Let's hope today is better, because yesterday SUCKED

[The Fake Shemp]

While my living situation became a little less unsettled, my ankle swelled to the size of a softball due to a previously sustained injury, my promotion has been delayed and a childhood friend died.  Plus, my hometown baseball team gave up the questionable home run record to Barry Bonds.  And I ran out of toilet paper.

[Ichirou]

I'm depressed too, man.  I'm lonely.  Let's hug.

[CajoleJuice]

I guess you really aren't God's chosen people.

At least not since you killed Jesus.

[The Fake Shemp]

The loss of my friend hit hard, despite us being just acquaintances in recent years; everything I've heard from him has been through a mutual third-party.

I do feel like I'm being tested - I'm not quite sure why all these dominoes have fallen at once.  But fuck this shit.  I'm not going to feel sorry for myself.

Tomorrow, I'm going to work.  Then I'm going to write.  Wait, I'm going to get groceries.  Then I'm going to write.  I don't need anyone or anything, and I'm not going to mope around to shitty pop music while wearing out my bangs like some reject for "Who Wants to Be the Lost Member of Good Charlotte?"

If there's some omnipresent, benevolent creator out there whose sole purpose is to dick with me to prove a point or make a cosmic joke - then I'm not going to let him push me around.  And if there's not, then I'd glady take out vengeance on his crazed followers, starting with Phoenix Dark and the rest of his home schooled brethren.

[CajoleJuice]

But really, sorry dude.

[The Fake Shemp]

I feel like it's just been one thing after another recently, so while it hit me, it was like I was expecting the other shoe to drop.

I won't even mention that my family is falling apart back home.  My sister IM'd me with the details - nobody has returned my calls.

I don't get it!  I abide by most of my cultural and religious traditions, never break the law, cross the street at crosswalks, help women in distress (almost got my ass kicked for that this week), open the door at public places for women and children, always courteous to everyone, help the elderly on to public transportation, etc.

I literally try and be the best person I can be on a daily basis.  I sometimes fuck up and I'm not perfect, but I'd like to think that in this mediocre, apathetic country we call America, I'm one of the few folks that actively look out people other than myself.

[Ichirou]

I know exactly how you feel.  I know I can be a dick on this forum, but in real life, I try to be a good person.  And then shitty thing after shitty thing happens to you and you wonder wtf you did to deserve it.  I had a really bad year last year on a personal level, and it fucked me up for a looong while.

[The Fake Shemp]

Eh, I'm more venting than creating a self-pity parade.  Tomorrow (well, today), I'll wake up in five hours, eat my wheaties, put on my polo shirt and go to work.  And I like the weather right now, so at least I can take that.

I'm not going to get down on myself or let all this crap dictate my actions.  I think I've learned a hard lesson this year that emotional decisions are usually the worst kind, if not the worst kind.  But, man, what a fucking month.  If I had a wider group of guy friends, this would be the weekend where I'd go to a strip club and drink enough pints of ale to make the strippers actually attractive.

[Ichirou]

Just remember, it's okay to feel sad sometimes. :T

[The Fake Shemp]

Fuck that noise - I'm going to channel all my sadness into rage

[Ichirou]

I don't get why some people are so angry online.  It's like they ball up all their real-life frustrations and then take them out on random people online.

[BlueTsunami]

Running out of TP? Thats like God adding insult to injury. Sucks dude

[Bloodwake]

Wow, TP shortage. Goddamn, that's like taking a shit on a pile of... well, shit.

Sorry dude, hopefully things go better, and sorry about the loss of your friend.

And fuck Barry Bonds.

[demi]

I've wiped my ass with a magazine before. It sucks.

[TVC15]

If you run out of TP, find a bible somewhere.  The paper used for the pages is thin enough that's it's not as painful as the other alternatives.

[Phoenix Dark]

I made a thread about that on Mupepe...too bad the site is dead

Keep your head up Willco. I don't get the feeling you're craving pity right now, which is cool. You're on the right path and working hard so things will get better.

btw when you say "write", are you referring to your screenplay?

[MrAngryFace]

PD reads like Yahoo Horoscopes

[bud]
