Notes from my personal journal

Once in a while, not often and without pleasure, I open my personal notebook and publish pieces of raw brilliance. I have been told that many people reading entries from the published portions of my journal have experienced elation and sometimes weight reduction. So here I go again, sharing with readers my deepest personal thoughts, although some of them were recorded while on antibiotics.
 
A funny thing about betrayal is that you rarely pay any notice to it unless it happens to you.
 
My Greek friend, Domoni Niapolopolpolus, is always broke, so I don’t find it hard to believe that the entire nation of Greece is having money problems.
 
What do we truly know about outer space? Even though men have walked on the moon and probes have traveled beyond our own galaxy, can we say there is anything out there as good as Velcro?
 
I am getting used to the idea that sometimes I daydream about having a superhero costume but no super powers.
 
I love blondes; there's something about the color of their hair.
 
When a fly decides to land on my naked leg, I try and try but cannot understand why he doesn't stay there for long.
 
There are certain parts of a body that must be scratched when itchy, even in public. It took me years to realize that.
 
It's too bad I cannot see more lovely women showering.
 
When I awake before dawn I know that is the darkest it will get before the sun rises.
 
Studying a map of India was among the wisest things I ever decided to do. To think I was almost convinced that memorizing the names of the streets of Oslo would be more gratifying, no less, someone said, it would have been more educational. Sometimes you just get a feeling you should do something and it turns out to be entirely true.
 
The most recent adorable lady to come into my life proved to me that relationships must have an unexplained chemistry to them; you cannot maintain a relationship simply by using a set of Japanese knives.
 
A friend of mine is swearing that he speaks in tongues, so I took him to a specialist to prove that it was actually a mild case of Tourette Syndrome. But it turned out not to be that at all. It seems like he was speaking in tongues after all.
