A Life Lesson

Have you ever noticed how life is just an endless string of disappointments? There's always something there to bring you down.

Whether it's not having money, not having a girl/boyfriend, not having a job, or not knowing where you're going in life, it's all disappointing.

The best is when your "friends" take you for granted. When they need you for something, you're a cool person who they get along great with. But when you don't serve a purpose for them (a ride when they're drunk or sober, help on homework, being someone to vent to when their boy/girlfriend is being a jerk, rent payments, etc), you might as well be the blackest of the black sheep in the herd.

Or when you're "friends" don't have the common decency to tell you things that affect your future. Like looking for an apartment without telling you, deciding who's all living in this new apartment without you, and then signing the lease without telling you, so you're left with no place to live, and no one to live with. And then having them look you in the face and say "I'm sorry." No, you're not. If you were sorry, you would've told me up front. But I digress...

Work, school, whatever, it's all disappointing. Tuition rates are going up because of budget problems. And by the time I'm out of college the job market is going to be about as good as The Rock's last movie.

So here's my challenge: find something, one thing, in your life that doesn't disappoint you, and never lets you down. A person, a pet, a hobby, whatever. Find that one thing that no matter what happens, you can be around it and be happy no matter what. Because if you can find that thing, all of the other disappointing shit in your life will become bearable.

And if you happen to find it, let me know. Because I'm still searching.
