A Quarter of a Century in Style

Well I knocked down a quarter of a century the other day and it couldn't have felt better. Who would have ever thought I would make it this far? I spent the whole day traveling and received quite a sunburn as a gift. That night we had some pizza made with cheddar cheese, quite disgusting! I don't suggest anyone try it. The following day I arrived home from my News Years vacation and three friends and I celebrated my big day with a large stack of M&M, banana pancakes covered in homemade, mango syrup.



Patrick and I are naturally sporting the hats of the general.




Many of you skeptics of my diet would be happy to know that despite my vegetarianism I have taken up the hobby of killing random wildlife of Africa in lieu eating meat. My original preference was for spiders and the bigger the better. I would like to think that I have caught some big ones. But I can't help but admit defeat after Patrick nailed this doosey of a tarantula on New Years Day. He came down on this one with a nice jolly shout.



In recent developments I have taken to killing rats. Some of you may know that on at least one occasion a rat entered my mosquito net while I was sleeping. After staying up all night while three rats fought over the rights to my house I finally trapped one in a pot and smashed the hell out of it. Good fun really! Since then no rats have returned and I think the word is out.

Finally, I really upped the anti by achieving forty kills in one sitting. These unfortunate souls were worms which I pulled out of the skin of my six-week old puppy.


Turns out she had worms and as opposed to just sitting around and hoping that they would go away I should do something about it. Oh, the joys of learning from experience instead of books. Well, couldn't be happier and I am excited to begin work in roughly two weeks. It will feel good to finally do what I am here to do.
