I've been feeling down in the dumps lately so I hope you guys could bear with me for awhile. When I do get enough time to sit and enjoy some silence, I tend to over analyze things and my mind gets all stirred up like chop suey. What's even more sad is the fact that it's the inedible kind of chop suey, so I am not only sad,but I am hungry sad.
Sometimes I try to gain some perspective when I have those lackluster days. Sometimes life puts you in circumstances wherein you just don't know how to deal with it. It's like someone slapping you in the face with a dead fish but right at that very moment, you know that you just freeze from where you stand because you totally didn't see that coming. And then once it sinks in, you play everything over and over in your head, thinking what you could have done instead or what you shouldn't have done.
So what do you do? Ah. There was once a wise man that wore a top hat and a walking cane who said "Keep Walking". I know my alcohol-friendly buddies are very familiar with this man named Johnnie.
This perspective could be applied to any circumstance, mind you. And no, it doesn't mean it's normal for you to get slapped randomly across the face with a dead fish. It could be about a relationship on the rocks (friendly or intimate), a career that has failed to launch or even both.
Sometimes I envy people who are always happily posting happy pictures of their happy lives and happy adventures and happy travels. Damn you, Facebook. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for everyone else who's happy, but I'm wondering if it's possible that in the near future, can I finally get some of that happiness too? I don't know, one day I'm so content with what I have and on other days I'm like..what the heck, why don't I have this or that?!
If you've never felt the way I'm feeling, then good for you. I don't know. I'm writing this for the sole purpose of venting out so you can unlike this post if you want. I give you my permission, only for now though. But when I get back on my feet, I expect you all to be liking this post or I will hunt you all down, one IP address at a time. Wait, don't run away...you know I'm just kidding. *big grin*
Anyway, nothing better than good music to soothe the aching soul.
Annie Lennox- Waiting In Vain
Queen and David Bowie- Under Pressure
Amy Winehouse- Help Yourself
And this one's for my dance moves in the shower..
Black Eyed Peas- Don't Stop The Party
Oh and FYI, I know you're probably putting on your thinking caps on and wondering what's going on with me... sorry to burst your soapy bubble but I'm glad to say that the architect and I are not engaged in a cage fight. No Ultimate Fighter moves here. Yey for that!
I hope the heavens can see me dancing in the shower so maybe they can give me a break! =)
Toodles! =)

I know. I feel like I could use a Carebear right about now. Hahaha!
DeleteFacebook is very one sided. You only get to see what the user allows you to see. They could be going on awesome trips, but live in their parent's basement to afford it! While it might seem greener on the other side, it is not alway. Just stop and think about all you DO have, it'll give you some perceptive into how good you do have it.
ReplyDeleteTrue dat. Thanks, Uncle Allen! LOL! =)
