Optimism is for the Birds.

“If an optimist had his left arm chewed off by an alligator, he might say, in a pleasant and hopeful voice, “Well, this isn’t too bad. I don’t have my left arm anymore, but at least nobody will ever ask me whether I am right-handed or left-handed,” but most of us would say something more along the lines of “Aaaaah! My arm! My arm!”- Lemony Snicket (Horseradish)
I’m an optimist. I do believe that eventually everything will be all right- after the inevitable wading through colossal amounts of agonizing emotional and physical pain. It snowed today but I am optimistic it will be sunny again someday although with my luck I will probably be sick that day and not be able to go outside. If it is ever sunny again I would love to go camping. But chances are it would rain. Or we could forget to bring food with us and break the zipper on our tent while we are inside of it and when we call for help the only thing that hears us is a family of bears who also forgot to bring food with them and so they eat us. Then everyone would wonder “Where are the Sortors on this fine sunny day?” In very optimistic voices.

  5. Wayne, for your own protection I deleted your comment, although I did find it humorous and probably accurate.

  7. I LOVE the Goth Confession section. You have such a knack for understatement. I was TORTURED with uncontrollable laughter. You should compile them into a book…Give Lemony Snicket a run for his money.
