It's been a while since I last wrote. Much has happened since then. I've started working... I have my own place... I do what I please, when I please. Nobody to question me... Nobody to stop me. I am living the life I always hoped I would get to live.
... or am I?
It is so true about the pasture being greener on the other side, though I don't particularly understand why whoever came up with this proverb chose this particular metaphor. I mean we are humans right? A much more mentally advanced species. Why compare us with COWS? Of all the slow witted, boring creatures. Don't get me wrong I like cows... the healthy amount that is. But they aren't the most intelligent or awe-inspiring of God's creations. Now that I think about it, a cow wouldn't really abandon available food just because it "feels" that the color of it looks better on the other side of a barbed fence. Why couldn’t he have chosen something like elephants? – Something like “The river is always muddier on the other bank” or lions – “The miniscule bit of flesh that you have let your hardworking wife have seems tastier after you have finished your hunk” (OK that’s a bit too long but you get the drift) I just can’t understand this weird obsession with cows. People sure are peculiar.
Moving on, my life which is supposed to be perfect seems too brown or less muddy or doesn’t taste good. I wonder why? I mean why is it that you are never happy with what you get. It’s ok in books n all when they say this makes you strive for more and keeps away complaisance. But honestly? It just makes me wonder about the point of struggling to achieve anything, when I already know, once I get it I am not gonna like it anymore.

Of a new God
As opposed to my earlier opinion, I had come to the conclusion that inactivity doesn't help creativity. Hence the extended period of the soothing shut eye, the pleasurable sin of gluttony and being a couch spud has just led to a serious condition of brain-deadness. Whoever said ' without action there is no juice' clearly knew what she was talking about! But while my back was in the process of fusing with the couch upholstery and my eyes glued to the tube, my mind did tend to wander.
These are some of the earth shattering revelations I came up with through no conscious effort of my own:
- Why does a dog love to stick his head out a moving car window but tries to maul you when you blow in his face?
Maybe because he can't talk and is very emphatically trying to tell you that you have breath issues and to not come near him unless you brush.
- Now you might wonder how can he act so pious when his breath stinks like nothing ever could?
Well he never does actually blow on your face does he?(Now the wet kiss that you get is an occupational hazard of being a dog's best friend and is clearly stated in the manual)
- Why is it that when you are chasing a lizard out the house that they run toward you?
Sieving through my many theories...1) Maybe because they want to go in the direction right opposite to the exit (reptiles could be stupid that way) 2) Or maybe they are trying to perfect a new psychological ambush program called ' Spook the wuss'. Their previous program 'Leave the tail behind' was definitely a roaring success.
Now you might be wondering what my brilliant theories have to do with the post title. Well i guess that is my most awesome revelation of all. The porcelain god seems to have become obsolete! I am doing better in my current position on the couch and staring a hole through the TV. So meet the new, improved and more comfortable Spud God!
Try it and let me know how it works out.
