I hope you won't be nice to me.
I don't know about you, but I hate this term 'nice', especially when it's used to describe people.
It's a confession that you don't know what else to say about a person. It's a word you can use to describe anyone, from the shop attendant to the people on duty in the chopping of passports. It's a one-size-fits-all term. You can have a brief meeting with a person, and go off thinking and describing him as 'nice'. When we use the word 'nice' to describe our friends, are we saying that we know them as much as we know the other people we've used the word 'nice' for, which is to say, not much? If I say 'You're nice', am I just saying I don't know you well enough to use a term that's less generic?
It's also the most horrible reason behind actions. It has irked me for ages, because people who are 'being nice' normally have this perspective that they are actually doing a favour to the people whom they are being nice to. It's the most skull-numbing thing. I know there's a term 'Numbskull' used to describe people as stupid, but this one is entirely different.
Have you ever felt so much anger you can't really think properly, your mind blanked out for a few seconds, and the feel of an invisible hand squeezing your brains (though it's impossible for the brain to feel a hand groping it, and you've never felt a hand on your brain before anyway)? It normally happens in a situation where you're holding back every impulse to wallop the person immediately in front of you, and your brain gets numb because you're holding back so much it got tired.
I get that feeling often, and consequently I have to rearrange my face to not show any signs of anger because that is detrimental to my zen image. Let's take a look at such an occurrence of Skull Numbing for an imaginary situation for a poor dude:
Victim: Why did you choose to become a friend of mine?
Victimizer: I was being nice.
Doesn't that mean the victimizer never really intended to become a friend of the victim, but chose to because the victimizer wanted to do the victim a 'favour'? So does this mean the victim now owes the victimizer a favour for the friendship which would otherwise not be forged? Isn't it a very condescending way to treat the victim, because it means the victimizer chose to be the victim's friend because he/she probably pities him/her, and so by being nice, he/she is lighting up the victim's life? If that's not a terrible way to treat people I don't know what's not.
I remember in primary school, BW read a book and a definition of 'Nice' in Old English is 'young and ignorant'.
Maybe the definition didn't change that much after all.
I really don't like nice people. They have a way of making you feel bad, because you don't know if they are doing it out of their own free will or because they want to be nice to you. I cannot stand it when people go out of their way to help me, because I don't believe that humans can be that pleasant. It's scary, really, because you don't know if they enjoy rendering you help or not. And there is no way to find out. I tend to not want to be close to people who are overtly nice. It's not humane at all!!!111!!!
A lot of people don't think that I watch football. How can I not? Everyone must've watched a bit of football, especially in the 2002 World Cup because it's in our timezone and much hyped up. It may come as a silly confession, but I had the hots for Oliver Kahn, Germany's goalkeeper. He looked so ferocious when shouting commands to his defenders and teammates in general, and he only let in 3 goals throughout the whole course of that year's World Cup (1 to Robbie Keane, Ireland, another 2 to Brazil). I remember the next day was a Monday, and it was raining and I made a mental comment of 'Heavens weeping for Germany'.
Oliver Kahn was subsequently labelled the world's ugliest footballer, but I still stick by my choice <3
I remember Germany being a very boring team to watch at that time. They were playing defensive, and defensive, and defensive.
In the 2006 World Cup, Oliver Kahn was taken off the team and replaced with Lehmann or something, can't remember how to spell his name but I remember his curly hair, much like PCK's. He did get to make an appearance on their match for 3rd placing against Portugal, and again he was shouting like crazy <3>
I was watching the Germany vs. Ghana match this morning. It was a crazy match with the Ghana people always running damn fast. Seriously they ran damn fast, chasing the ball like their balls depended on it. They came so close to scoring and despite it being like 3AM I couldn't help but groan in mounting sexual excitement, I mean, uhhh, anxiety. An exciting match though it's only 1-0, with 1 being Germany of course <3
Now Germany will be fighting England in the knockout stages, and of course I'd be hoping that Germany wins. But I won't go so far as to say that I 'support' them, because I don't contribute to their goals/wins/losses. I'd just say that I hope Germany wins.
Actually, the reason why I'm writing about football is because of an interesting encounter my sis had with a kid. She's working at some tuition centre as a saikhang warrior, and she was wearing the Germany jersey. The black colour one, I think it's the away team one, and there's this P6 dude who keep wearing different football jerseys. I heard that he's fat and rich, because you generally have to be very rich to have jerseys of different football clubs and countries. My sis went into the class to take attendance, which basically means counting the number of kids and making a quick exit thereafter, which she did. After leaving the classroom, she heard a lot of laughters from within the classroom, but she didn't think too much about it.
Then the teacher, who is also her boss, came out to tell her that the fat-boy-with-many-jerseys was sniggering away at my sis, and when asked why, he said 'She wearing loser team jersey'. The principal then pointed out that she was wearing the German jersey, and not French, and the whole class roared in laughter at that boy for his gaffe.
The boy later said 'I will wear the England jersey tomorrow. I support England.'
The England vs Germany match is on Sunday, 10PM.
What a provocative boy.
