The World According to... Boring John

If you should go to the woods tonight... Or rather, if you should go to Agent Bhangra's place on MySpace tonight - y'know for a rayt good physical workout (of bhangra aerobics)! If you should do that, you will find this lovely, quaint saying there:

"Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals."

Ooh, we wonder what harm that wicked love doth do to one so fair and sweet as Agent B. (We wonder why I doth come over all poetic too.)

But, Lady B, did the Buddha really say that? Are you sure that it wasn't some other geyser called Sir John Denham. He seems much more your type of guy, no? A sir and all.

Okay, okay so it was Siddharta Buddha - Sir JD must have said it later. (Bloddy Johnny Come-Latelys - who needs em!) So, do you and ol' Siddy B. have a thing going on then, eh, Agent Bhangra? Did he seduce you with his fine words, did he? Tch, you so easy, girl!

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace."

Oooh, he is a smooth one indeed. I bet his actions speak louder than words, too, if you know what I'm getting at. Heh heh!

You wish!

Actually, you should be careful what you wish for, Agent Bhangra, covered as you are with your permagrin and lycra, cos the Buddha, he say this too:

"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world."

With my thoughts I make my world, that's for sure: the world according to Boring John. And in my world I know that you fancy him rotten, I know it. Don't deny it, hon., just don't! We all know that you're pretending to be disinterested, but you're loved up for 'im good and proper, I know. Oh baby!

Remember, "Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. "

Oh, oh, here comes the bhangra beat!

Oh, oh, here comes the snarl!

Oh, oh, here comes the hand, ready to be clenched!

All right, on second thoughts, you can deny it all you want. I've 'eard about that tongue of yours, and that snarl, and maybe the Buddha has too - eep!

"The tongue like a sharp knife... Kills without drawing blood."

You can't argue with that.

Yep, that Buddha gets around a bit, knows a thing or two. He does a lot of thinking; a lot of thinking about ideas...

"An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea."

I likes that one in particular, I do.

And this:

"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting."

Oh yes.

(Do you think that's what Elvis meant to say in his latest no.1 hit ?)

And this one is schweet, too:

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

(What are you doin' this moment, hunny bun, right this moment? Ya smilin'? Ah, schweet!)

But then he says:

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."

So what are we all to think, huh, what are we all to feel?

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."

Oh no, no! Not the hot coals routine, again. You and yer bloody coals, Mr Sid Carter; always with the hot coals. Ya had to go and spoil things with yer 'grasping a hot coal' spiel. (Tch! That bloody know-it-all Buddah - enough already!)

As for you, AB, you so spoilt you really are. You get a whole page of words from me and the buddha. What more could a girl ask for, eh? What more, indeed...

Perhaps you would like to comment.

In yer own good time, of course, in yer own good time.
