she's lost control
i'm just a few days away from the first year anniversary of the last ever exam i took, and that also means it's already been a year of me 'doing nothing.'
recently i was thinking about this and it came to me that this working thing is not just a loss of freedom, but also a loss of control over my life.
ever since we were young, our lives have been governed by all these random people who put up all sorts of rules that we have to follow, or else. all these happened without any of our agreement at all.
most guys only feel this the worst when they go to NS, because it is the worst, but they don't realise that it has been on-going since the day they were born.
first of all you were born in this country so the government has control. your parents made you, so they had control, then they put you in school, and your teachers had the control. after that the males went to NS.
when that was all over, some went back to school, and the rest, they were adults now, so their parents were out of the equation, no teachers, no sergeants and officers, the only one bit of control which is out of their hands is the government.
in other words, they now have the most control over their lives as they've ever had since birth! and if you noticed, all these random people who were in control of our lives, it didn't matter if they were complete idiots, incompetent fools, pedophiles, psychopaths, they still had the control and we had to accede.
with so much power in their hands, what do they do? rush to get any random job and hand it all back to their new boss, and of course we've all heard the stories of the fucked up boss, useless boss. what they don't realise is that all of the power their bosses have was what they had happily passed over to him in the first place.

sorry now all of the comments gets sent to my spam folder together with the real spam comments, that's why i only reply after some time.
regarding work, i'm open to almost anything as long as it is interesting and i'm not too poorly paid.
now people usually ask me 'what is interesting?'
good question, i tell them. i don't know, but i'll know when i see it.
