* don't read any more crap freebie newspapers on public transport...they only make me upset
* don't give a shit - about trivial work matters, that is. It's just a means to an end and it's all irrelevant.

jammin'
On the way home tonight, the same guy as last night was standing at Charing Cross station with his sign 'Everything is OK'. So last night I really resented him. I thought, what kind of self-righteous bullshit is this. Yet another smug leftie, bumming off the dole and having the gall to have a go at 'hard working taxpayers'...
Bullshit...tonight was a different story. He really made me smile. He wasn't doing anything different. Still persisting. But tonight I felt differently about the world. I'd been struggling with myself all day. Wondering what had happened to me. Consumed by the consumer society. A wage slave. Unhappy. Unfulfilled.
So I stopped and had a bit of a chat. Glad i did. And while I did, Network Rail staff seem to become insensed by him. They accused him of loitering, tried to get him to leave...said he was in the way of the commuters...mind you he was standing in front of a concrete pillar, so I don't know who was walking into the pillar.... Then a plain clothes cop came and arrested him...just as i was talking to him.
I dunno...I feel a bit gutless now...I really should have followed the copper and continued my conversation with this guy. But I guess in the interest of self preservation I went and joined the throngs and waited for the next train...crammed on to it and rushed for a seat by the window in the middle of the carriage, where it's nice and warm, right where I feel cozy.
I hope I catch up with him again some time. Danny Shine on!
