Its all a matter of perspective.
Edit: This is what has been occupying most of my time the past few days. For those of you who post at Disaster MB, you probably already know that people were complaining of the outdated/ugly XMB software. So Sarai, Becky and I took it upon ourselves to open a shiny new forum, with a better software system. SMF is so much less bloated than XMB dudes. Go join!
Reasons I’m Already Irritated Before 7am:
-Unknowingly clicking a link that is actually a .PDF file, causing my entire computer to HALT EVERY PROCESS TO OPEN THIS FILE I DIDN’T EVEN WANT TO OPEN.
-Having to go outside in 28º weather (that according to weather.com, feels like 15º) to purchase cigarettes, underestimating the condition of the sidewalk and landing RIGHT ON MY ASS.
-Dreaming I received over a thousand dollars from a relative, and waking up to find the envelope conveniently missing. Thanks, subconscious.
-Being afflicted with oversensitivity to what goes on in the world, and fearing death and disease and misfortune every day of my life, with a side order of Panic and Depression.
-Realizing that if I were stupid and blissfully ignorant like the majority of my generation, I wouldn’t have to worry about the latter everyday.
-The outrageous list of things I need to do, buy, clean, organize and otherwise fix before the move to our new apartment.
Reasons This Is Okay:
-The .PDF file turned out to be a resume that was very well written, to which I will be stealing bits of for my next employment opportunity.
-The delicious taste of my Morning Marlboro as it glides past my tongue, blackening my innards on the way down.
-Realizing that in only a few short months, I’ll have that thousand bucks saved up in order to buy my camera.
-Realizing that my oversensitivity gives me an advantage and a kind of compassion other people don’t have.
-Knowing that the trade off for being stupid and blissfully ignorant would make everything of remote meaning in my life completely void.
-How much all of the cleaning, packing, organizing, buying, and fixing will be worth it when I’m living my dream in the city, with my best friend, beginning a new life.
P.S. The issue discussed in my last (and now deleted) entry has been resolved, and a credit for inspiration link has been placed. No hard feelings. I also am still planning a major restyling of this site, which will take me a couple more days to iron out all of the details with my ridiculous work schedule.
