21st March 2005

6:45pm.

Feeling unaccountably fatigued today. Had my tooth reattached at the National Dental Centre and so I got a day off from work(yay!) Made my way to JB after to get another mega-download session: have been logged on for over 5 hours now and,although I was disconnected two times, as of now, I have downloaded 2.7 GB!Had to delete the Matrix, '92 Barcelona event finals and several other files(total 1.9GB) to prevent my HDD from suffocating under the pressure.

Have got many files from the recent 2005 World Figure Skating championships to watch tonight! Also, some nice documentaries and Part 1 of Anne Frank the Movie.

Decided to re-watch many videos, including the files I deleted, and meaningfully, Alanis Morrissette's hit music video "Thank You" from 1998. Not only are the lyrics meaningful and unembellished candour, she also sings most of it stark naked. And part of the point I think is that one has to let go of the world's expectations of them(including that one should be clothed) and be a free spirit. Phrases like 'unabashedly bawling one's eyes out', 'how 'bout me not blaming you for everything, ' how 'bout me enjoying a moment for once', and 'how 'bout how good it feels to forgive you' rang close to home as they encouraged me to let go of my anger at countless things which are out of my control- like the feelings of one I'm attracted to, like how Fate sometimes spits me out onto the pavement of life despite my behaving so much better than so many others, who seem to get so much more out of life.

My mind, heart and soul were more serene mainly because I was free, even if only for one day, from the frustration and pressure of work and mindless noise and politicking.

If my superiors shortchange me, I know that there are countless ways of getting even, and I don't hesitate to use them,as long as I cover my behind and do everything legitimately.

Here's a toast to being a happy, free spirit!

8:45 pm update- It's time to log off and go home; I've downloaded 3.33GB, an all-time record for a single day, and even got some work done while doing it!

See you tomorrow blog!
