The worst guest I have had in my home is myself; I have had that guest now for 15 years and I really do not know how to get rid of him.

It is really unbelievable. The bathroom tap has been dripping for 3 months and I have told myself time and time again to repair it and I come up with weak defenses, like “my hands hurt too much” and “what if I made things worse”.

The windows have not been cleaned for a year, and I seem to be expecting some big storm that will cleans them free of cost.

Worst of all is that I am a bad night guest. I have torn my bed sheet when I was convinced that I was doing my bed and you would expect me to be a good husband and replace the bed sheet, instead of which I just put a pillow on the tear (is it called a tear) and go to sleep.

The garden is in a mess, and I thought that by housing myself I would get it into some kind of order. Did I really expect that the plants would creep into the house by themselves not to be burned by the frost?

I have sawn some new grass, a huge surface which is really up to 2 square meters, and you would expect me to show some respect to me by watering it regularly instead of waiting for the rain to come (it did not come).

Well you would think that by having a manly house guest nearby at least the technical stuff would work. The computer does not have any line-in since 3 months and all complaints just generate a “but it is so easy to repair”.

As to the noodle heap behind the computer and the television I have only praise for the house guest, myself, as myself never touches the noodle heap thereby not causing major damages to the electrical system of the village.

But of course it is nice to have a house guest like myself when you have to keep a Website active. But that houseguest has messed up my pass words so much that I cannot even refresh the site and keep the World informed of the vital thoughts that I have had. The Hosting Company wrote to me to thank me for my relentless effort not to express myself anymore.

Now in spite of this guest being such a nuisance, I thought it would be a good idea to give him a pat on the back, so I turned round to give him that friendly pat on the back and he was gone. Well I thought, if he is so shy, lets do with my arm, twisting it in a elegant way like baboon do, and as a result I ended up in the Emergency Ward were things got complicated as they claimed that they did not provide medical care for baboons and wanted to send me to the veterinarian who consulted on the phone said n his experience baboons never recover and it would be better to lay me out of my misery.

As you seem to have a lot of experience maybe you would know how I could hint to myself that it would be better either that I become somebody else or host somebody else with my presence?
