Sometimes people ask me how I'm doing. Most of it is just in passing, but I think there are a few people have some small level interest in my daily life. Ok. Its my mother and I am normally quite annoyed when she asks me how I am doing for a lot of different reasons, but I have developed a standard response that seems to work for me.
"My life doesn't suck." could mean different things, but here is what it means to me.
I have a job. I actually really enjoy about 95% of my job. I will admit that sometimes I feel that it would be better without the customers or my boss but it pays the bills. My math skills aren't what they used to be so I will keep telling myself that customers account for less than 5% of what I do.
NOT the point. My bills are paid. That doesn't suck. I have definitely had my bank account overdrawn before. I have had my phone turned off before and that sucks quite a bit.
I have 3 vehicles plus a snowboard and that is far from suck.
The truck doesn't suck at all. It runs! It halls! and I don't put miles on it for road trips and I am seldom selected as designated driver due to the low seating capacity. Being sober around drunk people does suck.
My bicycle would suck if it were all I had to get me around. I have seen the people riding to work in the bitter cold and rain. That probably sucks. I don't know because I am not poor. see paragraph about the job.
Motorcycle! If you know me then you knew that one was coming. Its like riding a wave runner everywhere you go. The only way to put "suck" and "wave runner" in the same sentence (besides this one) is to say, "It sucks that you don't have a wave runner."
I don't live with my mother. I think you get the picture so we can move on.
I can write my name in the snow and I do every year. You have to do it in cursive, but its easy for me because my name starts with 2 A's. There is alot of backtracking with a letter like "K" or an extreme amount of stopping and starting and that sucks.
I have xbox live and no one complains about how long I've been on it.
I have air conditioning.
and internet
I don't menstruate or cry at everything
I have an extensive Jackie Chan collection. I am watching Rush Hour 2 right now and that doesn't suck like most sequels.
I am in a band. The Guitongo reunion tour will be coming to Indianapolis this July. Mike plays guitar. I play the bongo. Together we are...GUITONGO. Remember it takes 2 to Guitongo.
I haven't even begun to talk about my friends. Well...I wouldn't call them friends, but there are lots of people that I hang out with when I am bored. Most of then don't motorcycles or play xbox live so their lives do suck by direct comparison. And I think that half of them must remember to put the toilet seat down if you know what I'm talking about. I would imagine that jealousy is what prevents us from actually being friends.
Oh well.
At least my life doesn't suck.
Does my life suck bc reading your blog made my day?
