I am bad luck

I really am the epitome of bad luck. A few weeks ago, I lost my wallet. Credit card, drivers license, and about $40. I just received my replacement license a few days ago, and guess what happen when I went to start my car today? It won't start!!!! I am absolutely certain I didn't leave my lights on overnight. In fact, the battery is just weak (dim lights, slow windshield wiper). Doesn't even have the decency to die on me. This is just one of the example of what I befalls me on a weekly basis. On the other hand, my friends around me always seem to be doing just fine. I always tell them: "Your future is well and secure. How do I know this? Because you know me, that's why." I take people's bad karma away.

Truly, I am cursed.

Keep a positive attitude.... trust me.... it really, truly makes all of the difference in the world.

Yeah, to quote Qui-Gon Jin -

"Your focus determines your reality."

Focus on the positive and things will be great. Dwell on the negative and things will suck ass.

You probably live on the first floor, so you can't even jump to your death. Count your blessings. You don't have cancer, and you don't have AIDS. Life could be worse. You could have been working for Enron...

... or you could've been screwed over by Enron.

Those two statements are basically the same thing...

You might just have a bad connection to your battery. Bad luck is a bunch of crap, my friend--don't let the Man get you down.

And attitude is everything, but that doesn't mean that a positive outlook can solve any problems. Some days just suck, and the best thing you can do (if you can even get the car to start to go home from work) is just go home and pass out, and pray the next day is better. However, if you just accept that life is is just a big turd that you believe can never be shined, well, you are screwing yourself, because life can be a beautiful thing.

As corny as it sounds, and it is corny, I think like Annie, the sun will come out tomorrow. I think that was Annie, but you get the idea--you just keep trying, and eventually things get better.

I've been there man. It just keeps getting worse and worse until nothing else could go wrong and then Oops, you spoke to soon.

It will pass. Then you can only hope the good things start rolling in like that. They almost never do, but it does get better. Just know that no matter how bad things are, as long as you can, eat, sleep , drink, and breathe. Things could always get worse.

Here's one for ya.....

We're leaving together
but still it's farewell
and maybe we'll come back,
to earth, who can tell?

I guess there is no one to blame
we're leaving ground (leaving ground)
will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown.

The final countdown.

Oh, We're heading for Venus
and still we stand tall
cause maybe they've seen us
and welcome us all
with so many light years to go
and things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown.

The final countdown.

The final countdown (final countdown).

oh...oh

The final countdown.

oh...oh

It's the final countdown.

The final countdown.

The final countdown. (final countdown)

It's the final countdown
we're leaving together
the final countdown
we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown (final countdown)
oh, it's the final countdown.

Oh, yeah, that's much f***ing better. Thanks.

Okay, how about this one?

This is the song that enver ends, it just goes on and on my friends,
some people started singing it, not knowing what it was,
but they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the song that never ends...

Yeah, that was the reaction I was going for.

Here is a song for ya.....

Cool Song

Quit acting like a bunch of...

Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
And every night the men would come around
and lay their money down..
[repeat]

Just thought I'd Cher that with you.

I hate you.

Rather than the epitome of bad luck, you strike me as the epitome of Murphy's Law.

Hey, you're new--welcome

Yeah, she is a regular on the VA boards and is a pretty cool person.
