I was reviewing my latest journal entry and I got caught with “Cheers to 2008!  I believe that this will be MY year.”  With all the events that happened recently, I’m beginning to doubt that 2008 will be MY year and question how naive I must have been to be so optimistic.  I’ll admit, 2008 began without any intoxication so I can only presume that I wouldn’t be consuming too much alcohol within the year, and I also saw the man that I was beginning to date.  What a fantastic way to start off the year by being sober and spending some quality time with the new man.  Unfortunately, that relationship ended and I’ve been drinking every weekend.  So much for a sober and romantic year.

It’s only the end of February and I have already experienced a lot of unfortunate events.  It’s not tragic but more on the humorous side, yet still unfortunate. 

·          I broke my favorite pair of heels that I’ve had for 4+ years

·          I tripped and fell and ate the floor with many bystanders watching

·          I got smacked on the forehead by a pigeon who couldn’t gain enough altitude to fly over my head

·          Began a relationship that quickly ended as fast as it had quickly began (good guy, many similarities and differences that ended up conflicting)

·          Someone stole all 4 of my hubcaps from my work parking lot (who in the hell would steal HUBCAPS?!) 

·          I ripped 2 slacks while I was at work (one in the butt area and the other in the crotch)

·          My zipper on another pair of slacks is no longer functional

·          Broke a nail after I had just gotten it done.

I guess the only good things in my life right now is that I was able to watch the advanced screening of Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay and Semi-Pro (highly recommend both; they were equally piss-in-the-pants hilarious).  I will also be watching The Bank Job and The Other Boleyn Girl sometime next week.  Let’s pray for the remainder of 2008 to be … decent.  I can handle life’s crude sense of humor, but I do not wish for it to prolong any more.  PLEASE be nice to me, 2008.
