Fleming is making me Phlegmy.

I have recently had to go on antibiotics to sort out an issue with some wisdom teeth, that I do not need (I already consider myself wise, and don't want to pass over into the smart arse category which i'm told is what will happen if I acquire wisdom teeth.) However, I may have to accommodate this extra wisdom for the time being, and in the meantime be ailed with with discomfort that they incur. So, my dentist prescribed me some antibiotics, clearly a man with a sense of humour. The first dentist in the history of the world, to have one. Aren't I lucky.

I have a bone to pick with Alexander Fleming. A seriously disgruntled bone. 'He initially characterised some of its biological properties, but he did not pursue its further development.' Oh did he now? By the way - this is in regards to penicillin (I couldn't find many quotes about amoxicillin, which I am on, turns out it has not been widely discussed in popular culture and epic novels.) If 'Alexander', probably not even his real name, had pursued further development he would have inevitably come to the conclusion that antibiotics weaken the immune system. Which is why, I am sat in bed, with a raging cold, barking when I cough and feeling generally disgusting. Thanks.


I should point out that it is possible that I am ill due to returning home at 3o'clock in the morning, but there is no evidence to prove this. Antibiotics have been proven to weaken the immune system. ha. 'Alexander Phlegming.'

In recent days.

Whenever I am having a bad or a sad day and am at home, I try and sleep for a few hours to sleep it off. But i'm unsure whether it's better to waste your life sleeping, or to spend hours unable to do anything useful and just mope around. The good thing about sleeping, is that if your problems are resulting from tiredness then the chances are you'll feel better when you wake up, and things with be far less overwhelming. The downside of sleeping, is that you're at risk of prolonging your issue, because you're not around to deal with it.
Once again I say, the last thing left in the box, was hope.

Not a good day for the human race

The influence of both substances and extremism have resulted in both a mass murder and a loss of a great talent, more so the loss of great talent, along with the tragic news of Amy Winehouse's death comes the news of the shootings, and subsequent deaths of eighty five Norwegian youths. The trappings come lures of both substance abuse and fundamentalism (whatever they may be) have demonstrated their dangers today.

However, fundamentalism lures people everyday as do substances. Corruption is rife, it just happens that today is the day it has been reported. If you look at the human race as a whole, inclusive of famines, poverty, corruption, fundamentalism, addiction and violence - things which are present every day in so many people's lives, it is hard to call any day a good day for the human race. Admittedly it is impossible to report every graduation, birth, survival, triumph in the news as there are so many, however, when there are such awful occurrences happening in conjunction with the good it makes it hard to weigh up the events of one day, and declare it a good day for the world as a whole. In these troubled times, to avoid imminent defeatism, it would be best to weigh up your day as an individual, and not burden yourself with the doings of everyone else.

Considering all the time I spend looking in the mirror, I don't think can have been paying that much attention. For the past few years I have been convinced that I have an older looking face and not a baby face, however, it would seem I definitely have a baby face, huh.

Fans

I was watching a film earlier, and I never realised that skyscrapers have massive fans on the top of them. I just thought it would be really awful if you fell into one of them, and i'm glad they're at the top the those buildings, and not at street level because no one really wants to see them, or increase their chances of falling into one of them.
