the story: i have been studying for 5 days and i feel a bit more charitable toward my fellow man though i am not as far advanced in my revision as i had hoped (but then what is satisfaction?). i am growing fearful for my dear fellow blogger as his vitality is sapped by the evils of job-hunting and thoughts of no longer smoking. poor old worker matt. the hopeful bum. most likely he will be spared of idleness soon enough.
