Monday is here with us and I’m yet to get over the fact that the weekend is no longer here with us. As usual I’m experiencing Monday greys. I call them that way because blue is such a cool and vibrant colour to be associated with boring a and tiresome feeling. I’m just relaxing and this crazy thought hits me. There are only two people over the weekend, the loaded and the broke.
Being loaded guarantees maximum satisfaction with niceties dripping in from every corner. Don’t you just enjoy that fun Saturday afternoon in the movies or that trip outside the city? Or it may be that night out with friends and you’re the one throwing the drinks. Everybody can’t help but call you boss!! And the ladies lighten up a bit. All this is garnished with that big boost of confidence and it’s quite sad how it passes very fast and it’s normal business already. Trust me, that’s what I’m experiencing as I write this piece.
It’s all smiles until you migrate to the other side. Just like the way wildebeests migrate from the Mara to the Serengeti, the same is experienced only that there are no greener pastures at this instance. It’s so annoying when you’re stuck fantasizing about the amazing road trip since Mr. broke here would hear none of it. When it’s your sister’s birthday and the best you can do is sending a mere text. It will still mean a lot to her but I wonder what it would have meant if the text was accompanied with those stilettos she has always been obsessed about.
It’s funny that at this juncture the forces of nature also tend to have something against you. This is when it rains cats and dogs, fares sour up to uncontainable levels and you’re stuck at the stage for hours on end. Even the conductor is rude to you. It’s like it’s written all over your face. I’m starting to think that the devil also dislikes broke people. A friend of mine was hanging at this restaurant broke as hell and the guy sitting next to him left his galaxy tab on the table. He was so tempted to pick it up and just when he had decided not to, the owner came back for it. What an embarrassment it would have been. It was a case of the devil trying to save the day but on a very detrimental path.
You would all bear with me when I say that broke doesn’t discriminate at all. I have personally witnessed fully grown men reduced to nothing, their women taken away from them just because they couldn’t afford another round of snap. Have a loaded week now won’t you?
