2011 resolutions. Add something!

So the year's almost reached it's end. With less than two months to go. Pretty soon, it'll be late December and you'll be making resolutions about what you want to change about your life. Where you wanna go, what you wanna do, who you wanna be doing it with, how many times, how often, blah blah blah.... You know the drill. I'm sure you've done that many times before.

Some people actually make it a point to accomplish these "goals" and others just don't care. Some make them as they go along, and again... others just don't care.


That's fine. But before we continue... I would like to turn your attention to this guy...

He clearly falls into that category of "others just don't care". That's fine. But I for one think he should. Not for the sake of being like everybody else and making false promises and whatnot. But for the simple fact that the quality of his daily washing exerience might improve by just 1 more percentage point.


That's all I wish for him, that his life may be one percent better than it already is.

I understand that not everyone can afford facewash, or shampoo, or whatever. Maybe he's allergic. Maybe he lost his job. Maybe he really, honestly and truly... just doesn't care.

Here's the thing, I stumbled upon this picture in one of my Twitter friends' YFrog accounts. The person in the picture is not the friend. But I guess she also found the pic on the internet and had to share it... at least for the LOLz. That's fine, I have nothing against that. I do that too to be honest.

So I RT'd the picture asking my contacts what they thought of the picture. And followers being followers, no one bothered to reply



So I sent the picture again the next day. Still no opinion. What can you do??? Nothing. Unless if you have a blog, then you blog it!

And here we are.

I don't have anything against peoples' hygiene choices, but sometimes you just have to be accommodative to others. If I don't like body spray, does that mean everyone around me has to pay the price? No. So if I really care, I'll obviously try and use something to kill the odour, right? Right.

That's the least I'm expecting from other people - consideration for others. That's all really.

Now... If this guy has a girlfriend, or boyfriend or whatever really... doesn't he care that his lips taste of soap and or sweat? I'ma have to take you guys waaay back for this one... You know how back in high school you don't really care who thinks what... Until you get a girlfriend. Yeah, that happend.

I had this girlfriend who used to used to wash his face and lips (yes, lips) all in one go. Needless to say, this wasn't a very pleasant experience for me because I'd be tasting the soap all the way throughout the kissing. (Don't look at me like you never used to steal kisses at the back of the classrooms during breaks - I see you!)

So now, at some point when I had summoned enough courage, I politely told her not to wash her lips. They don't really need the dedicated washing. This is before I ever knew what facewash was, so we didn't address the washing of the whole face; never mind the neck!

Anywho, that's that.

Back to the topic at hand. And I'll just say this one thing: I really hope this guy realises the err of his ways and invests in some shower time options, for the year 2011 and beyond. He should consider adding the following to his list of resolutinos, if he hasn't already:

Basic stuff like shampoo - developed specifically for the head/scalp. NOT one of those shampoo/body wash combos. Those kill the cause. We're trying to help this guy out here.

Second on the list, should be a facewash. Any facewash will do really. He can start being picky once he's acquainted his face and neck with the idea of getting washed separately from the rest of his body.

That's about it. Just two simple things.

One more thing he might wanna consider is a girlfriend. Or a sex partner or something along those lines. This is not to improve on his sex-life or whatever. This is basicaly so that he has someone to - 1. Tell him what he's doing wrong. 2. Take pictures of/with him in the shower. Obvisoulsy that's a selfpic, but we won't go there!

OK, that's all now. Seriously.
