The same as it ever was

Sometimes the degree to which I experience patterns of exasperating repetition in the general undulation of my life is almost as shockingly nauseating to me as though they were actually nautical.

*Hurl*

It dawned on me though (or I should say it crunched me – as “dawned” implies a warm blanket of epiphanic light, and this was more like being hit by a free-falling refrigerator) that there can be absolutely no doubt with regards to causality: the variables may change, but the only constant in all my failures is me.

But hey, it’s all good. Instantly solves one problem, and I can totally get another QC shirt. Yes, the only thing I like better than my good friend Irony is finding the silver lining in anything.

And besides, losing is a part of life. At least I don’t play for the Miami Heat.

after all is said and done

    FIRST!

    Glad I found your blog El-Bricko – I appreciate your Tycho-esque cynicism in addressing the disappointments that seem to exponentially grow with one’s age. After all, what is a better antidote to the trials of reality than the use of dry humor?

    And yes, keep that comparative bar low – either the Heat, or the Maple Leafs. Ignore how much they get paid to suck though.
