somewhere along the line i took a step backwards

yesterday was a sad day of realisation that somewhere along the path of life, i moved backwards a couple of steps instead of forwards somehow and im not really sure where it all changed. saturday last week was an amazing day of tons of free champagne, food, great friends around etc at launch party of restuarant- where we felt like lame (only in durban) celebrities etc etc you get the point. but yesterday i found myself working at one such similar event, serving the every people that i was meant to be like. sniff. it was a camel experience party; 16 specially invited elite members were in for luxury spa treatments of full body hour long massages and another foot treatment, as well as access to any of the other spa facilities (sauna, steamroom etc) while i served them endless champagne, snacks and free cigarettes. sigh. so they got pampered and spoilt and sat around in toweling robes while i ran around ensuring they were boozed enough. the really sad thing is that i make pittence from this work, but my level of desperation has sunk to a new low so i get happy about any money. i hate being part of a capitalist economy and am beginning to understand why some crazies run off into the bush to create their own moneyless self sustaining worlds. sometimes i could join. whats funny is i wouldnt care about my money situation if i were a vip. ha. this shallow pool world we live in.
