And the Pickles...

SOOO.... Its Wednesday. Hump day.. Hmm.. Im terribly bored. Well, that's kinda my fault. I haven't been to work in a couple of days, and there is no one to chat with. :( But at least I have been catching up with stuff I've been wanting to do! I watched the Portugal-Mexico game today. Unfortunately, we lost. :tear: But we still advance! Yay!
I've also been reading my book, "The Creature From Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve" by G. Edward Griffin. Im in love with the guy and his ideas. In a nutshell, he takes a good look at the Federal Reserve and how it really isn't a part of the government itself, but rather a private corporation and it's all a big scandal. Its a book that really opens your eyes. He explains everything there is about the monetary system. Truely a book on world affairs. Bear with me, it's about 600 pages long.. and at first I thought it would put me to sleep.. When in fact nothing has made me more awake. I'll give more of a review later, since I just started the book.
Its a very humid and hot day today in Chi-town. I hear the paleta man out front and he makes me wanna buy one. I love the strawberry-milk kind. I remember running barefoot outside when I used to live on Lexington to buy one. Or when I was at Whitney Young and the guy would stand on the corner of the building, and I waited my turn. I took the time to peel off the wrapping and enjoy it on the grassy grounds of my high school.. Or I would walk home passively and take slow bites. Times were different then. Things are moving so fast now. Time is no longer true. It feels like Im living 14 hours in a 24 hour day. Im getting older. Sleep is a commodity which i take full advantage of when it is offered. The only time I throughly enjoy eating is with Joseph at the kitchen table or at a nice restaurant. Relaxing is rare. I needed a break from work. I need to relax. Nightshift is getting hard. I want to see the sun. See it set. I want my evenings back. I want time to stop even for just a second. I want to step out of 'The Matrix'. (And I did just that the other day at Crobar..Ha Ha! Thanks Joey!) My job does not satisfy me. But I must press on. Automotive school is calling me. Its a step. A GIANT STEP. I must become that better person. Tengo que luchar.
