I Got Something On My Head.

Uploaded by Bergen

UNLESS YOU ARE BORN TO BE KING you'd better think at least twenty five times before you wanna put something like that on your head and start walking around like a wise guy, feeling like a million buck, smiling like a fish about to be fried in a wok of boiling palm oil.

THERE'S NO POINT HIDING THE FACT from you but you should know by now that I was a king one time in my life. As a matter of fact my good-for-nothing subjects used to call me by my proper given name and that would be Bergen Your Highness. I was Your Highness this and Your Highness that all the time, 24 hours a day. But me being a free-spirited guy at heart didn't take that kinda treatment too good and so one night I jumped out the window of a big palace where I stayed to join a circus as a lion tamer. Oh yes, I had a colorful life from the time I was born. From king to lion tamer. Have you ever come across someone like that in your life? Probably not in your life time but here you are, reading about it right off your computer screen, probably thinking to yourself, is this guy for real?

OH YES. I am as real as the black guy who is now the president of the United States of America.

SO INSTEAD OF THAT KINDA HEADGEAR, I put on something more comfortable like a nice and fashionable (and practical) Australian bush hat. Sometimes I put on a cap to look like Magnum P.I. And when I go riding, I put on a helmet to keep my head safe in case of a fall. When it's time to go to the mosque, I put on a Tok Guru ketayap. When I 'm out on the field or a rig to install the valves or gaskets, my client would want me to put on a safety helmet. It makes me look good since the hat goes very well with the boiler suit that comes in several colors such as red and orange. I'm not sure if the headgear in the picture above is suitable anywhere outside a palace. It can only be worn inside a palace where you don't get to feel the fresh air in your face, or the misty salt water in your ears. You also don't get to smell the diesel and grime when you put on something like that on your head. As a matter of fact a headgear like that can do things to your head that make you behave funny. If you remember, Ayoh Pin used to put on something like that on his head and it got him to believe that he is god.

IT MAY BE JUST A PIECE OF CLOTH wrapped into a coil that you put on your head. It may weigh about a quarter of a pound but it does carry a heavy weight if you get to wear it in your life time because you don't get that job by answering the recruitment ad in the newspaper. You get that job because it's your birth right. You may feel lucky and privileged to have the job, here on this earth, that is. But in the hereafter, that same headgear may be a huge mountain that you may have to carry around on your head as a form of punishment if you don't do your job well.
