a cry for tuesday





on that Tuesday morning, I had plans, like to see Horrible Bosses at Finchley Road then catch up with Ryan in the afternoon. but the mood that day was pretty sombre and uncertain that I had to postpone my airtight activities. shops were closing early, almost all lexus on display at the car center were taken out of stock, communities such as the one in Clapham were cleaning up the painful mess of the night before. i tuned in to BBC the whole day. we shopped for food and i simply abhor the sight of smashed glass doors at the local supermarket.

during the evening, trouble erupted in other major cities; from the midlands to the northwest. i've been to Manchester several times like during the Pearl Jam Concert in '09 and football at both Old Trafford and City of Manchester Stadium. its city centre is a comforting hub on the way to the Picadilly train station. to think of it being torn apart by lawlessness is appalling. will everything just come to pass? or will society rebuild and learn the essence of right and wrong?
