How easy it is to slip...

... off of that cliff. We ALLLL know that if you touch fire, you get burnt... yet we place our fingers ever so closely just to see how much it could burn.

Every day I put my makeup on in the car while in traffic getting to work... why? I dunno... Not that I am late for work and hustle out of the house, nor is it a lack of time or anything - just a bad habit. So - I'm almost done... just looking for that eyeshadow I love... when BAM! Yep - I rolled right into the guy in front of me... I usually almost run into the car in front of me, but always look up just in time to slam on the brakes. Well, not this time.
I was so stupefied (stupid?) that I just froze - didn't come out the car, didn't even reverse... just looked like a dummie... The guy came out, looked at his back bumper (when I finally reversed) and just looked around... after about 15 secs he just showed me a hand movement to mean "forget about it". I was scarrrrrrrrrrred and I think it showed. Woof.

I always hear about this happening... and thought that I could never be THAT distracted to actually hit anyone. And how many times does something have to almost happen before we get the point - DON'T STICK YOUR FINGER IN FIRE, DUDE! Geez... It can almost happen 1,000,000,000,000... times and we STILL don't get it... know why? Cuz it never really happened! I guess it has to burn to learn. Oi.

This follows into most things, though... we take things way for granted. Remember Grenada? How many times has a hurricane almost destroyed them? Too many... however, only after getting hit by Ivan they (Grenadians) now take precautions whenever the hurricane season arises... No matter how many times one is told to "beware", how many times do we actually take it on? Cuz it can never happen to you, right? How wrong we can be...

On another note - me cooks! And me cooks kinda wells! Yep - after the spin and abs class, yuh girl drive to Xtra Foods and got herself some chicken, rice and peas... and I stewed them all - voila - lunch for the next two days! I have to stop putting so much curry in every meal I make though... my stew came out just a little too curry-yellow to be really a stew. Hermmm...

So - I have an interview with the International School next week... yep - to be a Teacher. I - all of a sudden - am not that enthused anymore. Too much opportunity/events/progression/money in oil - wanna stay in it. But to do whaaaaaaaaaat?
