Multiple Choice?
What the hell kinda answer is that? First of all, I didn't ask you a question, secondly, even if I did ask you a question, im not the one to ask True and False questions. This isn't a multiple choice quiz.
In my opinion, when the word "true" is used, its used because the person who said it really doesn't care about what you just said. "i'm going to bed soon". rather than saying "okay, i really don't care" your friend has said "true". This word is used to pretend to acknowledge something you said that really doesn't matter...but they don't want to sound very rude...
its really funny if you think about it - what if someone said "false"...
circle one:
i'm going to bed soon - true/false

Secrets
I especially hate when someone has just finished eating and then they tell you a secret. Usually when someone talks, there are good words and bad words. When someone whispers after a meal, then there are good words, bad words, and words that smell. "Hey! don't say that word...it smells...." or "I like your vocabulary...they remind me of cookies"
I always wondered something though...can a person with a naturally strong lisp, tell a secret? Or does their tongue get in their way...

Floss It
"When was the last time you brushed your teeth?" they ask. You know it was last night, but your afraid to tell him. You know they're not going to harm you, but in a way they do; they take away your self confidence and expose the true you. They want to hear from you that you did not brush this morning. They want only the truth. Some dentists even post the Miranda Rights on their walls. Well they don't, but im going to.
"Do you floss?" they ask. They know I don't. I know I don't. If I did, they wouldn't ask. I should've flossed. But I didn't. And they want me to admit to them, looking straight in their eye. You can picture a court room scenario...
*Please call in the witness*
"Okay, i'd like to ask you madam, if you've ever seen this boy clean his teeth"
"Well I can hear him through the bathroom door"
"Thanks, now does the defendant floss?"
"I'm unable to answer that question"
*The defendant would like to plead...guilty. He does not brush*
Well this is it for tonight! Hope you enjoyed this one!
Nothing.
When you eat something, you're usually starving. When you eat steak, you're carving.
When you come out of the shower, you feel fresh. I knew an Indian guy named Venkatesh.
When you take some medicine, your mouth tastes bitter. But I have to take it, im not a quitter.
When you pee in your pants, its a mistake. If you need to pee when you're sleeping, you awake.
If you feel thirsty, go get a drink. Element Zn from the periodic table, stands for Zinc.
If you like to talk, joing the debating team. Some people are really good at it...Aaron Hakim.
If you have no friends, then its time to make some. Unless you're a loser, or a bum.
If you carry a purse, then your not a man. If you are, then watch out for the Ku Klux Klan.
This is a blog about nothing really...but its still in english, not swahili.

Apple Juice
Similarly, I had to give a blood test. The doctor said "Okay im going to call the lab technician and we're going to have to take some of your blood to test it for mono". No. No mono. mo NO. My heart ain't working this hard to just give blood away. Its mine. If my heart has to work this hard to make my blood, you're going to have to work MUCH harder to take my blood. I was nice and I gave a sample. It came back negative. So no mono.
You see, when the doctors want a urine sample, they're expecting a lot from you. They expect you to have urine in your system just waiting to be given away at that very moment in time. I had to give a urine sample once. The lab technician handed over a little container and I read it to myself and it said "urine". I looked at the technician and said "hmmm Urine". She said "yes, pee". Thanks dictionary.com, I didn't ask for a synonym. I know what urine is. I asked her when she wanted the sample, and she said "now." Uh oh. It was tough because I really didn't have to go. You can't just expect someone to urinate whenever you want them to...you gotta tell em in advance...I need a sample at 6:15. Drink lots of apple juice. eat a watermelon. I was nice and I gave a sample. It came back negative.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this one as well!
APO-CLARITHROMYCIN
Last Wednesday, I felt like crap. I went to the health centre, and I spoke to the nurse. At the time, none of us had any idea I had pneumonia. Anyhow, my lungs didn't sound right and my throat looked a little weird...there was white spots. Thats not normal. Thats why I was recommended to the doctor. The doctor had no clue what these white spots indicated, although she had a feeling it may have been Neisseria or something...which is basically a type of Meningitis. She wanted a sample of my blood and a sample of my throat...a throat swab they call it, and until these samples returned from the hospital, analyzed, I would have to live in quarantine.
I'd like to take this moment and describe the life of a guy in quarantine. Its like having no friends...not even imaginary friends want to be near you...the nurses and doctors wear masks and gloves when coming into the room, and they're the only other humans you will see until you are out of quarantine. I had my own bathroom in that room...but it didn't have a shower. I wanted a shower. Gautam got a shower. You see, I spoke to the nurse about this issue, and she was very nice...she went over to the public bathroom, which contains a shower, and posted a sign saying "Do Not Use".......oh ok.........I get it. Normal people aren't allowed to use it just because a guy from quarantine wants to. Am I not human? Do I not blink?
Anyhow, the samples came back from the hospital negative, but whilst waiting for the samples, I developed viral pneumonia. I had to get an x-ray in order for the doctor to see what was going on in my lungs. So I finally ended up with Biaxin. I was officially free from quarantine. Or so they said. I still stayed in that room, took showers in a room regular people weren't allowed to enter. I lived there for 8 days, and yesterday, Thursday, January 31 was my last day there...hopefully.
I'm on antibiotics...Biaxin, they call it. "Take 2 tablets twice daily for 10 days". You can analyze this. There is an alliteration...four words in a row starting with the letter T (take two tablets twice). I'm supposed to take it for 10 days. I forgot when I started. Uh oh. There's a warning sign saying "You should AVOID prolonged or excessive exposure to direct and/or artificial SUNLIGHT while taking this medication." I don't even know what that means, but i'm assuming i'm supposed to live in shade.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this blog! I enjoyed writing it!
A Good Question
So…it’s been a while since I’ve written a blog, but I’m only doing so because a friend requested me to. So to start off, I have a question, and I have an answer. The question is…how do you fit an elephant into an igloo? Read below to find out…the answer’s in there.
So how do you fit an elephant into an igloo? You know, this is a good question, and I have the perfect answer…but before I tell you the answer, I want to talk a little bit about how an elephant and an igloo relates to me.
Personally, I like elephants. They’re my favorite animal. I feel they’re a little underrated. They need to be advertised so more people know about them and like them. Igloos on the other hand, they’re a little overrated. Why the hell would you want to live in an igloo? Its cold enough outside, and now you want to live in a dwelling made out of snow and ice? Speaking of things being cold, the house I live in, in my boarding school is pretty damn cold sometimes; like at night. Turn on the bloody heater, I’m freezing my ass. So what have elephants got to do with the house I live in? Well, an elephant is a wild animal, and my house contains wild animals. It’s a little ironic because we aren’t allowed domestic creatures in the house, but I guess a wild animal is okay? Like the other day, I came back from a class and I see this guy jumping and hitting the roof – I ask “What the hell is going on?” He says “There’s a rat in the roof!” I asked “why?”, and he replies “because it’s up there”. See I hate these kinds of answers, because he’s just telling me what I just found out, from him. You see, I thought after the first question I asked, we had already established the point that there is a rat in the roof, but I guess he just wanted to reinforce it. It’s really pointless I must say…kind of like the dialogue below:
Billy says: There’s a rat in the roof!
Bobby says: okay.
Billy says: There’s a rat in the roof!
Bobby says: um…I thought we already established that point.
Anyways, forgive me if this blog wasn’t as good as my previous ones…it’s been a while and I guess I just need to get back into the groove. Oh right, to answer my question…you don’t fit an elephant into an igloo. Like why the hell would you want to do that?
Okay I’m done.
