The Down Cycle

posted Tuesday, 18 September 2007
I have a friend who, if I told her I was in a car accident, killed a dog in the process, got 100 stitches and totalled my car, would respond with "but when you think about it, there are soooo many other people with worse problems, and you know, at least you don't have cancer..."

I KNOW everything in my life is basically good - everyone is healthy and we're solvent.  I know this.  I also know that someone always has it worse.  I'm just sooooooo f(*&ing tired of hearing someone say this when what I really need is a little peace, love and understanding.  Is it so much to ask?  Me thinks not.

Without going into the boring details of my life, suffice it to say that we're in a "down cycle".  Have you seen the movie "She's The One"?  Great movie with a neurotic, megalomaniacal character who always talks about his "down cycles".

That's where I am today.  Hopefully I'm inspired tomorrow. Today?  I'm going down the rabbit hole.  Ta ta.
