The Busy Signal of Disappointment

Whats the matter with people. God I feel crumby. Not in the I'm laying in bed and I just ate a pound of cookies and I got pieces all over myself and I'm too lazy to wipe them off sort of way. Have you ever hoped for something and then when you wait for it and it for it, it does not happen. You know the kind of excitement that wakes you up in the morning. Then you go and put on your contacts. But you were so excited that you forgot to put re-wetting drops in your eyes. So as soon as the c0ntacts touch your eyes it feels like someone just stabbed you right through the cornea. You reel over in pain but you can't stop laughing because you are so excited. Damn it. Don't puke in my bowl and tell me it's frosted flakes. Maybe I just don't understand my limitations. Everyone has limitations. I guess that is why some people have come up with this. But come on it's three years away. THESE people, obviously understand patience. Why don't we have an abortion clinic with a nine month waiting period.

But dealing with disappointment is a part of life. So is love and for 50% of the population so is a swift kick in the nuts. But my parents always taught me to be fair and to always appreciate what I had. I remember I wanted this really cool bath toy when I was a kid but they did not get it but they taught me to be thankful for what I had. Granted the bath toy they DID get me was a clock-radio and a long extension cord.
