Annoying Thought of the Day

I lose a lot.

By that, I don't mean fail.  That's too easy and whiny to say.

I just play some kind of metaphorical race/game and end up losing a lot.

This morning it wasn't even 6:30 when I lost big.  Money.  Time.  Opportunity.

And I'm good at it.

I never ran in track but in the world of metaphor, I do the last place last lap like a gentleman, waving to everyone ignoring me, taking bottles of water handed to me which are inevitably full of piss.

I lose well.  I accept it and plod on and gain the mask of grace with a breakable elastic strap.

It's a skill, some would say, to recover quickly from any kind of loss.

Some skills one shouldn't get too good at.
