Today, I was in the bathroom and I could not stop thinking of one of my best boys, Alex Johnston. He has a particular fascination with the Swine Flu.
While most people see it is a possible epidemic (now pandemic) capable of killing thousands, to him it is simply entertainment and an opportunity to live out a real life zombie movie. To my surprise, the television had somehow turned to my local City TV news channel (evidently available on St. Kitts satellite) where they were reporting the Flu's graduation to threat level 6. As I sat there, I became increasingly excited at the thought of how happy it would make him.
However, this caused me to reflect on my situation. Every night I have the ability to watch local and American television. I can go on MSN and hear stories of friends which make me happy (acting so immature** they forced their female colleague to leave work early). Or, I can go on Facebook and look at my friend`s recent pictures (for the purpose of finding ones which discredit his falsely perceived attractiveness). It really struck me as to how interconnected our world has become. These are all things I would be doing if I were in Toronto. How would I be coping if I had come here a mere 10 years ago?
**This is how they were described by their co-worker. They were probably just acting too good, and were simply misunderstood.

ReplyDeleteI'm trying to figure out if the catagories of people you are going to miss are related or mutually exclusive. Am I a friend, an ugo, a boibe or all three?
