Oh BOogers

When people get to know me, they realize how incredibly lazy I am. I try to forestall taking a shower if I have other things on my mind, but in all honesty, I love showering. I love being under the spray of water and having nothing to think about except what is at hand. I love feeling like I'm wiping every speck of dirt away. Occasionally, I even believe that water has mystic powers, it can take so many forms and has so holds within itself so many possibilities.

For me, bathing is a personal ritual, a cleansing of the body and of the day's thoughts. I don't find that sexual, so I never understood why couples thought having sex in the shower is erotic.

Showering, in my mind at the very least, is a respected ritual for in some Asian cultures, whether it be historical or not. Families would help bathe and wash each other's backs.

I feel defeated not the sense I've tried and lost but in the sense that i don't care anymore, that I have accepted my helpless state.

I know this is like giving up and I still refuse to, yet what else can I do.

Destiny can be twisted only so much.
