The parsimonious guardian angel of moi is asleep, and likes to nod off a lot, I suppose. Like many of you, my fellow sufferers (who have to shamefacedly bring mass produced junk to the very home where you fervently promised yourself that you'll stop buying shit), when faced with a financial decision, I can be a, well, an idiot.
**Looks around** Finds a bundle of clothes on what was once upon a time bought as an exercise cycle.
Have you ever seen a more hideous thing?
It was once rode on in colour advertisements on the tele by beautiful women in skimpy outfits, and men so designed to make 'normal' people look at themselves, and pumped with more steroids than *****(I can't use a name, you see. Anyone I name could be used to label me as racist, xenophobic, or something worse. Times, heh?).
I should clean the cycle.
Anyway, the exercise cycle. why did I buy that? I suppose I thought I'd exercise daily to get the kick ass body I once had dreams of.
INCONVENIENT VOICE IN MY HEAD : "Yeah, just like you thought you'd use that other thing. And that. Oh and the one behind that."
Oh I can shut it off. Good!
Why do I buy these stuff? Stuff I don't need, and stuff I have to keep working to pay for. Worse, stuff I don't use!
I'm going to assume that you're still here because you can relate. And SO, in my best pompous-sanctimonious tone, imagine me shouting :
Look around at the books we never read, the gadget we never figured out how to use, the toothpaste that we don't use (Well, not all the time.).
To self : Don't be another cog in the wheel, one insignificant part of this giant ass machine. The purpose is different. The purpose is to be different, to be this one unique combination of experiences, that has never happened before, and that will never happen again.
Just be.
