Casting Shadows On An Endless Circle
(DJ Seto - Rebirth) (in heavy rotation)

Every morning it’s the same.  The alarm clock beeping; the wake-up shower; letting my dog out for his morning shit; gathering my stuff; driving to work; slowing down near the corner of Britannia Road and Mississauga Road to avoid a speeding ticket from Mr. Sneaky Policeman; walking into work exactly 1-2 minutes late; answering all my emails; and sluggishly working through my “To Do List”.

It’s routine and I hate it. 

I want to wake up and have the sun rise from the west.
I want to wake up and work through my “To Don’t List”.
I want to wake up knowing that I’m not going to be awkward today.
I want to wake up in the morning not knowing what’s around the next corner.

I so desperately need to get away.

Careful what you wish for. That descriptions sounds a little bit like what a bout of unemployment feels like. But I hear ya. Routine can get tiresome and depressing. Sometimes you just gotta find some new hobbies, push yourself to do new things, take vacation time more often. Unfortunately bringing in a paycheque is a necessary burden.

Even unemployment gets routine. You wake up and you look for a job.

The life of someone ridiculously rich is what it really sounds like.

I have a week planned in Vancouver next month...hopefully that will cure my routine woes...
