Emancipated ? Not Just Yet.
While she's celebrating her divorce anniversary from pasty ol' Brit, minging me, on the other end, is on my third week of imprisonment. No, I take that back ! Heck, even being in prison is better than my current predicament.
At least in prison, I can like spend my days sharpening that not-so-blunt-anymore pink toothbrush and not care of practically anything else. Stress ? Hardly. And if I'm lucky, I might even get some good ol' banging from nasty me-have-burberry-caps-and-rockport-trainers skinheads thrown in while scrubbing the lavatory. Bliss ? Oh, yes. Triga-style !
But hell, no.
For I'm in some place that's beyond rude. Fucken strapped in the world of late-night studies, assiduous reading ( pretending to be lah ! ) and exam blues. A world where I woke up thinking of procedure determination, reading up on outbound delivery while eating and sleeping, dreaming of copy controls. Urghh !
Independence. Such strange a word for me, now. But hey, I'm hopeful. That my day of emancipation will come real soon.
Meanwhile, here's a toast to her. With no gloss-over. Or sarcasm poke.
To a hopeful you ! Happy 49th, old boy !
