FuckYeah Babylon 5

ask-gquan:

I believe the universe finds endless amusement in my existence.  I have been trying to get the male Tarlek fruit for days and it sat in the tree mocking me.  There had to be a way.  I was sure to figure it out.  Long ago my mother taught me to use my reason.   As much as I enjoy screaming and destroying something, I must not succumb.  If I do, I will still be right here with less than I had before. 

Yet it was not by reason I learned a way to remove the fruit from the tree.  It was pure rage.  A branch had broken, I had fallen from the tree and a rock had bruised my pride for the last time.  I grabbed the offending branch from the ground and started beating everything in sight.  I screamed and howled and probably made a complete fool of myself.  I started hitting my prized fruit.  And it fell from the tree.  I discovered that if I hit the fruit just right it fell from the tree like rain from the clouds.  

I fell to the ground and laughed, looking up to the most beautiful green sky Narn has ever seen.  This time, my dear mother, I had to lose my temper to find my way. 

Now that I knew the trick of the male fruit I was able to harvest it quickly.  I gathered my fruit in the Dorax reed baskets.  The time was too late to go to the village, but tomorrow I will take the fruit to the shrine and then on to the Mindwalker village.
