There are those who go further in trying to understand. Then there are those who give up half way. I guess the lose interest? Or do they just not care enough to know?

There are those that think there's a later but the later never comes. Do they really think there's going to be a later or are they just saying that then because they are busier with something else at the moment? Surely they forget about it later.

Then there are those who are never available because they are too busy. Not much can be said about these people. I don't even know them that much at the end of the day.

The question is..

which one is you?

cheers!

All of a day's work.

So I decided to go for a jog through west campus yesterday. Running past the annoying hobos on the drag and swerving through the people with the quiescent look on their faces was awesome. But then, I got home. My throat was parched and I could barely swallow any more saliva. The sweat was dripping on the concrete and left dark gray spots outside my door (I'm building up tension here). I walked into the cool dark apartment and turned on the kitchen lights with the swing of my hand against the wall. I stumbled in and took a glass from the cupboard and held it under the faucet. I turned it on and look down on the floor, hanging on to the kitchen sink with one hand while holding the glass under the faucet with the other. I heard "pha pha pha ...". The water stopped running! My roommate had left the day before. I had told him we should pay the utility bill before they shut it off. But somehow we never worried about it too much. Surely, the day after he leaves it turns off. So I tried to log on to the utilities website after finding out what the company is and their website was down, their phone system was down, and it was after 5 pm. Great! Still dying from the running outside PS.. Finally I called the other old tenants and they had no clue what was going on. One of them told me to check the old bills that had never been opened. The third un-opened one had the "DELINQUENCY NOTICE" muahahah! Just great.. I called them back to experience each one blaming each other for being responsible for paying the bills. I have no clue who's turn it was or who's responsibility it was. The only thing that I was sure was that I was in a Desi apartment. I haven't been to India in almost 9 years now, yet I continue facing the same problems they're experiencing back there. From not having water when you need it, to people blaming each other for it. Finally, I called my brother and he gave me the keys to his apartment, but in the mean time.. the water was back up again. Miraculously.

--LATER--

I went to see The Dark Knight last night. Again. While I was walking into the theatre I was stopped by a gargantuan, burly man of African descent. He said something, that I completely did not understand. For a moment I felt so fobby and thought I just didn't understand his accent. His words were smooth though, simply musical. I guess they just have music running deeply down to every syllable. After a few attempts I finally understood. Turned out he was asking for my ticket stubs so he could get his friends into the movie. I got confused and since my hands were occupied carrying a drink and the popcorn, I used it as an excuse to just walk away mumbling - "i i i i canntt.."

After a long wait and several trailers later, the movie started. And then! The fire alarm rang. I was like..it must've been him!! He's pissed! So we all went out of the theatre and walked back in. Good thing I had kept my ticket stubs. Life lesson - do not ever give your ticket stub away to somebody about to do an illegal task. Karma will turn around and haunt you! It took them 20 minutes to start the movie back up. It ended at 1 am.

When I came back I couldn't fall asleep. So I turned the TV on. There is nothing good on TV usually! Good thing it was past midnight and the infomercials were on. That's right! "SET IT ANDDD FORGET IT!!". That's my favorite one. The foods look so delicious. I'm also currently enjoying the new super towel shammy thing they have, the one that soaks up like a gallon with no effort.. If you haven't seen it, look out for it. It's amazing.

Did I mention I never got any dinner last night either?

still confused and laying here,
