rollin...

Time for serious workout after blog-warming. This is supposed to enable free-flowing of ideas, but seem stuck, partly because there is a need to be more critical of what is put down for view, and partly because a topic is not yet decided upon. Notice a lot of passive voices.

Just had the time changed. Was at 7.45AM, probably the default setting.

Experience an overwhelming sense of antisociality at times, and wish to, quoting from a friend's blog from memory, "slip easily into a chameleon's skin to fit into all settings". Nice. No intention of condescendance or disinterest or impassion; wish to talk freely and wind through effortlessly through all the human interactions of the day. No doubt, not easy. Is there anyone who does? Good bye to pretension, restraints, awkward feelings, too-exposed nerve-endings. Glide through gracefully. Or is that precisely the manifestation of the above?

From today's class: 吃大锅饭- egalitarian practice of all "eating from same pot of rice" (courtesy of http://www.xlt.gov.cn/englishstudy/translation/main.htm, cos forgot the proper definition). Analogy given was how the fresh professor of old China used to earn as much as the old-hand sweeper, on a system based on working age. Now salaries are issued based on contributions, or what the country deems as economically, socially, politically or potentially beneficial. Is this solving or causing further disparity?
