Well, I been fooled twice&#8230;.and by the same person.  And even under the same circumstances.  I dunno why I let it happen&#8230;especially since I literally saw it comin&#8217;.  But that&#8217;s by the way sha.  There are somethings in life one may never be able 2 explain, but for everything else, there is master card.  Needless 2 say, I do not wish 2 discuss the details of what I just said &#8211; no matter who wants 2 know.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been so cranky today&#8230;for several reasons.  One is because Ms. Flow has gat me right where she wants me, and the other reason is because of something that will happen tomorrow.  I was so hurt\/pissed by it but when I tried 2 talk about it 2 some who usually listens, the person said &#8220;yea, whatever!&#8221;.  Sometimes I really dunno why I bother.  I am used 2 sorting my mess out myself, so I dunno why I went and got myself all tangled up.  It&#8217;s not even that serious!  So basically, I&#8217;ve been goin thru a buncha emotions 2day &#8211; happy, sad, pissed, angry, hurt.  And I&#8217;ve reacted in different ways &#8211; laughed, slept, cried, read my book. took a long shower, took a long walk, etc.  (And no, I do not wish to talk about this with anyone either!  Lemme get ova my last attempt 2 &#8216;talk about it&#8217;)<\/p>\n<p>I dunno why life just can&#8217;t go the way we want it to.  Why must life take several detours into Too-Bad land?  Why can&#8217;t we just have it the way we want it?  I guess that wouldn&#8217;t be life then.  That would be us dreaming!  It&#8217;s only monday, and I already feel pissed about tuesday, wednesday and thursday.  Thursday will be a lil betta, I hope.<\/p>\n<p>My eyes are so bloodshot, you&#8217;d think I guzzled down a bottle of hot vodka.  But that isn&#8217;t the case @ all.  My voice is almost gone &#8211; I dunno why.  I haven&#8217;t been screamin.<\/p>\n<p>I took a long walk this evening and it was great.  I left my house past 7pm and came back past 9pm, so I was gone 4 about 2 hours.  By the time I came back, the sun had been replaced by the moon.  A fine moon, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and for all the people who read this blog, y&#8217;ll really need 2 learn 2 leave comments, damn it!<\/p>\n<p>Alright, that&#8217;s it 4 now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You know that saying, &#8220;you fool me once, shame one you; you fool me twice, shame on me.&#8221;?
