I was watching Super Botox Me on TV … and in case you are wondering, it is because I would not rule out botox in the future. It brought tears to my eyes. It looks painful. I am aware of the saying “no pain - no gain” but seriously this looks painful. And why do we do it? So we can look as close to picture perfect as humanly possible. We just want to look like those airbrushed models and celebrities!
Will I do consider it despite the pain. You bet! I am as shallow as the rest of the human population. Now to fund those few thousand quid every few months!!

“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” Oscar Wilde
Fair enough. I fall into the latter category as you may have obviously realised. Mind you, so do most people. Thinking about it, so do the people who try to be charming fall into the tedious category. Are there any truly charming people? Are all people simply tedious? Hmmm….

“Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you are tired.” Jules Renard
Perhaps laziness is actually a well thought out plan. If you rest before you get tired, you do not get tired which means you have the energy to do what you want to do. Genius!

I have always thought of dying as quite morbid but well aparently there are some ways where it nearly doesn’t sound so bad…
And some people will actually experience death more than once…. I am refering to Derek Jones who died 31 times!!

“We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose.” Bishop Desmond Tutu
He does have a point. How many times do we do something in the name of fairness or equality or for the best, yet by our own actions we are falling into the same trap?
Good examples include
- People fighting for peace!!
- Fucking for Virginity!!

“Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.” Blaise Pascal
But it still does not explain justice!!
I think perhaps that Justice is Fairness that is controlled; but then again is it fair that it is controlled?

“Writing is the most fun you can have by yourself!” Terry Pratchett
I am not sure that I agree, but my partner is sure glad that that is what Pratchett thinks. Besides which, makes my life easier as come Christmas I always have my partner’s stocking present chosen. Pratchett’s latest book of course!
