“Money Wandering”

So.. After several awkward days (see: Wednesday’s randomness, Friday’s depression, Saturday’s wildness), I’m once more left with no money at all, extremely hangover and ready to burst by anger (for some unexplainable reason). Yesterday, how unfortunate, I arrived back to my hometown where I’ll spend the rest of the week.

Well spending that last night in my home was out of question of course. But where could I go without any money at all? Don’t know really. Yet I went out anyway. And on my own too since everybody was exhausted by Saturday’s partying.

Anyhow I’m hungry. (Despite the present tense it’s about Sunday night since I’ve made this entry in my mind as I was walking around and wrote it down on Sunday night too.) And I wanna smoke too. Badly. Like really, really badly. Maybe that’s why I’m so furious and unable of putting up with anything today. For the first I could cook at my home. But I’m bored. And I’m hungry for MacDonald’s.

I wander around the city on my own. No certain destination or anything. Most likely no certain route to follow too. I just walk around silently, drowned in my thoughts. Meanwhile, lamely I look out for money. No luck honestly.

I wonder though; how comes and I find no money at all on the streets? Where have the days gone when I would find money all the time? When I could make a living out of it if I liked to. No kidding. I used to find like fifty box per day when I was in C..

So what happened now? Did people start being careful with the way they are “storing” their money in their bags and pockets? Or maybe they have no money at all to lose in the first place? On the other hand could the people wandering the streets in hope of finding money have become more than ever before? Who knows..?

Still I really wish to find some money right now. Five bucks are enough. Just for a packet of cigarettes. But I’ve been walking around for a pretty long while already and I had no luck at all.

By now, I’m in the biggest square of C. passing by a fountain there. Funny thing; that fountain used to be full of coins (no, I wouldn’t take them anyway). Coins thrown inside by people who would make wishes. What has happened? All those people have stopped believing in the fountain-wishes? I know I have though. Long ago.

“They say that when you’ve lost all faith, something will happen to restore it back.”

That’s what I’ve heard. But at the same time they say that only if you believe strongly in something it might happen. Yeah.. Confusing I know.. What are we supposed to do? Believe or not believe..?

It’s ironical. Just like there’s Murphy’s Law (you can never find what you look for) and at the same time people claim that when you want something badly then the whole universe itself schemes so you can get it.

Gosh. Shouldn’t we make up our minds instead of confusing everyone with those sayings..?

Anyhow little do I care which of them is more prominent to happen. Most probably both. For now all I know is that as I walking around, thinking exactly this I notice a packet of cigarettes on the street; Brand new and sealed. And it was my brand too!

Guess my lucky star still shines..?

P.S.: I’m sorry I’m late putting the post up. Normally, by today I should have posted another on Monday-Tuesday, but unfortunately my internet connection here is totally messed up. I’ve been trying to upload this since Monday with no chance at all. There will be pictures too as soon as I go back because I can’t upload them either..
