Today, I Am The Pigeon!

I really do believe in the whole Ying/Yang way of looking at the world.  I’ve never really done any research on the topic or anything.  I just think everything in the universe comes down to this one philosophical and ingenious quotation: Some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue.  Not that I’m a huge fan of pigeons or anything.  But the point is – life sometimes sucks, but sometimes, it doesn’t suck completely.  Sure, you may have lost your wedding ring and your wife is going to most likely do such unpleasant things to your testicles that you’ll spend more time crying than thinking that this is the most time your wife has ever spent touching your testicles, but, hey, remember when the girl at McDonald’s forgot to charge you for those extra Chicken Selects that you added onto your order last minute?

You have to accept that bad shit happens, but still hold on to that hope that good shit will come along and, at the very least, ease some of the pain that the bad shit caused.  Sure, your self esteem could take a nose dive sometimes, like when the Chinese teenager asked you if you wanted his seat on the train because he thought you were pregnant.  But, hey, that doesn’t mean that you should forget about that time that you got whistled at by three construction workers, a teenager, and an elderly person with a dog!

        A perfect example of the pigeon quote:  All of my Susan B. Anthony women’s rights empowerment goes right out the fricking window when I’m in the supermarket and I can’t reach something and I have to ask someone to get it down for me.  You can’t get much lower than that (no pun intended).  But there’s always those times when an old person can’t reach something and asks me to get it down.  Yeah, those are the good days.

         Today I interviewed for a really cool internship and got it!  I am in a crazy good mood.  I think the company I'm going to be working for in going to totally be the new Facebook and I am going to be a part of it! Ahhhh :)
