Something tells me I should have majored in Philosophy instead, or at least tried my hands/legs at football. (After all, I couldn't have controlled which kind of family background I might have been introduced to...)

It's pretty common that I had one or two days where I would have worked 12+ hours straight in a week........

And yet, today I felt extremely tired, when I had thought that it shouldnt be the case.

For much of the afternoon, I was pretty much left alone - at times, I felt a momentary spin in my head and the sense of instability threatened to knock me off my feet.

Maybe it's the haze, maybe it's the heat.

Maybe it's the feeling of knowing that one is working the ass off while the other is all laughs and smiles...

In any case, I still managed to finish my stuff earlier than usual. Shall try to be even earlier tomorrow.

Interesting exchange of viewpoints on marraige. Shall stop here and shift attention to there.

Signing off................ Black, black, black, is the colour of my true Self's hair - why bother if it's long or short..........
