Something I consider of paramount importance has happend today. Something I had expected to happend around this time of year though I was hoping it would be later so that there wouldn't be that many things on my plate.
An event that will change lives. Want to know what happend? Well I can't tell you, the other person in confidence would kill me.
... ...
No, I mean it.
.... ...
Not a thing
... ...
Okay just this once, one of my close friends has recently gotten involved with a significant other. I must express my tremendous excitement over the matter.
Someone no one would expect to get involved. Someone who has kept it in the secret for a while and in the works for abit.
Someone who many people would dismiss as some one who might be involved in the distant future but not now.
That's right it's ... Whoa caught myself there.
Friend if you are reading this now I want to you to know that I'm VERY happy for you. I hope it works out. I really do. It's nice have grown with you all these years to have you come to this I can't be more excited for you. I only wish I could have been there in Singapore when it happened. It weighs more heavily on me now than ever before that I'm away missing so much of the lives of the people I care about. Anyhow.
Always remember that if anything;
The 3 guys support you
The one from SAJC too
The couple them also
and the other three from school
(This is not meant to be a poem)
I'm sorry to the rest of it the above ( as in ALL of the above) is incoherent babble to the rest of you it's just spill over from my excitement and Joy.
Compare that with the post (of must lesser significance) and of rather bland literary taste. Which I had originally intended to post for today...
Plokim Phan and the Green Grubs of Hu Kou
Plokim walked around the Jeeps starting them up one by one ensuring that the battery didn't go flat when time came for them to move off. A boring job left to the lowest of life forms in camp but he didn't mind. The morning quiet was something he savoured, the riduculously cold night's chill fought off by the warmth that the morning sun brought in with all it's glory. A repetive task requiring little or no brain power which suited him just fine, seeing as it was early morning and he seemed to have left the better part of his wits back in the snug, warm protective covers of his bed.
He was presently attempting to start the last of the vehicles when a wasp swooped out from underneath bonnet of the jeep and took it's place in this story hovering in what Plokim hoped was a benign manner over his head.
Plokim didn't like wasps, bees or hornets especially if they were within a 3 mile radius of him. More so if they were hovering above his head, no matter however benign they may seem.
Plokim wasn't alone in the sudden intrusion of what he fore took was a quiet morning. X (whose name is really ELTON but might be reading this. Therefore names like ELTON have been changed to protect the identity of those involved).
X also noticed the appearance of the unwelcomed guest. Both scuttered back to the safety of the office and what one could only hope was a dignified and manly manner; to give the wasp a chance to clear off before they were forced to take REALLY manly action against it.
When they did return the wasp was gone. Of course their intent of returning to the area of incident was naturally to do battle with one of the worlds most potent primal insects. "It was wise of the wasp to flee before us" thought Plokim.
Sparked by curiosity as to what a wasp might be doing in the bonnet. X lifted the hood and found the reason the wasp had taken residence in the most un-stylish interior of the vehicle's bonnet; a nest. "Two nests actually," as Plokim pointed out to the author.
It then dawned on Plokim that it was up to them to destroy the nests of the wasp and prevent whatever it was in the nest from ever reaching maturity. Such heroic and noble thoughts often filled the mind of Plokim, along with it, thoughts of this incident turning into the sort of story that's told by the fire side to gullible grandchildren or being offered a multi million dollar Hollywood deal for the rights to this story.
That being said both of the characters in this story felt for the screwdrivers in their pockets ( any self respecting engineering specialist always has one handy) and prodded the nests to give whatever inhabitants of those nest a chance to vacate. Finding none, they returned to the workshop to procure a hammer and using it procee
*SMASH*
(Authors no*SMASH*te, please excuse my characters they really are*SMASH* nonviolent *SMASH*staff, it's just that*SMASH* they're really excitable*SMASH*)
After crushing the nest more times than anyone would have expected or wanted. X being the first of return from primitive fervor noticed that one of the nests was completely empty. No doubt a cunning plan of the enemy to increase the odds of the other nest surviving.
The twin of the empty nest wasn't empty at all in fact it was very full, overflowing even. Green wasp larvae crawled about in their larvae like manner, thinking larvae thoughts.(" Am I disgusting you when I wiggle like this? No? Okay how about this?....")
X then proceeded to pulverize the nest even more. Plokim looked on mouth wide in shock.
This is where the story abruptly ends and today's Jonathan's Gem begins.
Jonathan's Gem: Today's moral, life changing, universe altering lessons are;
1) Do not smash green wasp grub with a hammer no matter how satisfying the squishing sounds.
2) Do not stand around someone smashing wasp grubs with a hammer.
3) Opening your mouth in amazement or shock is a very bad way to express these emotions.
4) Squishing grubs is a cruel way to kill them, it is much better to leave them to preyed on and killed the way nature intend; by reality TV contestants.
And now for the lesson you've all been waiting to hear (don't deny it):
5) Green wasp grubs taste salty and corny.
That is all
