THE ADVENTURES IN UNPAID INTERNING - WORKING TITLE.

       I know a woman. She drives a big red truck. Whenever she takes the truck out for a drive, no matter where she goes, people tend to look at her. Some stare out of awe from the beauty and sheer size of the machine. Some stare out of jealousy as they wish to be in the driver's seat of this vehicle. Some stare out of some preconceived notion that a woman should not be driving such a magnificent car. Each reason comes with its own distinct stare and I laugh anytime I see these things because they don't know the struggles that came before the acquisition of such a splendid ride so they only judge by what they see on the surface - A woman driving a big red truck.      There's nothing special in women driving.

Bottom line is, these shows made me the isolated and cartoonish human that many people have come to know and partially love - I think. Everybody who is a...

        Don't you miss it? The time your naivety was looked over as childish innocence. The period when walking home from school and getting a free ride home from a stranger was not a rare feat. When you could be lazy and carefree without the sinking feeling of your own mortality drowning your every moment. Where in the sake of making money, we resort to deceitful and hurtful means just for the sake of making 'paper'.  Can we go back to the time when passion outweighed profit? And the pursuit of happiness was not tainted by capricious capitalism. Is it a fool's dream to want a world where the means must and should always justify the end.       Don't you miss it? That security blanket you had in the form of a family member, extended or immediate, whom you were sure would protect you as one of theirs. So when did it all go wrong? When did we lose that blanket or rather when did that blanket stop performing it...
