This makes me chuckle

I'm currently reading to submerge myself into a life, in hopes of escaping my current one. White Teeth, by Zadie Smith is the current book of choice, and this quote must be shared. =) Have a chuckle with me...

"when the male organ of a man stands erect, two thirds of his intellect go away, and one third of his religion."

Fickle

The world and everything that it holds is...Selfish, egocentric, egotistic, greedy, narcissistic, parsimonious, prejudiced, self-centered, self-indulgent, self-interested, self-seeking, stingy( 4pts.). Which in turn is slowly and ever so surely turning me into what I fear most, a cynic. There has to be an up side...Or maybe there isn't and I just think there is because I've been told that all my life. I am left feeling jaded, though some of my friends feel I've always been jaded....I'm more so than ever, and it has spread to more aspects of my life....And so, I find it difficult to see the upside.

If this is truly how it is...How do we co-exist appeasably. It seems an impossible feat. I mean look at it from any angle you want. Everything revolves around itself. Examples: The planets around the sun, moon around the planets, sperm around the egg, the world around yourself. It couldn't well be yourself around the world could it?

The answer: Detachment. Let me learn to master all that is connected to this word. By detaching myself from all that can cause me suffering, that only leaves happiness right, well if I can find happiness alone, then so be it. How ironic that my answer brings me right back to being ego-centric.

Someone is testing me hardcore right now!

it is a dewdrop world;

I Love San Diego!

On another note...I heard a funny and yet disturbing story today, from a good friend. (I will keep her idenity a secret for...reasons.) I've never heard of such dedication...there is a girl that has been a bank teller for 26 friggen years. For all of you who don't know, when I was a teller (for 6 months) I made a whopping $10 an hour. Hey, don't be too quick to judge. I know that life is not all about the bling, but you just cannot live off that kind of paycheck. That's $2100 a month! The average rent in San Diego is ~$1236! That's just somewhere to live, I haven't even mentioned food, electricity and all the other necessities. And honestly, can you see yourself content being a teller for the rest of your life? I mean, have you no drive to do better? You simply just can't live happily eking by every month. Am I being retardedly callous?

Today is a sad day.

Hmmm...

I must've missed the memo that summer arrived early. The weather has been quite the temptress. Low 80s all week, says the ever so friendly weather man. I find myself waking every morning with very good thoughts...

Bean Town & The Woo

Fun times once again with monkey 1 and friends. Westerly winds were held back from an unexpected storm front...Sadness in hearts, for the wind did not make it through. Alas the winds will blow again.
