what the fuck.

Every once in a while i get handed reminders of how certain circumstances can be brought about with absolutely no warning at all. And there's nothing really that i can do about it. When everything blows up in my face and i'm left to fend for myself and make do with whatever i've got. Then i somehow tide through it and when it's over i realise it's not really that bad after all, just not a very pleasant feeling.



It sounds worse than it is, but it doesn't feel worse.



So as i told someone a while ago, you just gotta chill and heck.







What's your single most unshakeable belief?

This is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about.



And my mind is blank.



But it will be over soon.

"Hey."



"Hey, hi! I didn't see you coming in. When did you get here?"



"Oh, I was over there in the corner, looking over some of my notes. You know, the usual stuff."



"You still doing that thing? I thought you'd be done with that by now. Well, I mean I thought it wouldn't take that long."



"Nah, it's a whole new batch. So...yeah you know. Er...hey, did you catch the show last night?"



"Nope! I was busy with...you know, all my crap and stuff. I had to stay in to finish it all up. Well, at least try to finish it. As you can see I'm still not done yet."



"Oh...so you didn't see my...yeah it seems like you got a hell lot to do. Am i bothering you?"



"Nah, you're not. This stuff is just piling on me anyway so no matter how fast I work on it, I'll never be able to finish it. So...yeah. It's a real chore."



"Yeah...so did you hear about..."



"What? You mean them? Oh yeah I heard about it. It's...I don't know what to think really. It's just, you know...sad i guess."



"Yeah it kinda is. Do you know what happened?"



"Well...what I heard is that there's some other guy involved and you know the usual blah blah...etc."



"Oh, Ok. I didn't know that."



"Yeah, it's like...I don't know. I kinda feel for them but like, I'm like kinda resigned to it too. I mean, it's kinda like...well, us. You know...well, you know."



"Oh...wait didn't we talk about this already. We agreed that we won't let this affect...you know, us."



"Yeah, I know, I know. It's just...the similarities are there. You know what I mean."



"Yeah."



"...Yeah."



"So...Who's the other person? Do you know?"



"I don't really know the guy but I think I've seen him around before, somewheres."



"Really?"



"Yeah, and I heard that he's going for some course or something. Some kind of training, for like one and a half months. So, well I know this isn't very relevant. Just some stuff i heard you know. Yeah."



"A course? Oh...Ok. Hey, I gotta go now, need to meet erm...yeah I gotta meet someone. So...I'll see you some other time alright? Seeya."



"Yeah alright, bye!"



"Bye."



"Hey wait! I gotta ask you...something."



"...What? What is it?"



"Do you think that what they're doing is right? The other guy and her? Do you think they're right?"



"I...I don't know. Can we not...I'll talk to you some other day Ok?"



"Yeah alright, bye."



"Bye."





"...Bye."
