Miss Greedy

This situation happened when I was watching The Closing Ceremony of London Olympic 2012 on last August. My obsession of UK is undeniable, either its culture, places, music, end even the sport; I love it, so when it came an event which had so many British musicians (included Blur!!) inside it and held in the-very-british-city London I woke up happily on 02:00 am just to watch the closing ceremony via my only one tv. One little problem started when I realized that there was no Blur performance in that event, and it was confirmed that Blur performance is officially part of London Olympic Closing Ceremony B  U  T it is not gonna be held in Olympic Stadium and it is not gonna be broadcasted by any kind of tv channel in this universe! I was almost die when finally enlightened by one of tweet on my timeline which informed me that Blur will gonna hit the air by BT London Live Radio. Thank God.

With the successful online live radio performance, I muted the tv so I still could watch the glamor ceremony. While I enjoyed those unsynchronized audio-visual event, my phone alarm was ringing wildly with the notes on its screen written as: "sahur" (moslem early breakfast before fasting). So I ended up with my eyes into the tv, my ears stayed with the online radio, while my mouth was busy chewing the breakfast. It was a marvelous busy solo night, young fellas..

Well I always proud of my self for having a special super power what I called get-everything-at-the-same-time. So many success stories that I could not write down here about dealing with my wishes. But now on, being me is so anxious. I lost my super power. There are so many thoughts which dance abruptly on my head. It is about I want that, I want this, well honestly I want them all. Unfortunately each of the thoughts is pulling me into the opposite directions. The greediness has been driving me nuts.

Wouldn't it be fine becoming a greedy one if we do not harm anybody, right? I won't take the universe anyway. But at this time I knew I doubt it. Even my own brain has felt the pain every time I am dreaming some of the thought. However I am still working on it and wishing my super power back. Just like Little Richard ever said, greed has taken the whole universe and nobody is worried about their soul. So yes, I should not care about the soul because I am a (good) greedy. Get evertthing at the same time. Inhale... Exhale...
