Teddy Bear of Destruction

It’s easy to make an argument when you have the facts and you’ve done your research, unless you’re arguing with my roommate Himal. You can’t win an argument with Himal by using useless things like “logic” or “reasoning.” He’s the perfect example of someone who can make a logic-less argument. Allow me to go in to this further, it’s not like you’re going anywhere anyway. Himal’s tactics for arguing are to repeat the same point over and over again, getting louder and louder, until you have no choice except to end the argument before he picks up the nearest blunt object and starts swinging. Never in my life have I seen someone with such a disregard for another person’s opinion. Something as simple as putting beer in the refrigerator could set him off into a frenzy of threats on your life. Who knew that wanting cold beer to be there for you after a long day at work would lead to a Himal-anger-eruption. Yes, it’s like a volcano. There’s the initial blast, where he expresses his rage through words, and as you try to explain that cold beer tastes better than warm beer, he gets louder, starts to cut you off, and smothers you with mindless rants.

“Himal..”

“NO, THERE’S NO ROOM IN HERE, WHAT IF I WANT TO BUY SOMETHING AND PUT IT IN HERE.”

“But, the beer..”

“WHAT IF I BUY SOMETHING TOMORROW THERE WILL BE NO ROOM”

“We just went to the store”

“YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND”

“I don’t.”

“YOU’RE STUPID”

“The fridge is full because we just went to the store and I like my beer cold so I put it in the fridge”

“I CAN’T EVEN TALK TO YOU RIGHT NOW”

I can’t remember the entire conversation that we had that night, but that’s pretty much the “not in any way biased because I’m writing this” point of view. Just ask my other roommate, Pat. He’ll attest to the raging-Himal. We could even pull Kyle in and talk about other occurrences. My teddy-bear-like roommate has a dark evil inside of him. I have not yet figured out what triggers the release of this evil, but it’s a dangerous event every time it happens.

Originally we concluded (through extensive research) that these “occurrences” were directly related the amount of alcohol the Teddy-Bear-Himal consumed, but new facts have surfaced that conflict with that conclusion, leading me personally to believe that Himal is slowly losing control of himself. The evil is slowly consuming him as it finds new ways to escape. Soon, we may lose our Teddy Bear and end up with a broken bottle wielding madman.

Don’t think that the necessary precautions haven’t already been taken. We (the research team) are on high alert for the next “occurrence” and will have a written report detailing the events of this future outburst. Meanwhile we will work on a way to contain the situation; all of our lives depend on it.
