This is the first part [-opening-] of the entry... I need more time to put together the second part [-closing-]. I been beyond distant of many thing, and I am sorry for this. Just alot is going on and getting to me. Be well....
In a monotone of hell raised by the winds of great spirits, I can only sit within it and wonder what I will have for dinner, perhaps what sort of alcoholic drink that would go great with it. A common dilemma that I am sure many people can relate to, I mean …. Really…. Would I be lazy this evening to cook the 3 course meal my taste liquefies for? Because that sounds really great right about now, you watch, I am going to toss instant broccoli and rice in the microwave.
“I don’t care what you say Louni, we need the shipment to come before Friday now grow a pair and tell them how it is or else I will with them and also you, I promise you will leave work early after I’m done with you. Geesuz!” The sound of a corded phone slammed to its resting place and the grunts of my boss, —Misiana— roared by the minute pass. She was beyond pissed at Louni, just for your…. You know…. “Information,” as if you were curious anyhow.
Papers were thrown on my desk at a high force I mistaken it for an earthquake and looked around like a smart ass. “Don’t give me that today Delia. Get these papers down and done because one of your co-workers is slacking off badly and will be fired if they continue to do this.” I gazed up at her like some sort of fool in the acid rain, pouting. She wasn’t going to give in to it. Misiana popped her white collar and licked her lips, “If you go by the ‘cooler!’ be sure to start the rumors that Louni might get fired. Maybe he will straighten up or maybe he will be prepared for his future, jobless.” Her thin eyebrows curved deviously in a short reflex causing me to not only look like an idiot but also a bit lost. I probably was lost.
When I am not lost?
I am surprised I can wake up without a map on hand to make sure I actually did wake up and how I should approach the morning. So I am the typical ‘who hah,’ but like any other simple ‘who hah’ —beta male— out there —with metro appearance, — I tend to look into the logical ordeal of life. I suppose it wastes more than enough time when I am home alone after a long day at work, flipping through all the cartoon channels and eating, you guessed it, instant broccoli and rice.
Whereas my kitchen merged only feet into my ‘dining area’ so did my ‘living room’. I stayed in a tiny apartment that is beyond cheap, it is suicidal. Oh the crime tolerance in this neighborhood, the gun shots by an angry couple, and the screams of a hooker my neighbor in 33B always rents out, but it was close to work…. I had no car, I can’t afford one, but if I could… I would be ‘pimping’ it old school like that.
Though, to my surprise, today was quite different.
You’d think I would have caught on when I burned my instant meal….. How can someone burn one of those? I apparently did and the fire alarm whaled in my ear until I grabbed a shirt to fan it down. You’d think I would have caught on when I slid my tiny windows opened to help air out the apartment from the smoke. There was no sound in the streets, it sounded…… normal …. Define normal? Okay, to me it’s when you can hear the wind brush by, the trees ruffling a sound like the ocean waves, and the adventures of little animals are encountering.
I did not take this silent moment for granted. I tossed my legs over the window and hopped down to the ridged stairs, hearing my weight rattle the metal and echo past the towering apartment complex. I had to get out, now, and hope that this time I will find more to life then suffering. Or…. Whatever it is I am going through.
