The month of May has so far been great...found a job after 17 months of unemployment, been working for two days now:-). Feels great to have the thought that i`m earning something, and learning the whole `work` atmosphere. And my bestie told me that she`s expecting her first child and another friend of mine is getting married.She also asked me to be her bridesmaid, i think she ran out of all the single friends(yes i`m one of the very few unmarried ones) cz i`m a lot more taller than she is:-) anyway i said yes cz she`s not someone i can say no to, but when she said she might kill the groom cz of all the stress, i realized what i just got myself into. Hopefully it`s gonna be a beach wedding and should be fun.
On a more negative note..
i was coming home from work, with my brother and my sis-in-law, stuck in traffic. A three-wheeler came on the wrong side of the road,blocked the whole side and got blasted by a van driver who came from the opposite direction.They shouted at each other and the van passed by, but was stuck in traffic. The taxi driver stopped it, right infront of our car, this is in the middle of the road, got down, lifted the back seat and took something. I was saying to myself `let it not be a knife or a gun`, it was a huge metal bar.Then he walked to the van which was still stuck in traffic, i thought he was gonna smash the drivers head with it, or smash a window. Just when he was a few feet away the traffic cleared and the van drove off. All this time we just stayed in the car, waited for the taxi driver to come back and drive away clearing the road for us. What if he had hit the poor fellow, who was gonna stop him?, what if it was the other way round, some mad driver coming at us , who`s gonna help us? My cousin always says if u see some kind of a robbery or anything, throw whatever you have at the bugger and run off, yes its a risk , but if nobody does anything....
anyway, the day went well, and just remembered a quote i wrote down some time back, i wanna remember & live by it ,
"History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad ppl, but the appalling silence of the good ppl"-Martin Luther King
