My Royal Punkness...

I just realized that I am a punk today. Well, maybe not a punk. I'm just tired. I am tired and weary of rightfully placing hopes and expectations on events, situations, etc that really actually should work out. I thought about this because of how really absolutely absurd my behavior was when some people we had com and do work on our house today did it within a reasonable time frame, with no mess and everything freaking worked when they were done. I was literally dancing my bananas off just because I turned on everything and the g-darn thing worked. everything. perfectly. and it wasn't lopsided. or scratched. They didn't even scratch up my sh@!

Why should that be f%$#$% surprise ?

Because that's not how life is. Believe it or not I am under 30 and I am complaining about the quality of materials today versus the quality of products in my parents generation...or their parents generation...and so forth. Today's stuff sucks. Period. My original 1929 gas stove that came with my 1925 American Foursquare still works ! Compared to my 2008 Apple computer that didn't last 6 months. Or my 2007 Macintosh that didn't make it a week. The subsequent one made it three months. The replacement lasted 2 months before it blew up in Korea using the Apple made and certified universal outlet adapter.

Why am I still here?
