THE IMPONDERABILIA OF EVERYDAY EXISTENCE

Birthdays and cups

I am somewhat confused tonight. My transformation from being a focused student to someone who is unsure of what is to be done the next hour is disturbing. It started the day my parents arrived in the city. Not that I am blaming them for the recent changes in my schedule, but it did start on the 4th. Today we were out at the mall and they kept insisting I buy something for my birthday, however I could find nothing that would fit the bill of being a birthday present. Taking home something that I wouldn't use later didn't make sense either. So I came back, and in between the hours of badminton post the mall walk, I thought about what I needed. I realized I didn't need anything. I am content for the moment. This is something almost everyone hopes to achieve in their lifetime. I wonder how I got here?

An earlier reference to all the brands we were exposed to, I thought maybe the person who said "Money can buy you happiness" was right after all. Hours later, I stand corrected. I may want all my eyes see but I don't need them. Therefore, this birthday I wish for a Chelsea win. We are two steps away from winning the Champions League for the first time. With the finale at Wembley, I think it is only fair we lift the cup at the Millenium stadium. Tomorrow the decision shall be made. Blue will be the colour of the day, hopefully.
