i decide to be an intellectual (pretensions and all)

Sarkozy may frown, but i am about to gladden many a french heart, if not their eyes, by deciding to turn intellectual. why? because it is the second most lazy thing to do apart from laziness itself. which suits me fine, as i definitely do not dislike lazy people, and if they are intellectually lazy then i do not detest them even more. we need thinkers who can sit in an armchair, or in my case, a bean bag, and pontificate on the best vaccine cure for the deadly HIV, or on the pleasures of being an autorickshaw driver, especially one who refuses long, traffic-stopper trips to the hinterland. so, here's to a remainder life of intellectual vigour and supine reflection, and oh! maybe a bad back!
