cleaning my act

October 11, 2006 when something goes wrong, and i know i cant control it, i go for he next best thing.

i clean.

i clean my room, my closet, my desk...anything that i feel needs cleaning, even if to some theres no need at all (well not my desk, everyone tells me i need to clean it) i tend to become more OC.

have the towels cleaned, pile clothes in 3 categories, shorts and undies go side by side, a pile for my work clothes that can do without hanging, another for those id wear at home. then arrange them by color. yes, by color.

if i weren't allergic to dust im sure to scrub the whole apartment down last night. i tend to the CR instead.

and of course my desk. now, at least i can see the blue coating again. for weeks it has been covered by mountains of scratch papers, print outs, articles, post it notes, newspaper and magazine. now i have more room to breathe.

i know im not the only one in the world who does this. when one feels helpless about one thing in his or her life, s/he looks for other avenues which s/he can control. when you find yourself in a shithole of a situation, you look somewhere else to let yourself feel that you haven't lost it yet, you are still in control, maybe not in every aspect of your life, but at least in one or two.

the people and their struggle to stay sane. and the world that prevents them to succeed..this two somehow manages to coexist. that my friends, is what we call a day to day miracle.

in a few days a friend of ours will be off to Dubai, starting our dream. we're planning to have a little gathering, a last toast of some sort. i know it would be long before we get to drown ourselves again in alcohol,, so tonight.. bottoms up guys!

(shit we're really getting old)

-----

i dont eat mushrooms and green peas. im not allergic to it, i just dont eat it. i separate them in my beef and mushroom and my yang chow fried rice, piece by piece.

some people dont get it. sometimes i too dont get myself. but that's just me, the mushroom-and-green-peas-non-eater.

deal.with.it.
