bottlecap dependency.

earlier this morning, i battled a listerine bottlecap. it took me about 5 minutes to negotiate the cap. i twisted, pulled and plunged until i gave up. upon closer examination, i noticed that the top of the bottlecap had a small graphic that perfectly explained how to open the bottle, (ie) squeezing the bottlecap and turning it counter-clockwise. brilliance.

we live our lives in search of independence with a desire to leave a mark of our own making. some of us are stubborn enough not to accept help in the name of pride. yet there're some of us who never notice that help is on the way, or already there, (literally) right under our noses...like me. i suppose that it wouldn't be a bad idea to submit to the idea that we're not all-powerful. help is indeed on the way for all of us if we'd let it in once in a while. and it'd be nice to sit up and take notice.

sometimes you can't make it on your own.

always wanted to say that.

(note: it's not like i dislike mouthwash...it's just that i've never really used as often as i should. this morning, my father whipped out 2 bottles that he'd kept in storage. in my defence, i've never used listerine...i'm more of a plax guy.)
