curbdrop out of grace

destruction breeds beauty

before i even get started, i want to give a shout out to mayer and johnny for posting comments. that's what you're all supposed to do.

second, johnny just wrote something about how billy and i both "heart nothing". he then went into how when billy or i are seeing someone, he's unhappy, and when he's seeing someone, like right now, we're unhappy. and so on. he wants to know why we can't all be happy at once and all have our teen dream machines.

seriously, why not?

i've noticed that pattern or trend to. now, i've thought about this and i really realize that in general, life is rough. it's just a serious of bad things happening. don't get me wrong, there's a ton of good too. i'm not saying it equals out at all in anyone's given life. i don't even think it evens out in general.

i'd go so far as saying there's about 80% of unhappiness and 20% of happiness. and i think that the happiness is somehow shared amongst us all. so when good things happen to one person, then something bad happens to two. and if you think about it, usually someone's victory is someone's defeat.

here are examples:

johnny meets loren and starts dating her. well that's great for both of them. really i am very happy for him. but say there's some other skirt that likes johnny. and what about another guy that likes loren? well now neither have a chance with either. so they are both unhappy.

what if someone hits the lotto and is now a multi-millionaire? well what about the thousands of losers. although their pain is not so great, the cumulation is superior to any fleeting joy this new-money dude will ever have.

etc. etc. etc.

so johnny, this post i guess is sort of all about what you wrote. that's the way the cookie crumbles. now it will happen someday that all three of us will be happy and whipped, but until then, a whole lot of bad shit will keep happening to us because there's people ahead of us in line who deserve to shine, before we get our turn.

i'm going to make another new post of things i really wanted to say... (to be continued).
