seriously…
sigh…
this has been the year from hell…
i’ve found myself taking 2 steps forward, 5 steps back and as of late, i have realized that i am not alone. my entire FaceBook timeline is filled with laments of friends who are fed up and sick and tired of being sick and tired…
and who wonders why? oil is STILL pouring into our oceans, our citizens (including yours truly) are unemployed and have been thrown off of Unemployment Insurance with no prospects of when OR if we will be receiving anymore benefits… THANK YOU REPUBLICANS!!!
our children are either overweight or malnourished… all of us are sleep deprived, walking around in a constant state of near-consciousness, always living in a cloud of stress…
and yet? not knowing how i will pay my bills, eat or continue my futile job search hasn’t made me lose my mind… just yet anyway. oh sure, the last few days have seen me consider everything from becoming a pole dance queen to hustlin random yahmean from a shopping cart but meh…
no matter wut, i have realized over the years that panicking doesn’t help. i’ve been in more sticky situations then i care to count and truthfully there isn’t one of us on this earth who isn’t only a heartbeat and a market crash away from the same thoughts… a year ago, i had a pretty good (albeit stressful) job, i was saving money and i was starting to really build my brand (google Diva Bleu or WWTF Radio and see wut happens!!!). now? i’m relying on the kindness of strangers and hoping for the Feds 2 find it in their Grinch-sized hearts to help us…
well. in the end, there are 2 thoughts that have gotten me through the last few weeks… well, clips really…
1) “It takes a tough man to make a tender forecast. Keep fucking that chicken.”
now this one is a clip of a newscaster saying the funniest phrase i’ve ever heard! (ok, i’ve said funnier stuff, but this isn’t about me.) but really people, even when you’re ready 2 throw in the towel? KEEP FUCKING THAT CHICKEN! see how inspirational it is???
2) “We know what we want. We know what we DON’T want. So get us what we want.”
ahhhh, The Backyardigans… best kids show that’s not REALLY a kids show EVER!!! while spending some QT with my niece and great-niece, we of course were subjected to every parent’s favorite channel, Nick Jr. and there, sandwiched between The Wonder Pets (CREEPY) and Yo Gabba Gabba (WEIRD), was this awesome nugget of wisdom…
so there you have it. little nuggets of wisdom for your times of trouble. like a bridge over troubled waters, i’m will go get laid.
isn’t that the saying? oh. nevermind.
