Suprisingly, I woke up real early (6 pm on the dot). Did the usual yoga, push ups, sit-ups, coffee and cigarettes. Will be going to work in a bit. I am part of the capitalist machine now - a (really) small cog in the megastructure but an important one (so I would like to believe). Am I thrilled to be part of the whole thing? Not really. It's a job. I'm good at what I do. It pays the bills. I guess after six months, I need to establish a sense of "normality" in my public life. No more sleeping in the street (though I'm really gonna miss it). No more wearing 3 day old boxers. What I am really going to miss tho is running everyday, which used to be the highlight of my unemployed days. I'm still gonna make it a point to run.
On a sad note before I go and try my best to be the employee of the month, I would like to appeal to any person who would be reading this blog. Haiti has been on my mind for the past few days now. I am usually cynical about the world, but when it comes to natural disasters that affect the lives of millions and millions of people, my heart sorta melts and flutters or whatever. I'm not saying you guys give money to the relief operations (it's yer call not mine). But if you do have money to spare - please try doing it. If yer religious or spiritual, please pray for the victims and the thousands upon thousands of families without homes. If yer a yuppie liberal, then friggen donate something or you can tell yer rich folk friends to try helping out a little. If yer dirt poor but have an internet connection like me, blog about it. The more people who will know about the situation, the more they will get that much needed aid.
A wiseass once told me that what really matters in the end is not one's convictions, but one's action to rise when the call to rise comes challenging his ass.
