The xx – "Intro" (2009)
2010/01/29
I am sick today. Just one of several unfortunate events for me today. Others include my coffee maker not properly dripping the coffee into the pot, but rather out onto the counter, the outside and inside of the cabinets below, and then all over the floor, including grounds of course. Another was when I went to make an egg sandwich only to discover the egg whites were not white, they were green like antifreeze. No Green Eggs and Ham for me please! There are other things, but they are less hilarious, and far more disappointing. So I am going to go back to bed, with this "Intro" from "The xx" stuck in my head, to put a big X on my day. It is a sad sort of tune for a sad sort of day.
Hopefully tomorrow will start out better. It will at least be different and a Saturday.

The XX – "Crystalised" (2009)
2009/11/13
I'm feeling subdued today. Tired of the week. Tired of the needs of others placed upon me. Ready to relax and do as I wish. In need of a mental bath. A cleansing.
My job, it drains me. Too much to do. Too little time. High expectations without reality playing a serious role, or so it would seem. Compensation being reduced. Motivation lacking. It contrasts with me. I am not a slouch. I work hard. I strive for quality. I do not fail. As with all opposing forces something will give. Will I change? Will I be force out? Will I fight until I am crushed like a bug? I do not know.
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied
It is funny the things we put up with. Ultimately I do not need the house I live in, the car, the stuff, etc. etc. I need the food, water, shelter and clothing. The sanitation and healthcare are also a plus. But really G and I could cut so much and live so simply. I guess I'd have to give up the Internet connection, though I am more likely to give up the phone first. I wonder if the happiness of a different work life wouldn't be worth it. Or perhaps I am just a whiny baby? I have a job after all and I believe most people would say it pays well. The stress is what gets to me though. Being forced to work to a lower level of quality than I can face. *sigh*
This song has the feeling I have right now. The flavor… a pensive beat. A thoughtful moment. A worn feeling, but not without a fight lurking underneath. Do you hear it? Do you feel it? Yes? No? Come back when you're worn down a bit more and we will see.
