eeeerrrg.

you know what sucks? when shitty things happen to good people, especially when they are seemingly unwarranted, and are simply due to the fact that someone woke up and decided to put on their asshole hat that day (or month). oh, nevermind. SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ASSHOLE HATS AND ARE JUST NATURALLY THAT WAY.

all irritatedness aside... as the lovely folks from Over the Rhine like to sing, changes come. perhaps a bit more rapidly than you feel comfortable with, but life is about adapting and making the most out of every situation. and this particular situation? has many, many opportunities to capitalize on. and now that I've had a night to sleep on it and to warm up to the ideas involved, i'm actually really excited.

sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone and risk something to advance, to move forward. and sometimes, if you're not willing to take that step yourself, God will give you a little shove. perhaps this was just what was needed.

[note: i'm filing this under "life isn't just good; it's awesome." because despite the fact that what happened was INCREDIBLY shitty, i've convinced myself that this could be one of the best things that could have happened to me. to us. call me an optimistic sap, but whatever.]
