oh giving me the silent treatment is it, very well…
well today is a glorious day in corona lockdown land, people are starting to realize the seriousness of this situation, about time really, it’ll be a harsh lesson for many. I’m doing very well, it’s currently raining in Monte Grappa, i just got back from the shop. Stupid family members forcing me to go outside because they cancelled their shopping trip today, i usually go and pick up the food in the early hours around 6am, as they live fairly close. However, today i had to go it alone, i put two masks on, one surgical and the other one more of a higher quality with a filter, i also wore plastic gloves. Much to my surprise the shop assistant was doing the same, which is good, because the last time i saw him ,which was a week ago, he was unprotected. I felt sorry for him, momentarily, i contemplated buying him a mask, but then i thought i can not allow emotion to interfere with my rational mind and i must limit contact at all costs. Besides, he is of a lower working class, the type who are fairly disposable, i highly doubt that anybody would even notice if he passed away.
The city is currently on major lockdown as nobody was to be seen, seemed like a ghost town with an uncanny resemblance to a horror movie, but i love it, it gave me a serene peacefulness, the air seems a lot clearer too, so go figure. I decided that humans are genetic pollution, there’s no denying this fact any longer. I am born out of aristocracy, into a wealthy upper class family, so money and work was never something i ever had to worry about. I do a lot of graphic design, which i get paid for so i consider it a type “work” of sorts, but not really, it’s really a hobby of mine, i would still do it regardless of the money because i derive pleasure from the creative process. One who is born into such a privileged position must find a way to acquire meaning or else one can stagnate into destruction.
ironically, self isolation and self distancing is something me and my family had be practising since the day i was born, in fact it’s the behaviour of those who occupy a higher position on the social structure, this is instinctively known among them, and is a contributing factor to their social success and genetic legacy. So for me, there isn’t much suffering regarding it, it appears to be a normal fine day.
I have been in contact with my ole pal Aaron recently, a friend of a similar background that i grew up with, even though he has the same privilege he still chooses to do some work in the medical field for now, his family maintains successful real estate businesses, which is probably something Aaron himself will pursue as he also has a degree in that field, more than likely just taking over family business.
Anyways, during this time, he has agreed to stay in contact with me and reconcile our friendship back into what it once was, we decided upon revisiting our past shared interest, gaming. Ah the wonderful world of warcraft, there’s been a few expansion packs released over the years so there is much to explore, battles to be engaged in and dungeons to be raided! I have a lvl 120 demon hunter so ill be looking forward to playing that role, and of course starting a new character to ignite the entire gaming experience once again.
