Let's do BLOOD!!!

Thought that would get your attention -(oops! the dizzy spell's on me again....)
I became a blood donor today and the sight of the slightly fat needle being stuck into my arm all but made me cringe... (I'm a man after all, you know!)

I could feel my vital life force leave me in subdividons of a pint (who ever invented that measurement unit was asking for trouble).

A scenario goes:

A guy walks into a bar and says to the waiter: Give me a pint.
Waiter goes: A pint of what?
Guy says: Just a pint.
By this time, waiter is at his teeters end and so out of frustration goes: A pint of piss, Blood, Vinegar etc...

Anyway, the whole exercise take like what, ten to fifteen minutes and they got one pint of blood and a lad whose lost half of his life juices...

I stay seated for five minutes and wonder if I'll ever see my mother again (of course, i will!)
In conclusion - I'm staggering out of the place with my aunty in tow and I'm happy they didn't ask for more...

The moral - give, give and keep giving...

Monday - the part of the week that challenges inertia - some people hate it so much and wish it was tuesday already, so that they can look forward to the weekend all over again...

I'm happy it's here and I'm even happier that it's almost over...
Till I can be with you in words - be good, play safe and all that...

ciao
