2nd shift.. I love 2nd shift.. or atleast compared to the other two 14:00-22:00 is far more better. I can do tons of things that makes me alive before i descend into oblivion yet again. Besides, there is far less 'bata' using the PUV's on that shift especially at 22:00.
Do you know what is my favorite thing at 2nd shift?? Saging Con Yelo! *saliva drool activated* yeah..i love that stuff.. i love its simplicity and complexity at the same time. If your not a food connoisseur like me..let me rephrase that...hmm.. If your not a fat guy like me who lives to taste different kinds of food then i understand if you'll say.. "Banana Con Hielo is just a simple mixture of milk, ice and caramelized banana..how can you say its complex?"...."Dude...im not talking about the mixture..its the texture in our bacteria infested (in my case, nicotine, tar and bacteria infested) mouths that is the point.." As you may have noticed..once you take a sip of this oozing delightful beverage you will immediately feel the careful heterogeneous blending of the warm and the cold. The Rich Starchy Strong Caramelized Banana with the simple almost bland taste of milk. The not so crushed ice pushing its way to your mouth like a snatcher stalking his stupid student prey..can you not feel its irony? Yet within this irony..you find balance...blending...and sheer harmony almost to the point that you'll say 'Damn! That's Good!'
As you may know..banana con hielo is not the only thing that is simultaneously harmonious and chaotic in this world. You can see that in nature itself. The adrenaline rush of a pack of wolves hunting its prey. The Chaotic laceration of the warthog's perreneum... the blood curdling scream of the prey...its death cry bouncing off from the mountains... while a wolf sink its teeth to its belly. The smell of warm blood fills the air that entices more wolves to join the feast.. trashing...screaming..howling...pushing..and tugging the corpse while the sweet calorie filled meat and blood slithers down their throat..they feel a wam rush of energy..as they devour the warthog. More chaos ensues until a carcass is left. Stench, death and decay looms. As death has taken its hold on the soil, minerals and rich carbons seeped down to the earth. A seedling finds its way to the rich soil coming from the feces left from the dead warthog... time went by indescriminately... until we see an imposing figure standing in the very spot of death. A tree with its arms stretched high above the lofty heavens. As mighty as the mountain yet as simple and benign as clouds. A quintessential Harmony, Balance, and Life...
Never ending cycle of Life and Death... the balance of two opposing forces.. never ending fight yet none can exist without the other..
It really is inspiring to see it in your mind..to know that all forces no matter how opposed still exist harmoniously with one another. We, as human beings the self proclaimed Masters of Nature still have a lot to learn from our so-called slaves. Number 1, Nature has no master..number 2 if you mess with Nature then you will suffer a most horrific consequence of your stupidity. Number 3, Nature has existed since time immemorial, it exists now and will exist beyond us.
Now that we have delved too much into oblivion, to greed, to avarice, to pride and vanity, i fear that it maybe too late for all of us. For millions of years we depended on Nature, she provided us food, water, energy, shelter. Nature's hand out stretched to nurture us as she nurture our neighbors. But what do we do to repay that kindness? We bit her hand off like an ungrateful bastard..it is rather pitiful for us humans to go against nature. We should have known that the consequence will be disastrous. For all the things that we value in this temporary existence, none surpass her might. Retribution will be swift. Our proud cities will bow. Billions dead. Societies will collapse. Humans will burn, freeze, drown with water or earth. All shall recognize the blinding might of nature.
Survivors of this..unimaginable horror shall rise up to a new world cleansed of the filth of humans. Then they shall see another beginning of life..
