datajunkie: Lucky 13!

You know how it is.... you have good days and bad days. Well guess what, this is one of the bad ones. Actually, it's really bad. I know i'm gonna be talking kinda elliptical for a bit, but just bear with me, because there is a point. Did you ever have to do something that you REALLY didn't want to do, but it was really a case of the Devil and the deep blue sea? If you're shaking your head and don't get it, that's OK - no demerits, and do feel free to skip ahead and download some swell comic books... i won't hold it against you.
So, to any and all still remaining, as i was saying (or griping, or grumbling, or whatever noise it is i'm making right now) - sometimes in life you're quite literally "damned if you do and damned if you don't". Take the left turn and you can never go along the righthand road again, and vice versa. So it would seem that your old pal is at that impasse. To add to the "fun" and i'm being sarcastic here, the road won't stop squirming. One king size Chuck Brown *ARGH* after the other. And i'll tell you for free, all the additional outside stimulus from the world as it grinds along on it's merry way doesn't help me one bit! Maybe i just need to go back into my cave (or cage - i still can't tell which for sure) and put the big sign on the shingle that says "Beware - Genius at Work - Keep Away - He Bites!" and busy myself with more "me stuff" while everything and everyone else just moves along and leaves me the heck out of it for a bit. Of course, the main problem with that is i do like people (it's the terrible things they do i object to - but that a WHOLE other topic for another time), and the hermit thing just isn't my style. Confusion, confusion. I wish i could be more specific, but i can't on the grounds that it may incinerate me..... Just wish me well as i try to figure out the mess i'm in this week and say a little prayer for good ol' hyper dave. Don't fret too much though, it's not like my life is on the line or anything, it really boils down to the fact that i had to do something i really (and i mean REALLY) didn't want to do, but in all truth HAD to do so i could keep ahold of the few marbles i have left.....
The dichotomy between need and want is always the 600 pound gorilla of life, and i usually slip on the banana skins the old fellow leaves strewn around the landscape..... And to make matter worse, there's a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse that will take place on Tuesday March 14th, so there's no end to this cr*p for a while. Wunnerful, wunnerful as Mr. Polka used to say. Hopefully if i keep busy enough for the forseeable future, it won't sting too much during the meanwhile, and i'll get an answer in the mail one of these days (that's a metaphor folks) ....... to quote Pete Townshend "At least i'll get my washing done". Just hope i don't end up on the bathroom floor scrubbing away with a toothbrush - that would be too much.
So here's to you, wherever you are, whoever you are - may all your choices be easy ones over the weekend, may the good, obvious and right thing to do be painless and easy to discern, and i hope that all your problems are small ones... i wish mine were!

And when the parade was over -
"Well, that should do it. I better go home now and see what i've got......."
