Being Human

No, I am not talking about the absolutely amazing television programme that has left me lost in it's absence. No, I am not lost in it's absence due to the loss of my weekly viewing of the lovable, huggable vampire, Mitchell (for your information, George's a sweetheart and Annie is erm, cute?)... No, I am talking about being human as in, being what we are, humans. There is no way of simplifying that phrase and yes, I used No as a sentence starter three times. Why? Because I am hardcore (and three is the magic number).

So firstly, lets name one pro and one con of being a humanbeing. Actually, scratch that, lets think of THREE pros and THREE cons of being of this particular species.

PROS :

• We are aware of ourselves and our intelligence.
• Our bodies are so adapting, that they have managed to survive in almost every environment on Earth.
• The ability for us to enjoy many parts of being a part of this Earth without too much negative downside. We're very lucky to have an uncomplicated, adaptable form. (Elly's example downfall for another species was this: all male cat species have a spiked penis which makes sex incredibly painful.)

CONS :

• Our primitive reptilian brains still regardless of our intelligence, yield a lot of influence over our actions. Things like, Anger, Lust, Greed and other impulses are still very strong in us.
• We are very much like a virus on the earth. Our overpopulation and success will and has been, our downfall.
• Our separatism. Our needs to compartmentalise each other in class, race and every other label persists to be the biggest obstacle for our future well being as a race.

These were ALL given to me by the absolutely AMAZING Elly =) I'm too thick to think them up on my own!

So now that that's out of the way, I have two things to say:

Firstly, hallelujah, praise the Lord, Coleen has FINALLY left Dancing on Ice! If she's stayed in for the final, then the whole thing would've been a joke. I'm so happy Donal got through but meh... Ray all the way like...

Secondly, my Gran is in hospital... She fell off the bed and broke her hip and the dozy old Alzheimer's ridden lady that she is, probably won't walk ever again. This I'm not too bothered about, but my GrandPapi is like, the best thing I can think of. He's like my Dad, my Chauffeur and everything else wrapped in one. So Gran being his wife, this is going to well upset him... No joke about it like.
