrobe...maybe shoes...oh my god so many shoes...

You'd never have to clean shaved beard hairs out of the sink...or eat greasy crappy food...

I don't know why everyone doesn't do it. 

It's awesome provided you stay that way though. It's the changing back to men that sends you mad...
