Do we ever get to call a do over in life?  Maybe just a time out, go to the sidelines and figure out the next play?

No?

Damn.

I was thinking that I’d just trot over to the sidelines, have some gatorade and kind of make like I’m thinking about what to do next and then trot back out to the field.  Of course I’ll still not have any idea what the hell I’m doing or going to do, but I’ll look swell in my indecision.

I know that I’m not the only one in this boat.  In fact the old unemployment boat is full to the brim like one of those Cuban refugee “boats” that you see on the news every now and again.  Fifty people are piled on the hood of a 63 Dodge Dart and trying to float their way to Miami.  Current unemployment rates are officially at or around 10%, but the real unemployment rate is, depending on which source you use, somewhere around 15-17% and possibly even worse.  The old hood for the American unemployed is full and really, if we all float to Miami, is it going to be any better there?  Sure, there might be good food, but we’re all going to be to poor to afford it.

We can all be bitter, in fact I often am/was, but I’m personally trying not to be.  I think that my bitterness is something that attributed to my current stupid poor health situation.  That and the fact that for the longest time the only time I went to the gym was to pick my daughter up or maybe turn around in the parking lot.  That’s not a very good workout honestly.  I don’t recommend that you try it.

I think that I’m going to try being positive and see what happens.
