the best failure day

failure, after failure, after failure, after failure.

it's been that type of day.

it's been the type of day where i think of everything i should have done way after i can change what i did. today is the type of day that i was thankful for the losses that didn't end in brain damage or death. today i didn't have my thoughts straight, my mind right, my words correct, or my perception intact. and i was conscious of the fact that it was an off day - all day long!

if there was ever a day i believed in zodiac, astrology, psychic crap, it would be today.

(inhale) i woke up this morning without the alarm clock, only to roll back over and sleep through my alarm. waking up late, i tried to take a quick 6-minute shower, only to burn myself with the water when i stepped in. then, getting dressed, my shirt was dirtier than i thought it was, my pants were more wrinkled than i thought they were, and i grabbed the wrong belt. later in the day, this would result in me picking lent off my shirt all afternoon, being self-conscious about my jeans, and pulling my pants up every five minutes because my belt was too big. then, after getting dressed, i walked to the train station (a ten minute walk) and realized i forgot my MetroCard. So I had to pay for a temporary one; only the machine didn't read my credit card and i had to use debit. and that wouldn't have been so bad, but when i checked my account later, i found that it charged me twice for the one card i recieved. (exhale)

(inhale) when i got to school, i figured everything would be better because i had the first two periods off - planning periods. i took the time to set up my new overhead projector screen. yet, when setting up the actual overhead projector, the bulb blew out. then the entire projector stopped working. and it was working just 5 minutes before! thats when i realized that i hadn't had breakfast. having a taste for a bagel and crean cheese, i walked across the street. no bagel. no cream cheese. having a taste for some cheesesticks, i walked up the street to the fast food chinese store. not open. no cheesesticks. i then walked up another two blocks so that i could get three packs of handi-snacks and a bottle of water. it should have cost 1.75. i had to pay 2.50. (exhale)

this is just 9:30am.

(inhale) i get back and use the rest of my planning period to actually plan for my classes. i took a good dump right before my first class of the day and things finally started looking up. at the start of thrid period though, i recieved news that the student i've been working with (and have been making alot of progress with) has been suspended for kicking another student in the back in front of a secrurity gaurd. and to add to all the strangeness, my classes (which are usually bouncing off the walls on fridays) were actually good. i don't understand! after school i stick around for a few minutes to get my class in order. those few minutes turned into a procrastinated 3 hours. in which case everything that i needed to do - i did in the last 13 minutes i was there. frustrated, i pack my bag, head to the bar to meet the teachers and order some hot wings. the wings came an hour later. (exhale)

(last inhale) end of the night. i leave the bar and get on the train three blocks away. 20 min into my trip home, i realize that i left my bag at the bar. fuck it. i get home and grab the last two discs (6 & 7) of Lost to watch with Lady Mo back at her place (15 minutes away). then, when i get to her place (at 10pm) i realize that i grabbed the wrongs dics. i grabbed Crash, and the last disc of Lost, which we can't watch until we see the one before it. i say it's alright, and go to print off a "free rental" coupon on my blockbuster online account. and as it comes out the printer, we discover that she doesn't have any more ink. (breathe out)

so here i sit. at Lady Mo's. she's watching Oprah with her roommate. i'm typing on a blogsite - which i can't get to work with my old template, so i had to change it to what it is now. a somber blue something.

but it's my best failure day. because despite everything, it's really been a pretty good day. i feel great. frustrated here and there, but i feel great. so, to hell with what happened today. i thank God that it hasn't affected my being. shit happens. and today life happened to have the runs.

yeah, today, life had mudbutt.

so what do you do when life has mudbutt?? i'll tell you. you wipe. eat some applesauce. drink plenty of water. and watch some tv.

have a nicer day.
