Ba ba, black mood

Except for when I was hanging out with Le Girl, I didnt laugh out loud much yesterday.

Apart from the warm moments, yesterday sucked.

Perspective was injected by a man who has been through stuff I cant even imagine, but keeps himself well dressed and smiling everyday. He reminded me.. "Things could be a lot worse, a whole lot worse."

Yes indeedy.

And again, the point of this exercise is to go through the tough times.

Ok.
-----
A quote from "Chef!" that made me laugh out loud just now..

"Piers?"

"Yes Chef!"

"Please re-arrange this plate so that someone in the advanced stages of malnutrition will take a passing interest in it."

"Yes Chef!"

Heehee.
-------
As the barista listened to me whine into the chilly and foggy Berkeley night, I posited that there are three things happening to me right now..

Someone put a curse on me

Its all happening for the greater good.

The gods are fucking with me.

She chuckled and replied:

"Karma will come back on those that do bad things, but I think its all for the good because thats what happens with good people, and youre a good person."

That brought a smile. I thanked her.

And wished very bad things upon the person who put that curse on me...
-----
She is extremely observant, but Le Girl was more surprised than I was when it turned out that the well-dressed and personable young man we were talking to outside Au Coquelet, under my probing, had been homeless in Berkeley...

"How long did you go through it?"
"About 2 years."
"Doesnt it seem to be a rite of passage here to have been homeless here at some point?"
"Yeah, it is."

I clocked onto it when he offered to put up a girl for a few nights to escape her tale of a psycho room-mate.

He understood.

So did I.
----
Me: *grump*
LeGirl: Dont worry, it all happens for a reason. Go get some sleep.

So I did.
