Cobwebs in my head

I think the corporate world has really gotten into me…because for years I’ve neglected the social scene (read: clubbing, bar hopping and the like), let really good movies pass, completely forgot to exercise and try to lose weight. All these I’ve done (or have not done) for a long time. Then on Friday night, I got to go out with some friends and went to that club I used to frequent back in my younger days.  They still play old school music (though now with current tracks), serve the same booze, and still patronized by the same crowd. I guess we all outgrow some things, places and people, but once in a while, it doesn’t hurt to reminisce a little. You realize that somehow you have matured, and that your views now are far different from before. ‘Fun’, as you knew it, has gradually taken a new form.

Then yesterday, I spent the whole day out…walking aimlessly in the mall and beating through the 3-day sale crowd. I still have not gotten over my principle that I should be spending my weekends in this manner because I owe it to myself after days of hard work. More than one-third of my weekday (sometimes even more) is dedicated in the office. I go home tired and drained and only looks forward to sleep.

So today I woke up with cobwebs in my head…filled with confusion, inhibitions and apprehensions. What will my life be after years of this routine? Where does one start to alter his lifestyle? How do you spend your days in the virtual world? One by one I will be clearing these cobwebs, and soon figure out the intricacies of online living…
