A bull with too many horns is called..... A HORNY BULL.
You know, it's a bit of a trouble when “Lousy” becomes your favorite word. Somehow, it severely impedes your vocabulary, specially when you can use so many other less unpleasant words instead of “Lousy” to describe anything that is not particularly of good taste. But can the use of a less unpleasant adjective make the subject of our description more pleasant? The object sounds definitely less lousy when you describe it using a word less lousier than the word “Lousy”. But somehow, it all doesn't add up. Whatever word one replaced with “lousy” for your erstwhile description, might not alleviate the poor object of ts poverty entirely. It might feel a bit less lousy. But at the end of the day, what the eyes behold is something just a tad-bit less lousy than what it orignally was. Or maybe it is still as lousy as it was in the beginning. Just you are trying to compensate its lousiness with a fancier, a little less hideous word just to make yourself feel better about your plight of having to see, hear, taste or experience the lousy thing. Wow! That's a lot of LOUSY!
Now, despite a bit of an apparent disconnect, comes the phrase "I shall show you!", a remark often blurted in the heat of the moment, in a mostly futile attempt to redeem one's image that has often taken a good amount of beating. Another one is "Show them what you got!". Again, a despondent attempt by patrons to perk up the player. Then you have "Show me what you got!". Is that a taunt or what?
By the way, I just learned something about this "Show me what you got!" phrase. Use it with a bit of restraint with women. You never know when the female lets her imagination loose and wonders if you're asking her to send you a photo of her boobies, when in fact, you were instigating her to put up a good fight. Women, I tell you. How naive, how beautiful. And maybe, just maybe, the lady might just oblige you with the best view of your life. Why did I not think of that before?
I know not what is at the focus of all of this is the amount of "showing" that we engage ourselves in. Too much on display. Too much addition to the already psychedelic onslaught on the senses. There's so much to see that cannot be covered in a single life time. Not to mention all the soapy TV 'shows' and all their reality. Let's leave that one for the toothless oldies.
On the other hand, see! So much to experience with the five senses, unless of course you are Spider-man with the extra "spidey" sense. Rarely does anyone say "Let me show you how", with an intention of actually educating someone, except for something like say "How It's Made". Actually, there are many places that shall show us how things are done. And then, there come the things that you cannot be taught. You have got to do them by yourself without the help of any guidebooks. No one can help you with these things.There are books on them, that pose as instruction manuals. But they eventually veer off into unnecessary philosophy, that add up to nothing more than bungled words. Maybe a bit like what I write right now. Maybe not. Who knows?
At some point, even seeing seems to become redundant. Those things that one may regard novel at one time, may fade away into another banal thing one has to see through. That could be because of a loss of curiosity. And that sucks! Specially when we are in a world which can be a boon for the curious, and also kill our curiosity with deadly efficiency. That said, just because Google can give the answer to "How to get pregnant", doesn't mean it can answer every question. Now, for the sake of heaven, please do not go and type "How to get pregnant" in the Google search-box, just to ratify my erstwhile claim about Google. By the way, "Google" spelled "google" shows a spelling error. How full of itself is Google? Eh?
So as Steve Jobs said, "Stay hungry, Stay Foolish." Also, stay curious, and furious. And also stay horny. Damn!
