Sean,
I'll say, "Goddamit! The Post Office lost my shoebox of shit for three
weeks!" And you can say, "Alright! The Post Office only lost Hotbuns'
shoebox of shit for three weeks!" But anyway you slice it, that's still
three weeks I had to spend shoeboxless, waiting for my shoebox-of-shit-life
to arrive...which isn't that great when it gets here anyway. And to top it
off, I had to spend $3.20 to send it priority mail!
In response to:
Tomato, tomahto.
I've always thought of the 90's as the
shit-in-a-shoebox-reality-bites-oh-well-whatever-nevermind decade, but our
differing perspectives only serve my point. To the sulking depressive, the
world is lonely, stupid, unappreciative, cruel. To the romantic, it's
beautiful. Take a step back, and it becomes an infinitely complex place,
filled with moral ambiguity and crawling with animals who project their
imaginings and fears upon it, some of whom tend to get a little defensive
when someone points this out to them. Take a long, careful look, Hotbuns200.
Yes, that's right. It's an inkblot!
However, if a pessimistic world view serves your needs, Hotbuns200, by all
means, indulge! This greedy, superficial, injust planet certainly doesn't
give a shit.
