When Shit Hits the Fan

Have you ever heard of this expression before? When shit hits the fan? I can't recall when or where I heard it, but I simply love it, maybe it's because I'm a graphical and disgusting person by nature.

Picture it. There's a fan on high speed, and there's a large ball of shit flying straight ahead at you, you duck, the piece of shit misses you, and it hits the fan! Tiny squirts of shit (it's probably soft shit - not the hard constipated type) storm through the room, they hit you in the face, all over your body, all over the walls (you wonder how such a small ball of shit ended up in this giant mess), it's in your eyes, ears, and hair, and it's just plain smelly and disgusting!

Now that there's shit all over you and all over the room, what are you going to do? Assuming you were dumb enough to let shit hit the fan, you have one of two things to do:

1) Be a chicken-shit, run away, take a long shower and never go in that room again
2) Do the responsible and mature thing and clean up the fucking shit you caused in the first place

There really isn't a third option... Think about it.

What's my point behind all this disgustingness? Don't wait for shit to hit the fan, and if you're an idiot and you wait, for god's sake DON'T DUCK! If the piece of shit already came flying at your face, then you probably caused it (because shit doesn't just come flying at your face). The room is your life. And the shit is some fuck-up that you caused. Own up to your shit! Because at the end of the day, it's your shit - nobody's elses, and as I always say: it's better to take your shit in your face than anybody else's, well I never actually said that before - it should be a proverb, it kind of has a nice ring to it, it's better to take your shit in your face than anybody else's.

Basma, as fare as i recall sherif uses even more than shit. He has like a never ending dictionary of shitty words that is full of shit.

But yet i still like the point behind this whole thing. but have another point of view. maybe it could be a motto. It is "Face your own shit, or turn off the fan"

and the outcomes are really nice
1. you're clean
2. your room (life) is cleam too
3. the fan got screwed (to hell with it)

Point is, enjoy ur life and deal with ur problems in a cool way

Nag, you have a point, you are getting on my nerves again, but it's cool.
