being poor…ruth version

June 28th, 2007

poverty herein is a term i’d like to define relative to my situation. economically speaking i’m poor of course but not quite the world bank’s definition of poor, i.e. people living on 2 dollars a day. yes i’m pretty thankful to God i’m surviving beyond the world bank definition.

i’m poor too on two other aspects right now. i’ve a low IQ and EQ. in an hour and a half my paper in philosophy of social science is due and what am i doing blogging because there’s just nothing in my brain i can dig worth putting in a soc sci philo paper. i’m stuck with the definition of this concept i’m working on.bottomline, i’m philosophically impoverished. philo knowledge is six feet under.add to this the fact that i don’t like the subject since 10 years ago. what we have here is worthless IQ and EQ equals no paper accomplished in less than 2 hours, meaning i’m busted.

hmm, blog.it’s supposed to make me happy that i have another channel for expressing myself (ewe!) but it turns out it’s fast becoming a source of yet another slight depression. i realized too, thanks to the eloquently written blogs of my friends, that i am i suffer from creative poverty. i just cannot be a writer. i can think creative but it never gets translated to writing because i cannot sustain my thoughts ( i think i whined about this before…well it gets to me again these days ).

i need a cup of coffee. i can afford it. i live beyond the two dollar a day budget remember? only this cup i’m taking won’t do anything but to worsen my already deficient IQ and EQ.

    I smiled when I read the philosophical poverty paragraph. Reminded me of someone we used to talk about, eh?

    But c’mon, ruth. You are beyond all that.
