Feel your power
I love London. I love the fact that I could wander into the Natural history museum, marvel at a huge dead animal, wander back out again into a pub, and waste a Sunday evening in a way that felt so damn good. Never a dull moment, from watching some guy cruise about on a quad bike, to sitting on the street telling jokes. Edinburgh just doesn’t have the sheer presence that I feel when I walk this city. There’s just more to do, despite hardly knowing anyone here.
It could have been a dashing Indiana Jones moment on the tube, as the doors rushed to shut, and I hit the Turbo Pursuit button. Time slowed down, I made it inside the train; but the beeping of the doors continued. I was glued to the door, fallen from grace so abysmally, a turtle complete with flailing arms and legs. The hardback book in my rucksack was on the other side of the tube doors. All is forgiven, because Piers Morgan is turning out to be an engaging read.
Feel your power - something that Guiliana told me to do well over a year ago, and I’m only beginning to understand now. Scarface said it too. “First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the women.” I’ll be contented with just power. Not in the traditional sense of social hierarchy, but just feeling my own power. The power to be able to communicate and witness a positive emotion unfolding before you.
On a separate note, redundancies are happening at the firm. The atmosphere is nauseating, as not everyone has yet been told, and we have to wait until tomorrow until we know. I, of course, being a cocky little git, have no cares in the world, and therefore will not get the bullet this time. I got the bullet at Sony, because I wanted to keep the job. This one can go. I’m done with living in Scotland, so sod’s law is going to keep me there until I pull the plug. September is when I envisage change. In the meantime, London is good for me, and I’m loving every minute of it.
Question I am asking myself right now: Somebody said that I was had a sense, similar to that of a feminine intuition. Apparently, it's rare. Still, i'm not quite sure what she was talking about.
