poeple them and people us.

Ive been obsessing over blogs lately…
Not that this is news… but of late I've been reading some foreign ones…ones logged in by folks living in some other part of the world. I happened to stumble onto one and just followed the links thereafter… kind of a fixation now.
What I’ve come to realize though, is how similar, yet different their lives are from the kind we live here! The only 2 things I've read people fretting about in their write ups are relationships and money issues.
These guys have to work their asses off to earn the kind of cash that’s barely enough for them to survive on. I could never imagine handling two jobs at a time… but its sort of a pre-requisite for survival there. And this is the United states I’m talking about.

Not that I’m living a fancy life here or that I have no financial issues to worry about… but 2 jobs?! Faack! No!

As far as relationships are concerned... well i have only my personal experiences to compare to. And believe me, i don't fret about them too much. That's probably because all of the ones that I'm involved in are secure. The security, i feel is more of a cultural issue. We here, tend to just live through the relationships we form - not that we take them for granted; but it's just that we don't bother looking outside of our relationships for options. (I wonder if I'm making any sense at all, really) The relationships we're currently in are penultimate. This goes for friends, girlfriends, folks ET all! We sort of have a make-do-with-what-you-have kind of an attitude. But then again, this is from what i feel about "us" from what I've learnt through my relationships with people around me.

Weird post.
whatever. yeah. Ughh!
I'm hungry, I'm gonna go snack.
