It's A New Day

My tomorrow had already started when i woke up this morning, and i lay there wondering how long this new day had been operating...

The first time i opened my eyes this morning was at around 06h28 and the bloody birds; who live in the large thorn-type tree outside my window, in my front garden; were raising hell, leaving my ear drums filled with hot ash. i took this to mean that it was not my time to get out of bed yet, so i pulled the covers just a tad higher to block out the world.

i have been battling with the question, "how does tomorrow begin?" for a few weeks now and i am yet to come up with an answer that satisfies me.

What i did, and i think we should do, is look at when tomorrow begins; then maybe we can get an idea of how it begins. After interacting with many people and observing many others i have come to the realisation that for a great majority of the populace, tomorrow only begins when they wake up in the morning after the sun has risen. Try this the next time you are with some friends and are awake at 03h00(am), listen to them speaking about the previous day as if it had not ended at 11h59:59sec(pm). They will then also refer to the current day (which started at ooh00(am) as tomorrow . This in effect means that, for most people sleep is required and once that sleep is over for tomorrow begins.

If you think about it, it is rather ludacris...but understandable.

Thats enough rambling from me for today


It never came!
i was promised that it would come if i behaved...
and i did, i did behave.
i cleaned the yard
fed the dog(who's is it anyway)
watered the plants
polished the stoep
cut the grass(with hand sheers i might add)
did my homework
read a few chapters from the book you gave me the other day(you know the boring one by that L'amour dude)
i didn't waste time watching tv
or listening to the radio
but i did play Public Enemies Fight the Power at full volume
while behaving...

but it still did not come.
where did the love go daddy?

About Me

Who i am is not important in the greater scheme of the U-N-I-Verse. One of the many things that is wrong with the world today, is that we (individuals) take ourselves to seriously and therefore think to much of ourselves (as individuals). Emphasis should be put on the Collective Purpose of our existance and the attainment of the Greater Good. Our individual roles and responsibilities in achiving that Purpose should be our quest and once we know what that is, we should devote ouselves completely to achieving that Purpose and doing that Good.
