Two years ago my really annoying cousin Enzo who would always flick me in the side of the head like he was some creepy five year old got lime disease. Basically what happened is that a blood sucking tick decided to attach itself to his body and have a field day (WHAT NOW ENZO!)
Where was I going with this?
oh yes.
Ticks. I was thinking about it and ticks are pretty greedy little bastards. They attach themselves onto someone totally without their permission and in complete violation of that person's personal space rights. To add insult to injury that take drop after drop of life-nuturing blood without any thought of the possibilities or realities of that dreaded disease that they carry. They bury their little heads under their unwilling hosts skin so that they are surrounded by the feast of blood that they have been looking for. Instead of stopping when they are full, ticks keep going and going and going until they are completely gorged and even then, will go and find someone else to attach themselves onto later.
Ticks are greedy. Ticks are greed. If i were to make a thesauras that used only pictures instead of words I would place a picture of a tick next to the word greed. Only greed can motivate a person to burden someone else with their desires, cause them to be able to focus only on their wants like the way the tick does when it buries its head under someone's skin. Only greed makes you keep going when you've had enough and even then keeps you on the hunt for more.
