LUCK IS A FOUR LETTER WORD
I have the worst luck in the world. It's true. Take poker for example. I'm not a bad poker player. Actually given the amount of time I've spent studying it, I should be a terrific poker player, but for the life of me I can't win any money. Not only do I not win any money, but I typically lose all my money. All of this is to say that I lost five dollars last night. And if poker was the only thing I was unlucky at, I might not care.
But I'm convinced this unluckyness (if that's a word, which I know it's not) is going to sneak into other areas of my life...sooner or later.
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE
Okay, here's the deal: I hate my girlfriend's friends. Maybe not hate, because I think in order to hate somebody you have to have the capacity to love them, which is to say that you should have to know them well enough that you could love them. I don't know them, any more than I know what kind of people they are. Basically all I know about them is that they're sorority girls (most of them) and they treat Renee like shit.
And for obvious reasons that doesn't sit right with me.
Now, I'm not the nicest guy in the world. God knows I've done some things to my so called friends that I'm not proud of and would probably be grounds enough for sending me to hell, but I'm not even in the same league as these girls. It just pisses me off. But the thing that gets to me most, the thing that I really can't stand, is the fact that there's nothing I can do about it. And I like to pretend that I can do anything. So, you can imagine how frustrating all this is.
But I'll leave it at this: she deserves better than that. There are those who would argue that she deserves better than me, but that's an argument for another time.
WRITER'S BLOCK
I've got it. That's pretty much all I can say about that. I can't create, or more accurately, I can't focus on a single idea long enough to do anything with it. It sucks. It's like I've developed ADD in the last week. Can't last forever though...right?
