ok. so i didn’t have to format my computer because there are actually nice people on the cyber world who have the generosity to put up tech support forums and help random strangers for free. i am going to write this blog in lower-case and pretend i am e.e. cummings voicing my musings (heh those -ings rhyme). anyway the moral is – shit can be fixed.

let me count on my fingers and toes, the good things that come for free (yeah we need to remember them in these moments of economic crisis).

how about smiling when nice thoughts cross your mind, loving (the one or two people who can actually manage to get through all that debris of what you are not), helping without any selfish intent, appreciating something because it just is, cleaning the loo (no one pays you for that), cooking? oui, making love (unless you’re a hooker or a manwhore), dancing to your favorite music when your family is out, singing in the shower because there’s that nice echo+privacy, playing with soap suds, a pleasant breeze (you don’t have to swipe a credit card then click on the nature-send-some-refreshing-air-this-way button), walking past two lesbians holding each other in a close embrace (that you think, oh God! there is so much love in the world that it transcends gender),

…ok and many more.

obviously i am not out to create an encyclopedia of such examples.

but you get the idea.
