Angry Summer is sucking so far!!!!

Alright dammit I know ur not supposed to be given any more than u can handle by the big guy but I gotta tell u if one more friggin thing I own breaks I swear I am going to start shooting!!! I got something off in the front end of my charger that is making traction control stop working and give me dummy lights, Transmission line of the truck went, Jet ski motor had something let loose that is going to require a tear down, and both the desktop and laptop went on the same friggin day. I am currently using an old p.o.s pentium 4 to get basic stuff I need to done(bills ect). The desktop literally rattles because of a fan that is screwed up. To top it all off my bike is still in the shop being painted!!! Had some issues with another one that was being painted so we had to build a paint booth at my buddies shop. Thankfully that will be done Monday but I really am afraid something is going to go horribly wrong at this point. AAAARRRRGGGG!!!
Sorry I had to vent !!

Isn't it crazy how that works? Like the old saying goes, when it rains it pours.

Look on the bright side. If you were born 100 years ago, you would have none of these modern problems. Come to think of it, you would be dead.

Keep smilin

I hear you and understand your frustration, but it's all relative.

I'm no saint by any means, but 99% of the world is jealous of the possessions that the Big Guy has given you - repairs and all.

And the fact that you even pay recognition to the Big Guy ...

Well, hell, that's your greatest possession of all!

You'll be OK.

It's just another test to see if you fully appreciate things when everything is working properly

Just make you appericate it more, a little test once in a while, makes you wonder what your being tested on. But it could always be worse and that doesn't hit you to you see someone worse off/ or luck and you say I'm glad I'm not him, why him?

Sounds like your luck is running about like mine. That's the way it goes, one thing happens then the snowball starts rolling.
