Today's word of the day is explicate \EK-spluh-kayt\,
transitive verb: To explain; to clear of difficulties or obscurity.

Humans are quite the greedy creatures, don't you think? Well, maybe greedy isn't quite the right word. It's more like, unsatisfied. No matter what we have, or own, there's always
something else we want to have. There's even an old quote I read once: "Thou shalt not covet for thy neighbour's iPod"... ok, so maybe it wasn't exactly worded like that. But you get the idea.
Maybe it's just a general rule of life or something. Fish swim. Birds fly. Humans desire.
Greed isn't a good thing, but I guess it isn't overly wrong to want a
few stuff. You know, since it's part of our nature and all. Even I would like to have a couple of things.
Some of these Things I want aren't much of a big deal. They're just, you know, normal stuff that other people might want. Books, a new handphone maybe, more time, flying (ya I wanna fly. I know you do too! Admit it!).
But then there are other wants, or desires or wishes, whichever, that I keep secret. And for a good reason! Until now, that is. That's right, you're gonna here all my old, secret wants (old! not anymore, ok!) first in my blog. From me. About me.
They're mostly weird. And embarassing. Here, I'll tell you some:
* I would love to be as strong or jump as high as the Hulk. Yes, him. I don't wanna be like Spiderman, I don't wanna be like Batman, I wanna be like that green Hulk dude.
* I used to want Pokemon of my own. Although it wasn't much of a secret back then.
* I used to want purple eyes...
*... or grey eyes ...
* ... or one purple, one grey eye (... ok, yuck).
* I once had a sudden desire to see the Teletubbies get drunk.
* I wanted to be on Oprah's show.
* I wanted a Disney Princesses colouring book.... I was 13 years old.
* I wanted to be a Cardcaptor. Like Sakura Kinomoto!!
* I wanted to see how Einstein looked with braids.
You know...
Stuff like that.
Dah, tu je! I can't tell you all; I have a reputation, you know.
