Life = bad day = good day

[Niko]

What is it about having a crap day that makes the next day so god damn good? Why is it you can feel so shit and unlucky one day, only to have a day followed by feeling uplifted? Boredom and jealousy and tears contrasting with excitement, smiles, drinks and luck.

So the other night I felt like a cartoon tree being cut to the ground - you know how when Bugs Bunny is hiding up a tree from a hunter and the tree is cut down step by step - well I suppose it felt like my stature was cut down clink by clink.. the phrase my friend told me, advice about women: 'chicks man, fucking chicks'; pretty spot on.

And then theres the day after when I met the *new* girl.. I was expecting nothing more than cheap wine and bad art at my friends scultpure exhibition, instead I got a night starting with coffee, a lot of conversation, a pub and drinks, and finishing up at a friends balcony talking to her about the stars and moon and all that shit that is interesting when you're pissed and reflective at 2am in the morning. The kind of conversations which arent introspective, in fact they're usually about something else or someone else, but you know they say so much about you and the person you're having them with. Lastly a walk home and a promise for more.

I dont know what to call the next day thing, it freaks me out. It happens all the time - it almost feels worth it to have the shit day before it for the results it sparks.. This time I'm optimistic I'll go to the effort to transform one night into weeks/months of fun. We'll have to see how it goes.

I think with me at the minute it's more a freeze-frame sort of thing, nothing's changing. One day to the next there's no changes, no ups nor downs, like the sea when there's no wind. But not as wet.
If you have a really shit day though any day after will seem great, as long as it isn't crap too.
Fuck it, why put any effort in?
Promise of more eh Niko? YOU GO GIRL ;)

hehehe.. :D

I think I generally have that too - just the daily monotony of life and all that. Wasting my life on MSN and message boards.. its good though to actually start getting results from.. doing something. If that makes sense.. which I'm sure it doesnt.

ah yes. Yesterday I was ecstatically happy, today I don't feel all too good. Just woke up. Last night I drove home around 4 in the morning, listened to Springsteen til my speakers almost exploded, and it felt all so unreal. I don't know why, but I think staying too long in bed gets you depressed.

I could kick my own ass, yesterday there was this girl, and fuck, she was interested. She smiled at me, and smiled at me, and I smiled back, she danced with me, I danced with her, we didn't speak one word, and then we both left. I feel like such a loser.

She could've been my future wife, she was perfect. And I messed it up. ARGH! Someone kick me now!

Aww that's so sad. All I can say is "been there - done that" and you could KILL yourself for being so stupid!! You see this person and you get all these feelings but then it's over, 'cos you don't do anything about it!! It's fucking awful and bloody unfair!

About days... well.... I think my best days are the ones who start like shit.... I fuck something up or something is fucked up and I'm really sad or angry... but then.... somehow it's okay... I solve the problem or it just leaves by itself... I had a day like that not so long ago and when I went to bed I was so HAPPY! I can't describe it, everything was just... alright. But I think the owrst days are the ones where you don't feel anything... I have loads of them... and it's awful! So... a crap day is better than a boring day...:rolleyes:

For me it´s more like good episodes and bad episodes. The present good episode has been going on for so long that occasionally I feel a bit confused: am I only fooling myself; how can I be so generally happy most of the time; am I shallow. It´s not like everything is perfect and settled in my life at the moment, but the bad things rarely depress me - I´m too content with myself and almost every day there´s some small thing to feel happy about. I think it´s similar to what you´ve said about bad days making the good days seem even better: the bad episodes in my life have made me value the good things.
