Use Protection If You Want to See Tomorrow

-

Men must understand, no protection, no privilege. Nature protects all fruit with a skin.

I don’t eat fruit with the skin on. It’s a death sentence for women when men refuse to use protection at night. Women allow it out of love or having no choice, because they are married. Some men step out a lot but still refuse to protect wives from diseases they collect in the wilderness. Mothers become infected, die and leave behind orphans.

Nature wraps fruit in skins to preserve the goodness inside. Animals know the secret. That’s why they don’t peel fruit, just unleash the chomp chomp chomp! It’s not necessary, unless it’s pineapple or kiwi. I don’t have time, otherwise I’ll do research and see if the Guinness Book of Records has any person who has eaten pineapple without peeling it.

I love oranges but I think twice about eating them. Messy comes to mind, from cutting them to taking the first bite. I also avoid wearing white tops because orange stains are stubborn. What is funny though is that I don’t peel mango. I don’t regard the juice that snakes down my hand as messy. I lick it then take another bite.

Peaches have a fur coat but there’s no need to peel them. We can’t avoid peeling paw paw, but there comes a time when we peel off people because they are detrimental to the juice inside the paw paw: our sanity.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
