Stress and Laziness

Today has not been a very good day... Alot of work today... gotta do out a layout plan of a semi-D for tomorrow and i predict that it will be a loooooooooonngggg thursday. My fishy has yet to be sold. So far had 3 rejections on it... Sigh... Got a few more later... Hope it gets sold by tonight.

On the bright side... I DID get my phone back today... thank god! I hate Samsung and Motorola phones... They should go back to makin VCRs and pagers... Their handphones stink. I love my Nokia.

Hmmm.... I was talking to my friend about his kids... Makes me think about what kinda Dad i'll be... I mean what if my kids have my hyper genes? Hooooo boy... That would be an apocalyptical scenario. My parents would probably rollin on the floor with laughter and shouting, "Now YOU know what it was like!" And as i contemplate infantcide with my wife I would probably agree with them... Makes you wonder whether you should use the rod or not. Many kid specialists say you gotta do that "Love teaching" for your kid and spare the rod... But the way kids are goin these days, its kinda hard not to apply martial law on the little kids dontcha think? I've met the horrors of kids in Simei and i think personally I would do the same as my friend and apply the rod. Many would think, "Hey... thats not right... I dont think your parents did that to you so you shouldnt do that to your kids either. " Wrong... unlike what most people think i, I was a beaten kid... But the beatin stopped when i was 10 or so... My parents believed in givin me my freedom to do what i want. And in some ways it did good and others bad. I'm more independent than most others and used to doin my thing alone. But i get very individualistic at times... Some day i will look back at my kid and tell him/her what the world was like in my time and my kid will tell me what went wrong back then.. You'll be surprised at the age they learn to talk back nowadays... I've got a potential debating partner with my friend's 7year old daughter. And she's good... She can out talk some people much older than her. Talk about growin up fast... But this is all thinkin for some other time... WHEN i have a wife and WHEN i have kids then we shall think about fatherhood right... yea... Mr Procrastination lol...

Overwhelmed with laziness... I dun feel like doing anything. Juz stay here in my comfy chair and think about the weekend and of old times come and gone. I have very few photos of the last 8 years... I'm not a photo person i guess... I have a big bulky SLR in my closet but that aint been used for years. All my memories are in my mind. So they're easily erased if needed... Photos can be painful reminders of past memories. And they have a habit of appearin when you least expect them to. Like when you're all alone and the world is ending somehow a picture of you and your ex will pop out and bring tears to your eyes... How sentiments can oh so kill you... And Time is his main partner in crime... These two buggers will juz invade when you least expect and rob you of your heart. Pictures more often than other bring sadness rather than happiness to the viewer... Coz they remind you of a time that you can never return to and thats when Reality gives you a big bite on the rear... These stuff should be kept in the heart and mind... For you to remember when you want to. Not surprise you during a dark, lonely night.

Since when am I such a philsopher? Socrates, Plato and Dante... all people who I have no idea exactly what they did but do know that they were somewhat connected to philosophy. Which makes me think...  why does man need to ponder his life? Whats there to know? In the end you still go about it one day at a time not wondering what if you did that instead of that or should you covet thy neighbour's cow.... I still dont get this whole philosophy thing...  Someone please explain it to me! Before i bumble and get books on Socrates thrown at me...

Esplanade cancelled... a collective sense of relief and disappointment... Was scared i was gonna fumble there and well... disappointment about a certain personal matter...

Anyway... we shall leave these to the philosophers in future to ponder and debate. I live in the present. Carpe Diem baby!
