On Writing and Happiness
Hi there, my name is Bela. I’m just another cat, but that’s not going to stop me from living the life of my dreams. It may appear to be a stretch for someone with thin whiskers like me, but it’s my life and I’m going to live it the way I choose.

The Good Freaks
Dear Corporate Freaks of America, Are you high? I ask this in all sincerity and with the utmost respect because I simply can't wrap my head around what a shitshow the American workplace is today. After graduating from university, it didn't take long to see just how perverted corporations in America treat the workplace and their employees. I'd heard about the drudgery of minimum wage jobs, like fast-food service, and I always assumed those jobs sucked because of the work itself and the small paycheck, but I was wrong. These jobs suck because of you, Corporate America, and your belief in keeping workers at arm's length, treating them like potential threats to your security. What the hell?

Has it ever occurred to you that a famous song came to your mind and you suddenly had the urge to swing the melodic line whistling? If so, and you have had an older grandmother or aunt, it is possible that one of them stopped you dramatically, desperately, in the full artistic act. "It's not good to whistle at home": that may have been the only explanation given to you.
