Unreal

I’ve never been very good at dealing with loss or hard times. To quote Chandler Bing (who is the Friends character I would be according to the wide world of internet quizzes). “I’m not so good with the advice… Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment??” that’s pretty much how I function, so the past 2 days have been fairly rough on me.

The economy has finally caught up with my office, and for the first time in their ten years of business they had to let people go-I guess that is a common occurrence these days. And although my job is safe (for now…) I had to watch some of my friends pack up their desks. I feel like every thing has changed there now, and it sucks. It is just a really crappy feeling that I’ve never really had to deal with.

Further, the Oakland/Anaheim game tonight has been postponed because the Angels rookie pitcher –Nick Adenhart– was killed in a car crash this morning. He was 22. So very tragic. And-I know it’s a little silly- but that news really made me wish that I got to see my little brother more. Silly only because it shouldn’t take a kid of a similar age and dream as my bro dying to make me realize that. But I guess that’s life. We tend to take things for granted and it isn’t until something hits close to home that we realize how lucky we are.

I know there has to be a silver lining somewhere under all this shittiness, I just hope it shows up soon.
