You Know

I wish I can be that, you know, profound. But it’s such a pain. I could perhaps dive beneath the superficial truths that I’m constantly face to face with and see things that are usually invisible to the naked eye. Like seeing the building that a brick could become. Like being a visionary, you know.

And become more engaging. I want to be like that too, you know. More often than not, I walk through my colleagues like I would a road littered with dead people’s rotting corpses. I couldn’t care less. I know I should be more chitty-chatty or more beso-besoer, but it takes a lot of energy, you know, especially when you can’t hide you’re contempt for certain folks.

This world is so full of compromises, you know. Even when people say that you just have to be yourself, what they actually mean is you have to be yourself at your own private time, when you have people surrounding you, you need to also take their feelings into consideration.

It’s hard to smile and ask people to reconsider their rather myopic views about things in a nice way when you know you can just muscle in and do things you’re way. Or pull rank, end of story. But you know, we like to do things the hard and diplomatic way, we have to cajole and persuade and massage other people’s ego because we never know if we still need these people in the future.

Haay, budlay gid, but what can you really do, you know?

    Hi Fence.I hope you don’t mind if I post here the “interview me” set of questions I have finally made for you.1. What is the most admirable ting you have done when nobody was looking?2. How is it possible to go through the motions of love and not think or feel remotely loving.3. Have you ever made a living and LIVE at the same time? If not, what kind of job would enable you to do both?4. Are you still imprisoned or hostaged by something in your past? 5. Name something you want tht most men do not.4.

    By the way, I like the voice you speak with too. It strikes a chord though your sense of angst overwhelms even me.

    Anna, my “angst”, hmmm looks like i need to work on that more; although I sincerely believe I’ve already mellowed down considerably. Alright, as to your “interview questions” hahaha, I’ll need some time to answer those. You ask the most thought-provoking questions, (but I already expected that)still, I need to think a bit if only to provide answers that are, hopefully, worthy of your questions.
