To the man who carries the world on his shoulders, silently

I wanted to write this because sometimes I feel like words aren't enough to describe what I see when I look at you. I am endlessly proud of the man you are. You are truly wonderful, but I also see the parts of you that you hide from the world.

I see how deeply you care, how you pour your energy into the people around you, often consuming yourself just to make sure everyone else is okay. You sacrifice so much, and I know that sometimes you tend to forget about the most important person in that equation: yourself.

But look at what you have achieved. Look at what you’ve built for yourself and how you handle everything life throws at you. It’s breathtaking. You are a man of unshakeable integrity. To say you have a 'good soul' is an understatement; your heart is rare, and it is a gift to everyone who knows you. Please, never forget to keep some of that kindness for yourself, too.
To the man who carries the world on his shoulders, silently:

I Love You to the moon and back and even more.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
