Ouch...

So I'm driving home today from Owen Sound. I've got my CPAP machine sitting next to me that I just picked up (It's a pressurized air unit to help me breath at night)and I decide to turn on the radio. "Fly" by Sugar Ray is on and I'm just loving it. Kinda zipping around on the highway to the beat of the music and remembering when the song first came out. I gotta say... I was feeling pretty good! That is until the song ended and the announcer said it was a part of the retro lineup. The song came out in 1997. I didn't quite understand where the retro thing came into play until I started doing the math. 13 FRIGGIN YEARS?!?!?!? WHAT THE HELL?!?!? I just remember when the song came out which couldn't be 13 FRIGGIN YEARS AGO!! I swear it was like I was walking on a bridge to the island of happiness and someone pulled the bloody keystone. *SPLASH* A swim in Reality River!

Then I started realizing where I was... driving in a dopey little Aveo where the only way I can pass a vehichle is while driving down a steep hill with a gale force wind at my back.

Then I started realizing what I was driving with... a machine that HELPS ME SLEEP... something I SHOULD be able to do without assistance and something I COULD do in my younger days.

All in all, reality gave me a swift kick to the boys and I'm feeling pretty sour right now. The only thing keeping me going is the thought that no matter how bad I feel, my mood can't change the laws of gravity so I KNOW they boys will drop back into place.
