Matters

Tap… tap… tap… tap… tap… Was tapping my fingers on the table, next to the mouse, wondering what on earth to do and not surprisingly; if my mind is left idol long enough, it goes into perpetual reflective, contemplative and inevitably, rant mood. That is exactly where it is right now, a quarter contemplative, a quarter reflective, a quarter ranting and the rest being used for stuff like… typing I suppose?

What is the matter with those who display a dismay change in attitude upon becoming attached/re-attached? Somehow or rather they (not trying to stereotype but females tend to do this more than males) would in act to demarcating their status, go to the extent of being subconsciously or maybe even consciously rude. No, I am not referring to the “I can’t make it because I promised my boy dinner” but rather a sudden change of attitude to that of couple-self-preservation which is nothing short of appalling. Ironically, these are the people who would say dreaded things such as “I don’t know why but ever since I got attached, my friends are no longer close to me.” May I suggest drinking a glass of turpentine? If the poisoning doesn’t shock you to the point of self-realisation at least you’ll be dead. Good riddance I’d say.

What is the matter with those who are attached (this one refers to the fairer sex only, feminists take note) and act like they aren’t? Well, I understand that their partner works 12 hours a day or so and while they keep complaining that their partner do not spend enough with them, they still cling to him for some pretty good reasons (I totally that financial security means quite a bit – we do live in capitalist/market society) but that doesn’t mean it’s alright for them to craftily seduce others for the sole purpose of fulfilling their quest for attention (and nothing more should I add); leaving the confused soul for another once they get bored. Ever considered dying painfully from asbestosis at the age of 60? - at least you get to ponder in return.

What is the matter with those who upon getting attached with will never let their partner be in peace? The annoyance usually starts by say 3 phone calls a day – “where are you? What are you doing? Who are you with?” and soon one will be littered with restrictions like – “No, you can’t go clubbing because there are other girls there!” (yea… right. Let me call you back when I’m in the club just to tell you I’m in a club). Soon, they will go with their ex (s) expecting you to be angry; if you are not, they will be (…?). Worse still, even after 2 years going sperate ways, she will continue to hassle the ex before her because she thinks that the ex before her is better than her (which unfortunately is the case). If a good lover deters one from moving on because one finds it hard to fall out of love, a shallow superficial one as described will caution one from getting attached for the fear of ending up with a similar sort. Pretty complimentary now ain’t it? - I had both.

What the hell is the matter with me? Well, I wouldn’t be writing this post if I knew now, would I? I guess I’ll get back to tapping on the table; this time with my head instead, next to the mouse, while I try to get that one figured out.
