Manic Monday

OK this post will largely be incoherent as I’m going to just ramble on about a few thoughts that have been running through my head all day in absolutely no particular order.

First Thought: I hate Mondays. I despise them, especially when thing’s go wrong.

Monday’s are generally bad and when they teach you lesson’s that are long overdue, they get worse. To top it off, I ended the day by telling a colleague to enjoy his weekend. I am now going to spend the next four day’s thinking everyday is a Friday.

As for the lesson learnt?

Pay your electricity bills on time, or the evil corporation supplying you with electricity will cut it.

I guess it could have been worse. Could have happened on a Saturday or Sunday!?!

By the way, today was the first time I realised what my Mom must have felt like back in the day’s when she was broke and scrounging for cash while trying to raise my brother and myself. It was not a great feeling. Today’s decisions are: Would you like food or would you prefer electricity?

The second lesson I’ve learnt today is to better manage my cash flow to avoid such situations.

Second Thought: I have some really questionable friends. My friends are the kind of people that will come through for me by lending me a fair amount of cash with no questions asked in times of crisis.

However, these same friends will then go about making fun of me and my Kryptonite. So much so, that they will actually initiate what they call an “Eldar Council”, where they will determine if they will help rid me of my Kryptonite or not. I’m pretty sure they’ll spend the time smoking the same thing my sister is and then spend the next hour laughing at me.

The same friends also suggested I read “Puss in Boots”. I wasn’t sure if I should be laughing or crying.

Third Thought: One of my questionable friends asked me today to write about how most women always crave tons of attention.

I’m a little torn. I know women love attention, but then so do men. We all do stupid crazy things to get the attention we crave, and then when we don’t get it, we go and pout or update our blogs with incoherent posts.

However, I’d have to say that women are probably just a tad worse than men and unfortunately for this friend, the women he interacts with are the leaders of the cult I’ve named “Attention Seeking Birds” (Birds can be substituted with nastier words if you like). So obviously, his perception is a little skewed. However, I do feel sorry for him and anybody else that has to deal with said cult and leaders.

On the flip side, I am not sorry for certain people that insist on spending time with the leaders. What they need is more blood to circulate to their brain and away from their tiny members. You know who you are.

Fourth Thought: I was watching a couple of application videos on Youtube.com for “The World’s Best Job” and one of the video’s really struck a chord.

It was a video of this guy who spent a year travelling all around Africa and blogging about where ever he went. It occurred to me, that he probably has tons of stories to tell. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t suffer from Writers Block the way I am right now (Yes, I’m still suffering from it. Hence the Post on Random Thoughts!). It also helps that he now has the “The World’s Best Job”.

It really makes you think. I’m not saying my life sucks or his life is any better. What I do know is that when he’s older and looks back at how he spent his “youth”, he’s going to have a lot to remember.

When I grow older, I think I may be a little disappointed that all I have to remember are drunken nights (Not even drunken orgies!!) and Friday Night’s at the Man Cave (It’s really not as “Gay” as it sounds. If anything it’s a Manly Man thing).

Hmmm… Thank god for the Friday Nights. I think I should come up with a catchy name for it.

I’m thinking about making a pact with myself where I quit whatever job I’m doing on my 28th birthday and go travel for a year across one of the five populated continents.

Fifth and Final Thought: Barring a miracle. The Knick’s are going to suck for the next three years. This thought just got me really depressed. I mean really depressed. I’m tired of them being so bad (You can replace bad with nastier words). They worst part is they’ve been bad for so long, I can hardly remember the last time they were good and the losing is getting really old really fast.

I’m just happy I’ve always been a Kobe fan and right now it helps . Hope he doesn’t go and screw things up like he did in 2004.

So there you have it, that’s what I spent my Monday thinking about. I really need to come up with something interesting to post about. I’m starting to think the time may have come when I should pay people to give me ideas.

Yes, my post is named after a Bangles song. Nuff said.
