Typhoon Friday
What the hell has happened? Storm force winds and that bloody rain is back again. Why? What have we done to deserve this? At least this morning the London bound train was kind of empty which is a rarity. Though there were group of mouthy youths who were allegedly speaking in English but that is debatable - I worry for the future and what we will become.
A nation of illiterates, with no drive or ambition. So this journey is somewhat tame in comparison to my usual one i.e. packed like the sardines in a can. Well I can’t believe this week has gone so fast, and come Monday it’ll be back to work as usual ◔_◔

To End my post on a happy note - I chanced upon a website a few days ago called I Found Money Today. Owned by George Resch, the website is dedicated to his ‘Social Experiment In Anonymous Giving’. The premise is simple: he leaves small amounts of money in public places with the idea that someone will find the money.
He has no control over who finds it or what they do with it. However, just by initiating this random act of kindness he makes a difference to the lives of other people - changing their mood, giving them a spike of emotion and maybe providing them with a sense that they’re not alone in the world. I think we can be sure that through his social experiment he has affected a number of people in a positive way, and who knows what might have happened as a result of that. It’s not just about George either; through his blog he has inspired other people to try it.
