A waste
I am in a shit mood. To alleviate my foul temper, I tend to get in the car and drive aimlessly. And while I think it's better than drinking myself into a numb stupor, I feel that my actions are selfish. If I was a drunk, I'd only really be hurting myself (and the cat, and a few close bystanders). But because I can only solve my deeply boring emotional issues through the burning of fossil fuels, I kind of depress myself further by thinking of my contribution to the downfall of the whole damn planet.
Thankfully my mind negates all this self-deprecating mastubatory garbage somewhere on the Lougheed Highway after the third or fourth repeat of Toronto's "Your Daddy Don't Know".
There are a few things I listen to to cheer myself up, but lately it's been Tom Gabel's "Anna is a Stool Pigeon". Based on a true story, it makes me glad that the gub'mint didn't entrap me and send me to jail for 19 years. That's another thing I do: I like to compare my life to those who have made terrible public errors. Comair Flight 191 happened a few days after I nearly got fired for playing Scrabble at work. I may not have my shit together when it comes to workplace ethics, but at least I didn't violated sterile cockpit rules.
Now I am watching NTSB animations about derailments. "Let’s look at the effects of crosstie abrasion in more detail."
Anyways. Q&A time. What songs and/or random things cheer you up?
