You Can't Get What You Want

You can't always get what you want.

You can't expect the unexpected if what happens to you is unexpected... or because that's just the meaning of "unexpected". You can never expect. Things just happen to you. I know I'm being vague.

It seems that whenever I don't really want something, it just shows up. An opportunity in my face. Something that just pops up. (Sometimes that is a good thing, sometimes it's not.) When I do want something, I never get it. Or, I have to strive for it or take a long time to get it or I never get it at all. Should I just not want it and then it'll just happen? No, that won't work... because then I'm planning it. Expecting it.

Someone out there is out to get me.

Today is Squirrel Day

Yea... so when I was walking home, I saw a squirrel just sitting there, on top of a fence railing. I've never been that close to a squirrel before. I wish I had a camera.

Okay. That was random. If that's not random, then this is. My English teacher loves telling these mini-stories.

And when I opened the door (I was going out to get the mail), I saw a squirrel (not the same one, I think) there. It was just there. On the porch. Just a few feet away from me. It looked hungry. Aww....
