Do you ever get the feeling that there are mysterious forces alligned against you ? It seems , in my personal opinion , that I can not be blessed with good luck without quickly being cursed with bad . Call it karma , call it cosmic balance , call it bullshit . It NEVER fails .
I recently returned from a business trip with a healthy chunk of my travel pay still intact . Oh it was glorious I tells ya . Glorious . I was planning all of these great things that I could do with the extra money . Then...I get a flat tire on my car . Okay . Not a total disaster . What's a car tire go for nowadays ? $70 or $80 ? Well , that's what one would think , and one would be correct in thinking that . BUT...I go to get my tire replaced and the guy asks me to come out to the garage . This is NEVER a good sign . When a mechanic asks you to come out to the garage it's like somebody you're dating saying "We need to talk" . NOTHING good can come of it . So the guy says "Take a look at this tire" . So I look . He says " This tire is on its last legs . It definitely won't pass your next state inspection . By the way none of the rest of your tires will either . AND your allignment has most likely been thrown off by the worn out tires . " He's talking and all I'm seeing is little dollar bills with wings flying out of my wallet . So , long story short , my $80 trip to the garage wound up costing me $400!!!! the old karmic boomerang swung right back around and hit me square in the ass . FUCK . The reason that I hate going to the garage is the same as the reason that I hate going to the doctor , dentist , or courthouse . You always go in thinking "I just have this one thing , right? " next thing you know you have leprosy , you need a root canal , and you owe $30,000.00 in unpaid parking tickets . It never fails .
That reminds me of another story which properly illustrates my supernaturally awful luck , but that is for another time my friends .
For now...VAMINOS!!!!
