Okay, so I had a pretty bad day and I need to complain. I have made reading this entry optional so if you click the Continue reading “Bad then worse, good then bad, good then bad” button be prepared for me to have a good long whinge about my bad sucky sucky sucky bad day!
Three stories, with very original titles; “Bad then worse”, “good then bad” and “good then bad”. Pretty cool huh? Nope, I know, but I needed to get this out of my system. :-(
Bad then worse, good then bad, good then bad. It’s the story of my life. Every time something good happens something bad happens straight after to ruin it. Every time something bad happens, well, nothing good happens to fix it.
Today, I saw my ex-girlfriend [name withheld] at the mall. I don’t like her, she is a bit of an undesirable now and her choice in friends/boyfriends is totally wrong. But when I saw her I didn’t look at her, I just walked straight inside to get the film because we were going to the zoo (I’ll tell you about the zoo in a minute). Half way to the door I heard her and her friends laughing. For some reason that just made me feel gutted and that horrible feeling stuck with me all day. It’s not because I have feeling for her, because I don’t, in fact the opposite, I actually decided months ago that I no longer wished to have any contact with her what so ever. But for some reason it made me feel so small. Actually, I think it came from breaking up with Kate. I think that gave me a feeling of inadequacy, which was reinforced by [name withheld] laughing at me.
So that was my “bad then worse” story. Here is one of my two “good then bad” stories.
I was walking around the hardware store with my little brother who was buying supplies for his snake enclosure. I saw a little plant that looked like, but wasn’t quite a Bonsai. I thought to myself ‘you know what Mitch, a really nice Bonsai would look cool in your room’. I left there and went to the nursery just out of town and bought a “Bonsai starter kit”. It was supposed to include everything you need to start your own Bonsai, including the plant itself. There was no plant! Man that was ripped off. I only found out two minutes ago too and I had been thinking all day about taking some nice photos of it for the weblog and finally having something interesting to write about, but now I have to wait until tomorrow.
Normally a one day wait wouldn’t mean anything, but when it’s always this way. It’s never good then good, or even good then better. No matter if something goes good something worse always happens to counteract it. Then I wake up feeling positive and the world decides to throw me another curve ball.
Good then bad number 2: Josh (my little brother), Sarah (his girlfriend) and I got really bored today and decided to go to the Zoo. I am lucky enough to live within a few kilometers of one of the worlds leading zoos and possibly Australia’s best zoo. I got a bug in my butt and decided I wanted to take some photos. I grabbed my mum’s camera (because I recently sold my digital) and put some film in it.
Man it felt good to take some nice photos. So wholesome to get out and have a nice day seeing animals and other cool stuff like that. Anyway, when I got home I was moderately satisfied that I had probably taken at least a few nice photos, because I took about 80-something photos throughout the day. I got home and dad says to me, “why didn’t you take my camera?” My dad has the nicest camera. It is gorgeous and it has the most awesome zoom lens. Man that just put the last nail in the coffin. I have practically no money left and rather then spending my last dollars on some really nice photos, I took the other camera and got some average photos.
Normally that’s not a big deal either, but it just feels like everything that can go wrong does go wrong. I feel like no matter how hard I try I just can’t get on top of things and get a run of luck going my way. The hardest part is I keep telling myself that if I am positive and keep my chin up that good things will come my way. Well I wake up every morning with enough energy to take on the world and a smile from ear to ear and then I take a step out the door and everything goes wrong. It just sucks and I really am just so sick of it. I don’t know how many days like today I could take in a row.
I know all the things that happen are small things on their own, but when it is just one bad thing after another it is just hard to cope with. If you have clicked the link and listened to me bitch, thanks heaps, it is nice to know that there are some people reading this weblog who actually care enough to hear me complain.
Yeah, I know that feeling, getting up in the morning, at the time you set your alarm for, instead of 30 mins before (YAY! maximum sleepage!). Get ready on time to go out, and then my sister is late, and so i miss the train, so the person I am meeting is annoyed cos now they are gonna be late. Then there is the tension, because they missed an important appointment or something, which leads to arguements because you both feel stressed, when you finally get home after a long day of tense silences and loud fights, you are stressed and exhausted, but can’t sleep, so the next day starts bed, and if you hang around the person you saw the previous day, it starts to snowball, til you take a break from seeing anyone, if you see another friend, you release your stress through them. This carries on until you have lost all your friends, unless you realise what is happening and stop it before it gets to that.
