Optimism is best.

Always expect things to go well, but be prepared to handle the unexpected.

I said that to a friend this morning, and it just seemed to click. Life has been hectic at best recently, and I cannot wait for the month to be over with. I'm moving at the end of the month. My roomie is a nice guy, but he's too financially and emotionally unstable. That and he throws tantrums better than any 13 year old i've known.

I usually feel like i'm hopping from one frying pan into another. Last move was due to the fact I had a crap job, and couldn't afford my rent and bills. Also my previous roomies were either not around much, or just were in a world of thier own. Great guys mind you, but i'm just into completely different things, and so there wasn't much social time with them.

Had I not moved I would have been in a worse situation. Right after I moved, I blew 3 tires on my car (not simultaneously...one right after the other, within a few days of each). So things worked out in the end I guess.

Of course I moved in with someone that had even less in common with me, but was a decent conversationalist. When you sit and talk with him, he sounds perfectly normal and seems to have a level head. Then you see him in action, and you might as well be watching a wind up toy that moves in a straight line. No room for deviations there. If something doesn't go exactly as he planned it (down to every detail in his mind) he is completely unsatisfied with the results.

...i'll post the details of my happenings since my last blog later today.
