Benched

We do have our usual games on Sunday night. Everyone's free before the week starts. The time's late enough to have the court all to ourselves. 8pm? 9pm? 12am... and yes, some of us do have work tomorrow. This is actually where I have had the most fun in the past couple of weeks. People also started making kwento about JV Sebial's famed Axe Advesrtisement. I shall post it in the next blog. 

Watching the ongoing game, I talked to Mark about his pending trip to Australia. If this conversation happened three months back, I'd probably be in a different direction now. Who knows? This desk job thing may not have ever occured. Mark, with about 15 hundred dollars in his backpocket attempts to live it out rough in the outback. Suddenly, the movie "Into the Wild" came into mind. It's amazing how many lives that movie has changed since its release last year. More and more kids are second-guessing the career path. But then I thought to myself... does this decision not to work come from my appetite to explore or my laziness to push myself through the workforce? It could be a combination of both. I suspect it is. It's easy to say "what the fuck is the point to work?", because we've been thinking about experience being the ultimate measure of how successful your life is. But when you think about it.. it's also about caring for others. Staying home. Making money. Raising children. Saving the country. Building a future.

So fuck the emo-ness bro. Work because others can't. And to be honest, there might be a purpose in it.
