What do I write about today, without putting myself into a tailspin? The truth? That always seems to be a good way to write.
I could write about gas prices. But can I do it without getting political? It seems to be a little nuts in that area right now. But I can tell you that gas prices were upwards of 4 bucks, and the DAY that Obama got elected as President gas prices dropped steadily until what is it today? About $1.45. That is lower than the price of gas when I was working at Avis - back then it was running $1.65. And it just climbed and climbed as the you know what in the Middle East escalated.
I'd like to think that the lowered gas prices are a sign of good things to come. Good things. You know "GOOD" things? As it is defined in the American Heritage dictionary.
I know this blog was meant to be something a little more stylish and fun, but it's just not coming to me just yet. Does that make me a Bad person? I don't think so. I'm just a guy who is stuck in the middle-class, driving my old 1999 Honda Accord with a cracked windshield that needs to be fixed (yet I try to balance that with medical bills.)
Perhaps I do need a new car. One with a stereo that doesn't talk to me when Im trying to drive. I love my leather interior, but the exterior paint has gone a little blotchy and it's starting to look a little "hoopty" as the kids would say. Maybe that's just what happens when you live in Widefield, Colorado and the construction at exit 132 is diverting Fort Carson into your front yard.
Man, I need some breakfast! I'm getting myself cranky.
The truth is always a good start.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I never thought I'd see gas prices this low again. Ever.
But then again, I never thought I'd ever see the presidential candidate of my choice in office. It's never happened before, but I'm giddy with excitement!
Monday...Monday we make history! Are you going to watch the inauguration?
Rogue, impressive angst! But let it not own you. Disgruntlings abound for all:
ReplyDelete(1) I’m balding.
(2) I grind my teeth at night.
(3) I have a ‘98 Ford Contour. Last year I had to have my passenger side window repaired (it was stuck in the down position). Cost $500. Now I fear using the other three windows at the prospect of another getting stuck.
I humbly suggest that it’s important we accept our humanity. We live in a world riddled with imperfection, man. Let it drive your angst, not you. The imperfections are mere inconveniences, not something that carries the death knell. Proof? Eat a yogurt that is three days beyond it’s expiration. It’s an imperfection, but you’ll prevail.
And if that doesn’t work, just imagine yourself in a steampunk world. But you gotta keep moving.
