I tried my best to be a good citizen today. That means; not waking up late, not eating too much junk, do boring stuff like go to the bank, fill out forms, scan things that need to be scanned, reply to emails like a.... an emailmachine.. you know. I probably don't have to explain it.
Anywayyy, it was nothing to write home about but at the end of the day I was pretty proud of myself. So in the evening I was happily scanting down the street with my paperwork and signed forms. Suddenly the wind decided to grab my papers and throw them up in the air and blow them away from me. Half of the papers went down the street and the other ran madly up the street to the left. I ran after them cursing and shouting and finally retrieved the first half. Then I ran up the street after the other half, hoping that they weren't lost or stuck in something disgusting like dog poop or some drunk man's puddle of urine. I gathered all the papers that I could see. Then a middle aged woman passes by and says that she saw paper further up the street. I puked a "Thank you!"at her and ran in the direction she was pointing. To make a long story short, I found nothing. I couldn't believe my bad luck.
I have to explain one thing before I continue, I'm kind of superstitious and ever since I was a kid I've believed that I my life runs in repeating cycles of good and bad luck. So when I have bad luck I think it's the beginning of a bad luck cycle that will span a few years. It's all very biblical and dramatic and I know it's irrational but I can't help thinking about it...somtimes. But, I recently found out
that it's all a matter of how you look at things. You can choose how you see things. I've always chosen to remember my bad luck and I've realized that if you think you are unlucky, you automatically start noticing everything that can be interpreted as bad luck.
Back to the street of lost papers. The weather was getting windier so I just decided to go to my studio and see what was missing of the papers. After going through the papers I saw that there was only one page missing and it was exactly the one that I didn't need and would have thrown away anyway. Lovely.
