facebook philosophy

Thousand of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared, remember that.

these are aren't my words. this is the facebook status of one of my friends. what is the fucking point of writing shit like that as your facebook status. lets be honest, most facebook status messages are mundane, but when people start coming out with horse shit like this, its even worse. i nearly commented and sarcasticly said i liked his greeting card philosophy and where did he google it from and if there was a whole website of shit like that, but i didn't. he is a mate after all. also one of his friends replied " you and me bro are living proof of that". that makes 2 idiots.

the other day his facebook status was "i need a massage", to which the same male friend said he was really good at giving massages. i nearly replied " i think you have pulled mate".
anyways lets see how it all pans out. as far as i know he is not gay ( i have met his previous girlfriends ) but we shall see how this man on man flirting with an audience of hundreds on facebook pans out.

had another call about a contract and once more they sounded a bit hesitant when i told them i would be able to start in 4 weeks. anyways, i will resign tomorrow. my boss is back today from his holiday and i will let him get settled in before i tell him the news and let him know he will be spending the next few weeks going through cv's and interviewing.

i can't wait to quit. i could do with some time off work and a holiday even if i don't end up going away abroad somewhere. it will be interesting to see how they take the news. when you work in a huge bank with hundreds or thousands of employees, they get used to people coming and going. here, between the unix, networks and the windows teams which consists of 12 people in total, i am the most recent hire (15 months ago). they don't have a high turnover of staff and everyone else has been here for at least 5 years.

weekend was quiet. couldn't cycle to the gym on saturday as it was showery and freezing cold, but did manage to cycle yesterday. there must have been something going on because there were loads of cyclists going round regents park that looked like they were training for a time trial or triathlon. they all had the extended centred handle bars and were in full aero kit with even the lycra shoe covers. saw a couple of lovely cervelo time trial bikes. i am pretty sure one of the guys was riding one of these, but with a deep zipp rim at the back instead of a solid disc. it looked fucking awesome.

thats all folks. its cold outside. am wearing my coat and scarf these days. its horrible. oh, and also apologise if i have ever come out with greeting card philosophy ever in this blog.

today i have mostly been listening to the hold steady - hurricane j. great song.
