"como a veces soy tan bruto que s�lo pienso y me fijo en lo que tengo delante - creo compartir ese bruticie con la mayoria de mis semejantes, vaya eso en mi descargo" -

Any ideas on how to translate this sentence from an article in a Spanish Newspaper? My rather clumsy effort would be:

As i am on occasions so pig-headed, i only think and pay attention to the here and now - i rekon i share that brutishness with most men, well thats my defence anyway..

Cualquier sugerencias?

abrazos

I like your suggestion...Let me give another option for the first part, "I�m such a dumb head I can�t see further than my own nose most of the time..."

Hi SD, here is my proposal !!!

Some times I am so close-minded, that I can�t see beyond my nose. I believe I share this weakness with most human beings ... that makes me feel better !!!! (or that�s my relief )

Regards

Hebe
