Runnin Hard

Whew! Went runnin today.. It was so good.. Now I know what Pye was talking about, letting your mind go free, thinking about nothing in particular, no cares, nothing, just the soft (or hard) breathing of yourself and the cool breeze in your face.

It was when I really felt at peace.

To say the truth, I always hoped for a relaxed pace of life, being able to relax, have a ice cool beverage by the pool, read a book here and there, laze in the bath, and finally succumb to the embrace of sleep in a big comfy bed. Or maybe to revel in the outside world with friends and loved ones.

I naive I was.

Its really quite impossible to have all these, as I found out over the years and even more so in the real working life at the age of 20. (haha yes I admit, I'm 20 soon..) The biggest constraint there is: Money. How ironic that the thing that men have killed for ever since its invention is also our lifeblood. We can't really live without it. We can't do much without it. And we definately want it for the betterment of our physical lives as well as the lives of our loved ones.

Is this Greed?

I can't say. I have had a couple of brushes with the greed of money and I must say I'm lucky to get away pretty much unaffected. I know that being greedy is bad, but even for the motive of providing? Well of course I know the answer from the Bible, and I accept it. Nonetheless, the call for more hard cash is ever strong, having entered the working world. So many times I dream of the life described above. Haha I think it would cost a million bucks and more.. Oh well, at least I do have some things that are priceless: My God, my family, and Zelda.

Hard reality.

I ain't prolly ever be rich. Well-to-do perhaps, depending how my career takes of. My plans for the future? Hazy. Well I can make out some landmarks: A car, a home of my own, if i'm lucky, a family too ^^ But how to get there? Totally blur.

Am I thinking too far?

Perhaps. But then again, Its never too early to plan right? Right now, I think a car is quite possible, just that.. I dun wanna be eatin grass, know what I mean? Haha.. My pay sucks.. Oh well, still better than so many people my age right? At least I don't have to rely on my parents financially anymore.

Alright, guess thats enough from me.. Haha dun worry bout me though, just some random topic that came out. Lol won't let this affect me much. Cheers guys! World Cup's commin! Haha hoping beyond hope that England makes it.

I'm definately not walkin alone cos you're here with me..
