Mike is Flash

This blog has suddenly becoming series of introspective posts on what makes me tick. The last post used a page from a comic book to explain my impatience. And now the BBC reports on a study that claims grumpy people actually think more clearly.

This.

Explains.

So.

Much!

Let's break it down. Grumpy people....

• Are better at judging urban myths - I'm always the first to scold someone for sending some fake chain e-mail
• Make fewer mistakes - Everyday is a flawless victory for me
• Are better communicators - Um, let's stick to the written word and not spoken for this one

The list goes on, but the story stays same. Never shall I feel guilty and concerned when someone tells me I am in a bad mood. I will embrace. For it helps me maintain my mental superiority.

About the only point in the article I disagree with is the use of the term "Eeyore days". Eeyore is neither grumpy nor brilliant. He was a depressed, potentially suicidal stuffed donkey. If the author of the article was grumpy, perhaps he would have been thinking more clearly and would have selected a more relevant fictional character.
