Damn snowy day...
Damn car broke down and had to be towed to the mechanic...
Gonna be damn expensive.
This after spending $500 on the truck just last week for a new catalytic converter.
Damn this has been an expensive year for our vehicles...
Damn snowy day.
Damn I'm tired.
But... at least I have Friday off!!

It's interesting how one person can tell you what a horrible friend you are, while another tells you just the opposite. Of course, the first friend in question is shallow and unrealistic... guess it speaks to a pattern, doesn't it?

Do you ever wonder what might have been? I do. I am.
Is this all? Is this it?
Geez, is this a mid-life crisis or what?

Why is it that when you have nothing but the best of intentions, everything blows up in your face? Those you try to help (often at THEIR request) end up being the ones to shut you out. Tends to make you not want to lend a helping hand... to anyone... ever.

So many times I've wondered "what would happen if I could go back" to an earlier time... right now, that earlier time would be about six months... before I convinced one of my best friends to move to Colorado. Before that subsequent move eventually caused the loss of our friendship. Before my wife tried to help out a friend with a car. Before that become a $16000 mistake.

Why help, if the only result is your own personal pain, grief, and suffering?
Life is too short.
