I feel so extraordinary
something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty


After going to the gym, the week falls into a more balanced perspective. I can't really tell what I'm going to be like, how I'm going to survive the onslaught of mundane work and starch walls until the endorphines are pumping through me.

I spoke to someone in the locker room - a guy who works on my floor. I used to think that the day would never come, that my life would depend on the morning sun. No prizes for guessing that the sun has left England and won't be coming back until Spring (or when Big Brother hits our tvs again - I believe the Sun is now copyrighted.) I go 3 times a week to a place with bad pop music, old sweat in the air, shell-shocked students, and not a word comes out of my mouth. It's almost tantric.

But I feel extraordinary for doing the monkey jump every week, like I was born and raised in the office circus. In a world that's so demanding we fall into the cracks that won't hurt us too much... if you believe boredom doesn't hurt.

But you can wait until the weekend, you can watch Tarantino, you can walk through Richmond Park with your friends (because the biking expedition got cancelled) and watch the dears play out your notions of nature. They defecate on the grass, we applaud. You can eat in the Lettuce & Ketchup chain of pubs, get stuffed and roll to the nearest cinema. You can clash with your videogames and you can clash with your sundays when they give nothing back to you.

The box says 15:14 and I must get back to work.

I like working in an office because it's easy money with time galore to post on Live Journal. But the boredom and the repetition get old. I feel like I have no place to whine though, because so many other people have much worse jobs: miners, strippers, cashier’s at the ever-popular 7-11, and even executives that have so much stress and have to travel so much and hardly see their families…

But I still have to wonder if this is all there is? I know there's must be a life that is more fulfilling out there for me, and it sounds like for you too?

i think we need to open a business together. Preferably the kind where you and I can lie by the pool while beautiful semi-naked men carry phones on trays, bring us cocktail drinks, and occasionaly congratulate us on making another million.

:o)

YES, that's what I plan on...actually, Kari and I have been musing over a special event and wedding planning business. It sounds like fun...I'll keep you posted. (And damn it, I still have my novel to work on!)

i'm working on my damn novel too... maybe we could start a publishing house together, jet set around the world doing talks on television, sell the movie rights, go to parties with the A-list crowd...
Posted by [identity profile] myendeavorca.livejournal.com
Publishing house, eh? Sounds like fun too! I would like to sit around reading other people's work all day and then deciding if it was good enough to publish. I already have the perfect editor in mind...my college roomate. She's a very hip, fun, and sexy girl with the bad habit of correcting your grammar-mid sentence! Aww, gotta love english majors! LOL.

Parties...*nice*. I have first dibs on the yacht!
I also call first dibs on Oprah! You can have Mrs. Osbourne though. :P
Posted by [identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com
Yuck! Mrs. Osbourne has a show? Where's our world going to?
Posted by [identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com
depends what you'd like to do. Do you want to be serving us the drinks, or lying by the pool with us?

:o)
Posted by [identity profile] stinkacon.livejournal.com
Well, since I'm not a semi-naked beautiful man, I'll be lying next to ya'll by the pool!!

Posted by [identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com
ok... and what's your type of man? We are filling out the questionnaire.
Posted by [identity profile] stinkacon.livejournal.com
I prefer the beautiful naked type of man.

Yes, please. :)
Posted by [identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com
but what's a beautiful man to you? Like Danny Devito? Like Colin Farrel?
Posted by [identity profile] stinkacon.livejournal.com
Ah, I see. Um, I am tend to be more attracted to the boyish men. Cilliam Murphy (28 Days Later), Orlando Bloom, Tom Welling (Smallville). Oh, and Johnny Depp. Yum, they are all beautiful.
Posted by [identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com
Haha... i like your new icon.

yes, Cilliam, Orlando... good guys. ;o)

Posted by [identity profile] stinkacon.livejournal.com
Whoops, I meant Cillian. Man, he is beautiful.

I got a paid account now so I'm slowly adding some more icons. :)

That is a cool dorky idea!
