I wake up, leave the apartment and put my ear phones on while I walk towards the train station listening to one of my favourite playlists. I get to the station, I swipe through the ticket barrier(deeply involved in the music pulsating through my ears). At the platform's edge, I gaze at the advertisements on the opposite side, I ignore the people around me.

The train arrives, I get on - there are no seats available, so I stand, listening to my music - it speaks to me, like a deep conversation with a really interesting person without a face or moving lips. I am, as are many around me, a headphone groovin' slave, commanded by gods of music. For 45 minutes, life halts, engulfed in a state of suspended animation, this jelly medium of uninterested people. My station approaches, I get off and forget everything, faces, sounds - everything as if I was blanking out a particularly bad memory. It falls all behind me as I turn my back to the train a walk out.

I've ignored the world for 45 minutes now, and they've done me the same act. I traverse up the stairs, escalators, ticket barriers that eventually bring me to the light and open air. Refreshed, I move towards the inner city, still listening to the soothing rocking vibes that seem lift me so slightly as I energetically shuffle forward. I get to a building on the road, I gaze up the 30 story sky-scraper, take my earphones out of my ears, regain eye-level view and make my way through to the reception area, before showing my ID and making my way up the escalator and then elevator to my office. As I walk in the door I smile and greet and are greeted as I sit down. I take a deep breath as I lean forward, turn on my monitors and log in, as the last days work floods it's way back into my recollection, I realise. I love my job.

I can't wait to begin again!

Life is what happens while you plan it. Enjoy it now because now disappears tomorrow and tomorrow is the biggest black hole in the universe.
