Adventures And Moody Mondays

Ladies and gentlemen, a surefire way to kick start any somber Monday is by leaving your keys inside a locked car. This also serves as a reminder to never pursue gloomy thoughts/visions while driving to work, because seriously folks it throws everything out of whack.

Welcome to another week. What would have quickly escalated into a disastrous day for me was saved thankfully by all the TV I watched when I was a kid. I thought about panicking, decided not to, and went and bought a nice long metal ruler.

Okay, so I lied. I bought THREE rulers, because you never know (plus because I broke a friend's in the process of trying). Anyway, thanks to the aforementioned TV, all it took was 10 seconds with the long metal ruler and I was again in posession of said keys.

Sometimes you wish life's other problems would be as easy to fix.

Like the fact things that shouldn't still bother you do, or that some facets of your life will never truly be yours again. There's no multi-tool or magic ruler to fix those, no matter how hard you look. And no matter how good you are at video games, no amount of thumb dexterity or peripheral vision enhancement will help.

Some things will suck regardless of how you look at it. They'll suck today, tomorrow and ten years from now, when you think they're done with the sucking. And as always, there's not much you can do about them except treat them as the sometimes irritating, more often saddening milestones (or kilometre-stones, if you're Brit) you have to pass through as you go towards paying the ultimate cost of living.
