Worse Than Groundhog Day (The movie was good.)

 "Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today." Phil from Groundhog Day


Does anyone remember the movie Groundhog Day? Bill Murray wakes up every day and is forced to relive the same day over and over and over again. This seems horrible because it seems no matter what happens, nothing he does ever brings the next day upon him. This seems like the worst possible fate a person can imagine, just living the day over and over with nothing changing. 


I don't mean to alarm you, but there is something much worse than this fate and you've probably been experiencing most of your adult life. Every day is exactly the same, but guess what, it's not the same day. This means time keeps passing and you keep living the same day over and over getting older and older. I feel pain for you, I really do. This is because I live the same day over and over.

I wake up and walk for twenty minutes. I walk my dog. I go in to an office and push some papers around. I come home and I eat dinner. I watch TV. I write a blog now. I walk my dog. I shower. I go to sleep. 

There is nothing fulfilling or interesting about my day and I get up and keep reliving it. How do I get through this? I dream of the future. I am working to pay my bills and to hopefully save my money. One day this will not be where I work. Until then, I will do things I like to do such as writing a blog and hope it actually comes to something other than nothing. If it amounts to nothing than at least there is a small amount of joy in something within my day. Right?

    Not everyone has the vision in order to find those steps (even if they are the wrong ones). I guess that makes me lucky.

Facebook is a waste land of broken dreams. (Facebook Depression)

How many times have you gone on to Facebook in order to "check up" on people only to find they've been trotting the world, landing amazing jobs or have just left you in the dust to the amazingness of their existence? It makes me wonder what is their damn secret? Why are they so happy? Why the hell haven't I managed to grow up yet? Kids that I used to babysit in high school are married and/or with children. I am with neither. This is by choice, but it does still tend to sting a little bit. Then there is the ever present pictures of people traveling the globe and seeing places that I haven't managed to see yet. Yes, I have been all over the world but while I am reading the Facebook page in my boring office that doesn't matter. It's like those things never happened or like they just weren't good enough in comparison.  What we don't see is the reality behind the pictures that make everything seem so amazing. For instance, all you might see in o...

I'm not a lesbian, but my girlfriend is...

I'm not sure that I've been a cynic on love my entire life, but I have written confirmation that I definitely was at 17 years old and still a senior in high school. This comes in the form of a scrap book that we were supposed to complete about our lives. I loved this assignment, I loved what I did with it and I love that the teacher I had admired so much had liked it as well. I still have the scrapbook and so occasionally I look through it and at what my life had been for the first 17-18 years of my life when it was competed. There was one prompt that she gave us, "It's Love This Time". I changed it to, "It's Not Love This Time" and posted a bunch of pictures of cute celebrity boys because I had no first loves. Well, at this time in my life, I don't think I had ever been on a date before. I went on one date my senior year of high school and that was a set up through one of my friends. Let's just say we aren't married. He ended up ...
