"go to heaven for the climate, hell for the company"


a quote that just struck me while the weather was pleasant, i am sitting alone but missed my friends. a quotation copyrighted by Mark Twain, a writer, humorist, and a novelist. a man who also wrote the book "the adventures of Huckleberry Finn". the book was  about a young boy's belief in the right thing to do even though the majority of society believes that it was wrong. in which i can describe that i embrace the idea. sound leftist huh?!... but enough about Mark Twain, and Huckleberry Finn, i'll just probably reflect/discuss the matter on some other time. going back to the quotation, its kinda funny that i constructed the thought, just like Mark twain, which is a world renowned writer. skeptics may say that i did not constructed the thought but probably remembering my lessons back in grade school. creativity or imitation, i just wanted to write it... sometimes solitary brings out the talent in you. anyway, the point is that i miss the company of my friends. I'm sick , i got the flu and the doctor advised that i should rest for three days to recover fast. i am in heaven for the last three days... doing nothing, no work, no stress, the weather was good, i have t.v., dvd, internet, phone, a lot of food but i cannot go out. i can't wait to go back to hell... meaning work, the commute, the pressure, the drama, the gimmicks and of course the company of friends.

...and it finally rained.

i greeted the rain with euphoria...

when i was a kid, i really hate rain. i remembered when it is cloudy, i recite "rain rain go away, come again another day" all the time. its is so applicable when i was a kid because i cannot play outside and i go out lot. but when you aged and become busy with work, career, family, chores, gimmicks, friends, relationships, and become sleep deprived... Damn its so nice to get a day of sleep. the drought ceased and i can never be happier, after a week of no sleep, because of the damn heat... i welcomed rain with pillows, a blanket and a smile in my face. what can i say?! ...and it finally rained.
