Had a Bad Day, Taking One Down...

Shit day. Shit shit shit. Gay gay gay.

Weekend consumed by studying. ID lost. Shitty Chemistry exam. iPod stolen.

That was the third MP3 player I've lost.

Spent most of tonight fuming about my iPod and exam grade, and basking in angry metal ambience. I guess things overall could be going much worse, but that's no excuse for the way things have been going.

Is that selfish thinking? Can you really be happy with any failures or shortcomings in your life, just as long as you're not a unnamed teenager in Sub-Saharan Africa dying of AIDS? I don't think so. You can't constantly compare yourself to the people who have stations in life below yours. That's why I'm not convinced whenever somebody gives that familiar sermon. Where does your perspective go to if you're always looking over your shoulder? On the flip side, you'll never be happy if you compare yourself to people above and out of your league. The only person you can justify yourself against is you. Man, I'm on fire with these cliches.

In any case, things could be better, could be worse. But they suck something fierce right now and that's life. I guess the key is to suck it up and spit it back out the next time life hands you lemons. Like Mr. Chamillionaire says, this is going to be one rocky road.
