Hope u all had a merry christmas. I surely did. It wasn't bad. the highlight must have been watching les miserables on DVD, all soppy-eyed. it was good, very cathartic.


And Yes okay I know im fat. didn't you know that? i have been the brunt of too many jokes. they normally go like that:
"oh, XXX is 5 months pregnant, you are already 9 months! congrats!"
"when is the baby due?"
"young kids like you 23 years old shouldn't have a tummy that is meant for middle-aged men."
and yeah i know i'm fat. when they say "9 months pregnant" they are not actually engaging in hyperbole. i do have a pot-belly, an embarassing one that sticks out like a sore thumb/balloon and invites everyone to rub it "for good luck", as a friend has put it. and it means i can't wear anything but black, or something dark, lest it look too obvious.

but you never hear anyone make fun of "stupidity" or "arrogance" or "nastiness". you never hear someone say "why are you so dumb!", just as if to call one stupid is being absolutely inconsiderate, and absolutely "insensitive" to the person's feelings - because the logic is - one cannot control how stupid he may be, or how arrogant he may be, but one can control how 'fat' he is. i don't buy that; is it not inconsiderate and insensitive to call someone 'fat' as well? or say 'oh he has put on so much weight?' and is not the lack of an aptitude in studies/work/anything also due to some character flaws for eg. laziness just as being fat is a product of another character flaw, that of greed? if i'm lazy and i dont study all my life i will naturally be more stupid; if i'm greedy and eat all day i will become fat; how come people only make fun of the fat and not of the stupid?

i know why - because being 'fat' is good for 'comic relief'. if you see a fat person, you can make fun of him because you can laugh about it hahaha. wow.
i'd like to see people comment on another's ears, for instance; how come no one goes and says 'look at those big ears!' or.....other body parts - to say the least.
the bottom line is, we like to talk too much, about stupid things. maybe we are too bored in life. then go get a life. go get a hobby. go do something. go learn about the world man. where is greenland? go find out. wikipedia. there is so much more to life than being concerned with my fat belly.
