The title says it all. This is not some kind of rant about how terrible the world is.
Lately, my life, like yours, has been just plain ole' crap. And as much as I don't want to, I have to bitch and moan in order for me to get over it. But lately, I have been thinking about a new way to accept our coffee-spilling-on-$100-white-blouse days. I'm not much of an idea person but, what the hell, sure, why not?

PEACE.
Does not mean no crap in your life. It just means to accept it and move on. Let's continue with the coffee-on-blouse example. If you spilled coffee on your blouse, get a move on and get some napkins and Tide-to-go.
BOLDNESS.
You know that $500 dollar dress that is just made for you at the mall? Buy it. Yes. Live your life the way it should be lived. Don't make yourself a shopping addict though because you're going to end up in Barnes and Noble buying Oprah's book on the Debt Diet.
TOLERANCE.
You know that ass at work who thinks of you as a one night stand just waiting to happen? Yes, the one who is always just in time to make you feel even worse. Don't say anything. Just buy a fake plastic "diamond" ring and say that you just got engaged.

I'm not one to talk and if this doesn't introduce you to a new way, I hope you at least got a good 30 second laugh out of it. Like I said, not much of an idea person.

Our lives our terrible.
Full of taxes and asses.
That guy that just cut you off?
You just want to flip him off.
Renting a movie like Bridget Jones makes you laugh.
Then you go online and people are telling you that lonely people watch romantic comedies to create their own mental fairytale that is just waiting to happen.
That hot guy you might accidentally bump in to at Abercrombie and Fitch?
Yeah, you realize he's shirtless because he's actually paid to stand there and smile.
Your mother and sister who are mean to you?
Yeah, they're actually just trying to help you pick out clothing.
Then you lie awake before you sleep wondering how many more fake "romantic" meetings will happen until you fall in love.
