A stellar post as usual - your analogy is fantastic, and your humour on point. An utter pleasure to read, and thanks for stopping past MY post so I was reminded to see what brilliance you have posted.
I have shot myself in the face recently, resulting me retreating to a trench to lick my own wounds, which tasted awful. After many bottles of wine saline solution and hard drugs a few panadols and a dirty bandage, I returned to the battle renewed, enjoying the cameraderie of my fellow soldiers far, far more than all the other whale bullshit shenanigans power trips goings on.
Yes, that's the whole point :p In fact, I update my friends ' feed and really follow their publications. I can't write as much myself as I would like, but I can read high-quality content from other authors. I like to maintain a constant dialogue with some of them. For example with you and meesterboom. For the opposite example, I like
nonameslefttouse publications, his writing style is very good. But I understand that I can't understand the whole meaning of his texts, because English is not my native language. Therefore, quite often, I can't comment on his post deliberately (sincerely), and I don't do it.
And you write quite easily and about simple things that happened in my life too. So it gives me pleasure to read and comment on you.
