When I saw you, it wasn’t the feeling of nostalgia that surprised me, it was the feeling of regret.

Hiss...
I was walking in my backyard today when suddenly, I heard a sharp and loud ‘hiss’ from behind me. I froze in fear. Oh crap. It’s a snake! Damn it! What should I do? Should I run? NO! Those documentaries always say to stay still… or was that for when you confront a grizzly bear? Damn it! What the hell should I do? Maybe… I should play dead?
Then, something moved on my right. I felt my whole body tensing and my heart rate jumping as adrenaline is being pumped through my entire body and my hands clenching. What the hell?
The thing moved in front of me. It was a goose. He stared at me. I stared back. Snake?
It began to hiss. No, it’s not a snake. It’s a damn stupid goose. It began to lurch towards me, hissing with every movement. What the hell? Where did you come from? And since when do geese hiss? I thought they ‘honked’ or something.

My mum today was absolutely convinced that the BMW was stuffed. On the steering wheel, on the indicator stick, there’s a button where if pressed, it will change the dispay on the speedo to estimated fuel economy, estimated distance left, kilometres travelled and things like that. She was convinced that this button was stuffed. I checked. It wasn’t broken. She was pressing the wrong one. She was pressing the button on a different stick that activates cruise control.
I told her what she was doing wrong. She wouldn’t believe me.

What really annoys me is when I have to explain something to someone with the intellect of a goldfish.

Early Bird Special: So, let me get this straight: The hotter it gets, the more clothes supermodels are forced to take off? And this is supposed to convince me to help prevent climate change? Yeah, not the most well-thought-out PSA ever.

I beg to differ. I thought that this was a pretty good ad.

My mum bought a new BMW 120i convertible
Bad: Money could be much better spent. E.g. deposits on several investment properties.
Good: I get to drive it on weekdays. And, it’s bought under ‘my’ business, so technically, legally, basically and practically, it’s mine.
