my bott-on

Nature didn’t tell me “be poor” , Nor indeed “be rich”. But she does beg me “be Independent!”
Chamfort “Maxims” (1795)
Status Anxiety
“Alain de Botton”

This, as you might recall is the same author who also wrote the “Art of Travel”. Think what you may, but he is fast becoming one of my favourite authors concerning “Me against the system” style writing. It doesn’t help, when every day you are involved in a constant fight between yourself as an independent person and one who is “dependent” on a salary. Unfortantly , my life has somewhat changed, to one who has no care for status, money and even his future, to one that is constantly worrying about his bank balance, the next career move and his position in the world. A whirlpool of emotions mixed with a fever of a fast moving life…

Il stop now, before i go too "deep". Managed to see some pictures of one of my best friends 31st birthday. 31 or 32? Or 33? Not sure. The title of best friend now seems to waver. No, she still is one of my best friends. Knowing when ones birthday is, or even giving something is not a proof of value of friendship. It’s the quality that counts.

You can spend 10 weeks with someone, 24 hours a day and never get to bond, however one day with another person might teach you more about yourself than any other experience…

Im feeling quite random today at the office. Not much to do. Iv compiled a list of expenses for £300, on the work version of msn messenger to various people, thinking of giving a prank call to a friend of mine. I have been quite good at my accents recently. My favourite is the dumb Texan. Some people might say, im not play acting but finding my true personality!

Weather update – its beg of June, and still clouds wont just go away. They seem to be forming a siege around the sun, preventing us from reaching our daily and reliable source of happiness.

Went to Madrid for the weekend, and there was no battlefield, just a peaceful sun sharing its love with the Spanish citizens. The love was then shared with us, and we passed on the happiness to the Sangria…definitely there is a correlation between light and happiness. No wonder the highest rate of suicide is a Scandinavian country!

“Shes only happy in the sun” – Ben Harper

Anyway good news, a max if 20 degrees this weekend , down the south coast of Bournemouth. Gorgeous stuff isn’t it!
