Less is

Ok, as
promised here’s a new piece for you. I’ve had a catch up with Vincenzo and it
really should get International awards. 10/10 at least. So Less is More, what am
I talking about. Not how I nag people, well maybe or maybe not. As you know I’m
nosey so I watch people, hence decades of memories. And I’ve read and studied
and I’ve even been writing for a long long time.
I once
worked in a call centre, doesn’t everybody. And a girl there said to one of my fellow
workers “you’re just a scruffy Indian”, only later did he reveal to her that he
was in fact working 7 days a week, which is stereotypical Indian, or Korean. He
was earning extra money to pay for Teacher Training at University for his wife.
His real job, his 9 to 5 job? He, the “scruffy Indian” as she called him, he
taught surgeons how to use lasers in operations. Yes really. I won’t reveal his
name. But he was a very nice man.
Which
makes me wonder the scars I have up both legs to my naughty bits and right down
my chest, were they blade or laser? Anyway I’ve had 6 years extra time so far, and
that’s why Still Alive 2015 had that title. So I’m rambling, do you want me to
cut to the chase, or shall I put it in a podcast. I could record this later so
you can hear it on Spotify later, https://anchor.fm/michael-casey1
to HEAR my Podcast.
Carrying on, do you just want bullet points,
and a vacuous list, like you find in features pages? Yes, I’m very critical of
the quality of stuff that litters the internet, Miaow. Here’s a few tips for
you. First, make a list. Then you’ll buy less at the supermarket, or buy less online
so you avoid impulse purchases. Ditto with your day, five minutes planning while you
pooh on the toilet in the morning, will make all the difference to your day,
and you will feel less bloated too. If only Trump twittered less during his
toilet time he would have been less irritable, and so much more organised.
Getting the Country to fight amongst itself is not organisation.
Look in
the mirror before you go out, because appearances matter, to some. And you don’t
want your dress stuck in the back of your panties, or your flies open. Simple
things that can change your life. Yes, simple things matter. Like smiling,
being Happy is a choice, even if you are not one of the 7 Dwarfs. I had the AA
motto, How I can make this Day count, on my mantlepiece for years. No, I was
not a drunk, I found it in a newspaper and cut it out, maybe 35 years ago. The
point being, I read something and I agreed with it. So, I took it as my own.
You have to smile, or people will say you are a misery guts, we had a guy work
with us in the hotel, that was what we thought of him, misery. If only he smiled
instead.
So, perception,
and self-perception do matter. If only Michael Jackson did look in that mirror
and change. How you look does affect how you feel. Yes, I know you all think I
look like an illiterate tramp, but I want you to judge the words, and I detest
those perfect vacuous influencer selfies, just before they fall off the cliff
while taking selfies. Again I do like to surprize people, I had a doctor talk
down to me at a conference, so I waited, he was talking about hotel economics,
then I said my piece, adding My Brother did Economics at Cambridge, his reply,
I can tell. So he noticed I had a brain then, so never talk down to anybody,
just in case they bite your bum. Though in complaint letters, give them 3 strikes,
then email the CEO and put Formal Complaint in the letter, every CEO has an email,
and then really really dump on them. The board looks at lists of Formal
Complaints and it influences their MONEY, so I’ve taught you something else as
well. Be polite, but know when to be a Bastard too, your life is too short to
be wasted by lazy ignorant badly trained people, Double Miaow.
I could
go on, but One Direction are taking me down the Trader, the pub in Old Forge
and Singing Anvil, they are celebrating their new joint venture, in car
washing. I’m going to teach them how to twerk as they wash cars. So to recap,
make a list, but be ready to change it. Don’t waste your time on time wasters,
remember Kennedy and 15 mins for a meeting is enough. This is what I want, XYZ,
and if they won’t do it walk away. Arguing the toss may make you pennies but in
the long run, you’ll just get wrinkles, have you noticed I have no wrinkles, because
I am penniless and don’t chase money. Ok, it’s because I fat, I won’t lie, I am
heavier than Tyson Fury by the way, and 10 inches shorter. That’s why he never
argues with me, he’s too busy having kids, so God Bless him anyway.
So
everyday follow your list, and as you soak in the bath, look at your
accomplishments, and if you have a big enough bath, let your partner look at your
accomplishments, as you follow your true One Direction. You and I.
