What is the sound of one geek clapping?

I’m feeling much better now.

Does the sucky stuff still suck? Yeah, but I know that eventually I’ll figure it all out.

I guess that what’s really important for right now is to figure out what I have to do in order to fix it. That’s always been my problem, to a certain extent—and hell, is the problem with most of society—I’m really good at finding out what’s wrong with the world, but when it comes to stepping up, I take a step back instead.

But I’ll be fine, honest. Don’t you go worrying about me.

I’m really getting sick of being depressed. No money, no social life, two hours of driving to and from work a day, work/home/sleep/work/home/sleep… The routine is driving me crazy.

I just don’t know what I can do about this. It’s not so much that I feel depressed, because that’s something that comes and goes; it’s more that I just feel kind of trapped in everything. Lack of any real direction in my life is just causing me to see what’s only two feet in front of my face.

Remember the flat tire I had on Monday? Tonight a headlight went out.

It wasn’t a huge deal, as I was expecting it: the other one had gone out a couple of weeks ago, and I bought them at the same time. But that’s not the bad part of the story.

The bad part of the story is that when I went to go replace it, the clip that holds the bulb in place broke off in my hand.

That makes two bad things this week. If you don’t hear from me on Friday, it’s because something worse happened… like the engine fell out.

My drive to work was interrupted by a flat tire. Nothing like changing a tire while people drive by you in the fast lane at 85 miles per hour to give you a good outlook for the week.

I guess now I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop…
