Intlxpatr has started a tag that i think is especially poignant at a time when everyone is paying more at the supermarket, mp’s and governments are fighting over money the world over, and just about every stock market in the world is starting to look like an emo teenager who needs to go on prozac,…. or get a good kick up the backside.
so heres the deal:
list five things that make you happy / smile / not act emo that each or all together cost less than KD5.000
which is roughly US$20 or 10 quid or Euros 12.
or 129782578940375847835784378943078 trillion zimbabwean mugabe dollars.
here are my five:
1- the smell of a good strong cup of home brew coffee first thing in the morning ( none of that starbucks crap,… ps even if a starbucks coffee only costs KD 1.500, it doesnt count cos you have to add the “i am a chump and will pay for a lifestyle image” tax of $50 a cup,…. ).
2- the feeling of a rotating cotton bud in your ear…. i’m surprised there isnt a porn fetish for this yet,… or maybe i just havent looked hard enough,.. not that i’ve looked yet.
3- the clipping of nails,…. both toe nails and fingernails,…. but i find toe nails much more satisfying, naturally. ( only my own toenails of course,… i dont want to clip yours or anyone elses!)
4- the first breeze on a freshly shaved head as you walk out the barber shop.
5- that split second, when you jump off the diving board, where youre just hanging, you know right before the plunge.
what?
yes.
of course youre tagged.
you read it, so youre tagged!
why?
cos.
time to google “cotton bud porn”.
