Things to do
1)book hotel between Paris and Disneyworld
2)rent a car to go somewhere nice this weekend…
3)possibly buy a car? Got into a clients Minicoupe two weeks ago. Breaking any independence issues there, but she said no to the free car-free audit approach.
4) Save some money in order to contribute 10 pounds a month to a house that my brother might possibly buy.
5) Fill up the clients fridge with my groceries. Todays meal involved pitta bread and humous (in love with the sluggish stuff), and stick a few cucumbers and tomatoes and hey, you have yourself an Istandwich! How funny am I ?
Thankyou fellow work colleagues for your words of encouragement. The main comment I get, is “amit, your blog is very amusing”. Now is that amusing in the term of , “it takes me away to another land, far away from the laptop and desk of half eaten apples and cold canteen wanter”, or amusing as in “look at Newcastle TRY and get a place into Europe this season!”
HEADLINE NEWS!!! Should have mentioned this earlier.One of my best mates in Japan has decided to tie the knot with who has also become a good friend. I remember the first time I saw the northern monkey, as he tried to seduce a girl away from my radar. I thought, hes a bit old to be teaching isn’t he? Shouldn’t he be working at some finance office? However during the past two years of living in Japan together, iv found out that maybe im the older one. Taking the path less travelled by, I emailed him, after he called me to say calmly he is getting married. I havnt anything else but admiration for those that are brave enough to go out there and get what they want. He has done well!
Maybe there is hope for us yet in London especially when days spent commuting through Bank station. Why does this station, out of all the other depressing stations, remind me of sheep to the slaughter, zombies, or even more depressing, humans without a real sense of life. You become familiar with your surroundings, accept the fact that life is THIS and that there is no choice, and then you trudge along the belt, heads down, metro newspaper in your arm, trying to escape the monotonous noise of high heels and coughs with your Jack Johnson music.
I know im not alone in this common “breaking away from the norm” ideal, but do I think about this as often as other people do? Probably not. Where as I might not be able to quote and hide behind the words of great philosophers and poets who have influenced our way of individual thinking, I at least attempt to show a more simplistic (my middle name – simple!) view.
So, as I always start of in a positive manner, and end up the murky deep end, I think its time to swim back to the shallow and brighter side. When one of your best friends , who I know reads and gives his true honest opinion to the creation of amitosensei, surprises you with this wonderful news, it actually makes you shake. This might be a paper document, but it means vowing to TRY and spend the rest of your life with each other. I hope I can make it for the wedding, and I hope its like it should be, on a beach with a nice breeze, and a small open bar in the back round, or on top of a mountain where they once hiked up together…guys? Yufuin by any chance?
These things are only dreams right now for most of us, and definetly me. However with a bit of patience, I might see myself with a girl in my arms , on a beach, reading bits of my vows which I will no doubt blog for all the world to see!...and Mr Northern Monkey (not allowed to name)…I expect you and your family to be there…
