The Pen!

For the first time since… I can’t remember when… I’ve finished all the ink in a pen! At the point of time, when the pen ran dry, and my (ugly) scribbles became (even uglier) non scribbles, I actually felt… I know this is weird, but it’s true… an inner peace… that I’ve accomplished something… something HUGE.

It’s been such a long time since I’ve actually written with a Pen. The last time I attempted, I got cramps writing a 3 page long letter to a friend. Pen welding muscles do degenerate after prolonged periods of non usage! It is a vicious cycle… I started out typing on the computer for most of my thoughts that need to be written down because my handwriting is ugly, and because I don’t write as often, the handwriting becomes uglier, and because my handwriting has gotten so ugly, I refuse to write and just use the computer to type down everything that I want. And the cycle continues. It’s the ugly handwriting computer nerd death trap. [(Ugly handwriting) (Computer Nerd)] that is… and not [Ugly (handwriting computer) Nerd]… or [(Ugly handwriting computer) Nerd]… or [Ugly (handwriting) Computer Nerd].

So… as I looked through my first pen filled notebook in a lifetime, I felt a sense of pride. The kind of pride a parent has for a child… no matter how butt ugly and disgusting the kid is.

A side tangent… I just realized that you can ALWAYS make fun of ugly people. Because no matter how bad the joke is, no one will ever get offended. If you make racial, sexual or religious jibes, someone of the particular group that is made fun of will take offense. But if you tell jokes about ugly people, no one will actually say “Hey! It’s not nice making fun of people like me!”

Prove to me that I am wrong. Find me someone that takes offence at ugly people jokes.
