A WALK TO REMEMBER

This time I was at my wits ends trying to think about something to write. The deadline was looming ahead and worry was gnawing at me constantly, like a hiccup that just won’t go away. So, just to clear my head, I went out for walk— perhaps I would see something interesting to write about; just like in the movies, when the hero gives up all hope, he accidentally opens the secret passageway.

Desperately, I glanced around, hoping that something at least mildly interesting would happen. I even tried to stare at various people in the hope that something worthwhile would develop; but all I got was a few choice words from an old lady!

Predictably, as it often happens when you don’t watch where you are going, I banged my head on an overhanging branch of a stupid tree and as I was trying to regain my balance I stepped in a huge pile of shit. (Notice that the tree is stupid, not the certain someone who blindly walked right into it.) So there it was- something interesting and funny I could write about. The person behind me couldn’t stop laughing. (I hate him!)

It led me to a very deep philosophical insight- In life, if you don’t watch where you are going; you end up in a pile of shit. Not very original I admit, but it does have real life significance, believe me!

Speaking of philosophies, seeing my ...er… 'pretentious' cynical attitude I was asked to develop a ‘positive mental attitude’ towards life. I’m pretty positive that I’m mental and I’ve got an attitude— problem solved right?? However my reasoning didn’t exactly impress anyone. Hah! Not many people appreciate humour!

Well, anyways, the walk did help- I’ve got the post to prove it! And well it was, all things considered, ‘A walk to remember’ ; although for all the wrong reasons. So keep in mind:

Watch where you keep your feet,
Unless you want to end in a pile of shit!
