Been reading some Facebook posts of my friends that it is indeed stormy and windy in some places in the US. Just got a call from my dad yesterday and confirmed it. They are currently in New Orleans and he told me that a storm is brewing. Geez, that confirms all the posts that i have been reading for the past days.
Ahhh... most people would say "Global Warming" whenever topics about this "erratic" weather pattern comes up. Yep, "Global Warming" is such a common word it has been a part of our vocabulary for the past, hmm,...lemme see, five years. And to think that such term was or is only about 30 years old...
No! This is not another campaign or information drive. This is perhaps the result of early morning sex on an office day and reading some interesting posts while waiting for my "2nd breakfast". It just made me wonder. Aside from an additional word in our vocabulary (which is a very good thing). Is man adversely affected by global warming or climate change mentally? Sure, man's behavior will obviously show some inconsistencies from his usual self, but it would take another person (an observer) to point out if one has indeed shown some behavioral (?) modification due to global warming. (excuse the term guys, I'm avoiding the word "change" here, but there, i just did...)
I think summer is just trying to peak here in Iloilo, Having failed to peak during it's supposed schedule to do so. Trying because one can certainly feel the sun's effort to scorch us only to be extinguished later in the day by clouds, rain and thunderstorms. Even the local weather bureau was baffled by this phenomenon after having announced earlier to brace for a long hot and dehydrating summer. The presence of that mid summer tornado was probably the highlight of it all...Haven' t experienced too much wind in the summertime, and rain...
Anyway, as part of my observation, recession or no recession, global warming is here to stay affecting our lives and minds, no matter what the weather is, always expect the unexpected. The presence of strong gusts will always be around, always be...The way we manage our lives will surely be affected by the temperature on the open road or indoors, our temperament and decisions included. Making sensible judgment in whatever form is vital to preserve one's sanity in this erratic minded, windy and stormy world. It will surely reflect one's strength and weaknesses.
I'm meeting the Mayor of our beloved city today, heard he's gonna promote me one step higher. Shaven but still indecisive on what to wear. Do I wear my QUIT COAL!!! jersey? Do I want to be demoted instead? or maybe my Jimi Hendix shirt from a generous classmate... Maybe i'll just check out some Levi's jeans by the mall downstairs and also pass by Tommy's booth too. Nah...i'm not into Nike, just bought a pair of Adidas football studs last month, been playing Ultimate Frisbee since January, trimmed down a bit actually, feeling more sexier and endurance wise...yeah. ..
I guess i'll just take it one step at a time. Finish this missive, take a shower and choose from a wide array of 2-3 year old clothes in my closet. Put on my favorite worn out trousers, admire myself in the mirror (yeah...i do that just to keep my sanity...hehehe) and play even for a while with little Alyssa before leaving hoping that my 12 year old car won't break down on my way to the office...
PS
This was actually a response to someone (won't mention his name) from one of my egroups who posted something about shopping and giving advise (supposedly) on which place is cheaper, how many pieces he bought, how much if converted to our local currency... which is totally unsolicited. That's the reason why this global warming, summer hurricane, levi's, tommy, and Nike came into the picture if you get my drift...
