Blues Two-Step

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Right about now I need as many inspirational quotes as folks can throw to me.  Right now folks, is a dark period for your good ol' silly buddy Alise.  Usually I can joke myself or talk myself through tough times.  However, this time around I am just tired.  Exhausted is probably a better word.  Or maybe exasperated.  No, I think weary is the best   You must excuse me, I am a geek  poet and word selection is important.   There is so much on my plate right now that the only way this would be a good thing is if it was dinner time.  That was corny.  Even my jokes are suffering.  I just feel like I keep hitting a wall, and trust me after you plow into a wall a couple-few times it starts to hurt.  Pain sucks and I know it is part of life, but what percentage is pain really trying to extort from me.  Pain is like Puffy a crooked record label manager and I feel like I won't have a second album of triumph, but only an advance to pay back.  Word to Carl Thomas. 

Just keep in mind in this post I am just having a pity party, and you just happened to get invited.  Just a moment of weakness and sadness, yeah I know my party favors suck.  It's all I could afford.  *Kanye Shrug*  I'll be better tomorrow I am sure, but for now let's two step to my blues.


Love ya...

Empathetic....

Just to quickly piggyback Tiha's post yesterday. I totally understand Tiha's survivor guilt, because I feel similar emotions. I actually do feel a sadness for the folks left behind, because I know bullshit they have to deal with. I, though am in a situation that my unemployment is not going to affect my lifestyle, Alise is gonna be just fine, so please none of y'all worry. I feel bad for those whose world this destroys; folks with families, mortgages, car notes, etc.... So i feel guilty for being alright... Does that make sense? .... it hurts on all sides.
