Sometimes you think you’re unhappy, but you’re really tired

Prologue
I wanted to blog one of my multipoint posts.. but it will take time and brain power.. so definitely not now.. for now here is something to get you going... (Note to self: remember to tell them about Tina's Elephant and Kouiedar Communism..

Soooooooo, Zeww (a.k.a. Yasmine) has introduced me in recent weeks to the Dilbert blog (yes, Dilbert the cartoon strip).. Back when we were in IBM we both identified our common interest in his cartoons and we both related to them, but it was the first time i discover that Scott Adams, the cartoonist, has a blog, and a VERY interesting one for that...

What does he blog about? well, mostly "life, the universe, and everything".. He blogs about corporate life, career paths, affirmations, success, religion, knowing when to quit, news, and politics.. and being an eternal optimist yet a profound thinker, he guarantees a good read everytime..

Why am I talking about him? because in one of his latest posts, he established the title declaration, "Sometimes you think you're unhappy, but you're really tired".. Interesting post that came in a most interesting time..

On a more serious note, and for the politically inclined (or even those who arent but wouldnt mind the occasional thought-provoking), check out his Sunday blogs dedicated to serious stuff, particulary this one ... His argument is straight and smooth..

I initially planned to blog about how i related to his optimism/energy article.. but i am going to hold that thought for a couple of days...

Meanwhile, check out his blog and browse previous posts.. chances are, you wont be disappointed...

Cheers,
Nagbert :)

p.s. oh, and if i ever get my own company, that is how i will design cubicles :D

p.p.s. reading this post again, i seriously dont like how its written, so i will pretend i didnt read it again :D

Round and round and round... Vicious circles..

My whole life is a bit round around the edges. No sharp angles, no pointed corners. There is nothing definite, nothing determined, everything open to discussion. I just fade out or phase out then blend in because I believe I choose my battles, and right now I cant find a battle worth fighting. That's what you get when you cross a circle with real life.

Today I am
A small blue thing
Like a marble
Or an eye

With my knees against my mouth
I am perfectly round
I am watching you

I am cold against your skin
You are perfectly reflected
I am lost inside your pocket
I am lost against
Your fingers

I am falling down the stairs
I am skipping on the sidewalk
I am thrown against the sky

I am raining down in pieces
I am scattering like light
Scattering like light
Scattering like light

Today I am
A small blue thing
Made of china
Made of glass

I am cool and smooth and curious
I never blink
I am turning in your hand
Turning in your hand
Small blue thing

~ Suzanne Vega, Small Blue Thing
