Fearless

You say the hill’s too steep to climb
Climbing.
You say you’d like to see me try
Climbing.

You pick the place and I’ll choose the time
And I’ll climb
The hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree-line and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you’ve said today.

-Pink Floyd, Fearless

Just a little thought for the day about overcoming adversity.

There are times when the task ahead seems overwhelming. Times when your enemies close in for the kill.

And there are times when it's just time to run out to the 7-11 and grab a Slurpee.

Either way, you can set out to do great things and if you try hard enough and are successful, you can tell your enemies to suck it. For if there is anything more rewarding in life than throwing a hard-earned victory into the face of your opponent, I'd like to know.

Good sportsmanship, my ass. Tell me, was it sportsmanlike for that lady in the H2 to yell "Hey, fucknut, it WAS MY TURN, YOU ASSHOLE," at me when she clearly had a stop sign and I did not?

True story. Happened to me today as I pulled into a Wal-Mart parking lot, no less. Some people have some anger management issues, or was it the fact that there are people on this Earth who derive such pleasure by inflicting misery upon others?

Perish the thought.

I have no idea why some people are just wired to fly off the handle like that, but it's scary as hell. But what can one do? Yell, "Hey, lady, look at the signs a little closer next time!"? Seriously? No, way, she's probably packing heat.

You bet your fur that people who drive H2's and feel the need to hurl random colorful metaphors at innocent civilians are packing a 12 guage at the very least. I'm only hoping that she also had some medicine in there to calm her down, because lord knows that stoned-mellow drivers are tons better than raging psycho drivers. At least on paper.

Anyway, you have to take the nutty with the sweet sometimes, but that doesn't mean that you have to put up with it. Nope, eventually they'll get theirs. Hooyeah!

Eventually.
