4 months…
Until Christmas. How can that be? This year has only just started. It’s a brand new month and the height of summer, I’ve had holidays at work rejected 3 times so I won’t be getting any break until about September/October. I’m not upset about it because if I had 2 weeks off now it would be pretty boring anyway, I’d prefer to meet people at work everyday, have a couple of laughs etc. I have real sense of optimism for the future, I feel as though the older I get, the more complete person I become…I know what I do want in life, and I know what I don’t want, its just about laying the foundations down now and striving for my goals.
Some people from my work are going out tonight, I was invited but I declined. This girl at my work, Paula, is a real bitch. She’s good friends with Sally and Yoko, but I just cannot stand her and refuse to spend the evening in her presence. We used to get on before Christmas, then we didn’t get on for a few months, then recently we got on a little bit, but now its to the point where we don’t even say hi to each other, when she sees me she has a look in her eye that says “Not you”. She is just one of those people you meet in life who are just repellent. When she saw me sitting in her area yesterday, she started mumbling things to herself, Sally said “be nice”, she was disappointed Sam wasn’t sitting next to her as they get on like a house on fire, when Sam turns on his materialistic, negative and sniping personality. She reminds me of my childhood best friend Anton, he was always a bit nasty but we still got on….I was a brat towards these kids that used to live in my area. Me and Anton used to run the place, and I was a bit of a bully, something I regret when I look back. But as me and Anton got into our teens we drifted miles apart, if I were to see him now I wouldn’t know what to say to him and if it wasn’t for our past friendship we would dislike each other as much as I do Paula. I’ve had to curb a lot of my annoying tendencies down the years, up to the age of 11 everything went my way and maybe sometimes I took advantage of that, but I was only a kid. I distinctly remember when I was in the playground with one of my friends at the time, Dave, and we got into a fight and the whole playground was chanting for me to win, I wondered how Dave felt, until a few years into my nightmarish second school I got into a fight with another friend Collin and everyone was cheering for him. Its funny how the world turns.
An example that we can all look at is Mike Tyson and Michael Jackson. I’m a fan of them both and in the 80’s they ruled the roost, there were no bigger names in their respective fields and during this period everything they did was successful. But that changed upon entering the 90’s and things slowly went downhill for both men. Jackson still had massive record sales and Tyson still had knockouts, but both got caught up with the law and now in the 00’s it’s hard to say where both these men will end up.
Either way there still legends….
