Back From The Dead

Boy! It's been awhile. As the old saying goes, Life has its ups and downs and when you're down life SLAPS you hard. I'm telling you I've been slapped around by life so hard this past month I'm surprised my body is not permanently attached to the ground. There always seems to be a never ending stream of crap pouring down from all corners. No matter how things seem on the surface you would be surprised what's really under there. It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall in the home of the person you think has it all. To be able to see what their life is really like. To know that they do actually experience all the shit life has to offer. Sometimes at night, when I'm taking the Prince for his evening constitutional, I look at the houses of my neighbors and wonder what is really going on behind those closed doors. Granted I live in an "old folks" neighborhood so for most it's remembering where the glasses went and fine-tuning the dentures. But, sometimes I wonder how much of the small annoyances in life are just God looking for some comic relief. I refuse to believe it's all serious work up there. He works hard and everyone needs a little break. I choose to take my break with a shot of some strong beverage.
