Alrighty then, a year ago to the day the Dow hit an all time record high of 14,000-plus and now we're only at 8,000 and some change, lowest in forever. Well, not forever maybe, but in a long time. And seven days in a row with the plummeting so far, still counting.
Meanwhile you all are paying out over a trillion dollars already committed to bailing out the asshole unruly idiots and even providing hundreds of millions of dollars take home pay for some after them getting fired, not to mention footing the bill for these loser companies' employee vacations at nearly half a mil a pop.
Anyway, my point is, you know what? Yeah, things suck. Probably will for quite some time, actually, and surely there's much justified and warranted worry and concern, I understand that.
Bottom line, though, not to belittle the mess of things or whatever, but at least it wouldn't hurt to also remember that not only will things eventually get better but that just appreciating every ordinary day for the here and now might not be such a bad idea, either.
Of course, I am drunk so probably not making very much sense ... but one of my favorite bands ever and a most excellent song here. "At the end of the day, you've just got to say it's all right."

Good point Doug. Life goes on. (It's nice to add your voice to your posts.)
ReplyDeleteLife unscripted, it's like improv kind of really. Keeps things interesting, even when things suck big time. Who knows the next chapter? Or if there will even be one, so sometimes (particularly when I'm drunk like I said) I kind of get that I ought not get so pent up about stuff sometimes.
