Bad Luck

People say bad luck comes in three's mine seems to come in eights or nines. Have any of you had one of those strings of bad luck that seem to never end? Thats what I'm caught in now and its a vicious cycle!

For example:

Near the end of last year seems to be when it has started, whilst cooking one evening I slipped with a very sharp cooking knife and stabbed myself thru my right leg near the groin, a couple inches from the carteroid artery. It went all the way thru, hilt was resting on my upper thigh point end sticking out the back. Now I'm probably the only person this has ever happened too, and believe you me, driving to the hospital with a knife in your leg is not the most pleasent of experiences. And to top it off, the lame nurse has the gall to ask me what the problem is when I walk, erm gimp, into the emergency room. I have a cold I said, and she told me not to get snooty, gar!!

I survived the christmas holiday seemingly with no problems, though my ex-girlfriend had sent me an invitation to her wedding, though I'm not sure if that is bad luck or just an annoyance.

So the first of the year rolls along and here I am the victim of bad luck once again. Some lameass decides to break into my car and steal a 10lbs barrel, it was big, of cat litter. Thats it just the cat litter. But in the process, smashed out one of my passenger side windows. Bad luck and inconvience.

So finally after a weeks time I get to the glass place, after a wonderful few days of having to deal with frost not only on the outside windows of my car, but now the inside windows of my car, and they replace the window. I am happy.

Even more happy was I getting back to work, knowing that I was going to spend the rest of the afternoon setting up a new system for myself that I had ordered all the parts for that had finally all arrived. Nine and a half hours later after trying every conceviable combo with the new motherboard I am still uncessful in trying to get the machine to boot to the OS. Its now almost 11pm, I had been at work since 7am, time to go home, grab something to eat and relax for a bit so I can come back in on saturday and see if I can get it to work.

So I venture onto the darkened streets of Reading PA and head home. I decide to stop at wendys to pick up a spicy chicken fillet and a biggie fry. Mission successful, I leave the drive in window and travel the two or three miles to home. Pulling into my apartment complex, right outside my apartment, I hit this huge pothole that has been created from the recent snow and plowing. This thing is huge, like a sinkhole and my car goes BANG into it. Luckily there was no damage except.....

The damn window I replaced earlier that day shatters again

Oh god, how I can relate. My bad luck started last summer.

I went to the doctor because my ankle was really sore, and I thought it was a sprain or something. They took some x-rays, and found out that one of the bones is growing all funny, so they have to take it out and essentially replace it with wires and screws. But I couldn't get it done right away because I was starting school again in a few weeks, and the surgery would leave me unable to do a fucking thing for 8-12 weeks.

Two weeks before I'm supposed to go back to school, I get a letter from them saying that all my financial aid had been denied (no reason given, of course), and my school was 30 grand a year, so I couldn't afford to go back, but since they don't start til the end of September, all the other schools had already started. Stuck at my shitty job til January.

So I decided to schedule the surgery since I had a few months to kill and would rather have it done during the fall rather than during the summer, when it's all hot. Well, my father's insurance company was switched, and since I was not attending classes at the time (being enrolled isn't enough...you have to be attending classes at the time), I was no longer covered. Had to cancel everything.

So I get into another school. Then I get a letter saying that they have no housing. I have no car, so driving isn't an option. I looked around up there for apartments, called several people, and only one responded. I scheduled to meet them and look around one weekend, I get there, and they never answer the fucking door. So I decide to go to community college for a bit. They never call me back about my schedule. Stuck at my job which I know hate with every ounce of my being until September!!! And my boss tells me yesterday that the personnel director wants to talk to me on Monday.

And people wonder why I have such a negative outlook on everything.

I wonder who'd steal all that cat litter?

Catwoman perhaps?

First, Bill Clinton got elected. Then it happened again!

Then the same fucking idiots elected George W. Bush. There hasn't been a human being in the WhiteHouse since Ronald Reagan left.

Do yourself a favor...click here, right now.

shit man, lets see, it all started jan. 13,1999, i get a phone call at work, its my grandfather telling me that a few days earlier my best friend died while driving drunkenly away from the police at about 130 mph, jumped a ravine, hit the other side, and his truck exploded, him with it.
feb. 17, 1999; its 4am, im laying in a rapidly expanding puddle of my own blood from 13 stab wounds, all in the legs, when the ambulance got to me, 45 minutes later, the emt told me to quit bitching and calm down, that it wasnt as bad as i made it out to be, and then proceeded to pick me up by the holes in my left leg (11 of the 13) and i called him an asshole, so he tried to punch me. while in the ambulance, i tried to expound on the fact that i was dying from lack of blood, which they didnt believe untill they got my b.p, which was something like 36 over 50 something, so they stopped talking shit and started trying to keep my ass alive. then came the 2 months of hospital stays and blood clots and aneurisms, for which they gave me absolutely nothing to ease the pain of for 12 hours.
march 10, 1999; my fiancee left me after destroying half the house
april ?, 1999; lose my job due to lack of being able to show up on a regular basis.
june 22, 1999; i get arrested by the drug task force of huntsville alabama for possession of paraphenalia, sentenced to 2 years, suspended upon appeal.
since then my life has gotten progressively worse, my only skills lie in food service and warehouse work besides a good talent for body piercing, which now costs 400 dollars for a permit to do in this godforsaken shithole of a state im in now. so i am currently collecting my 137 dollars a week for unemployment, with a court date on the 7th of feb. for an eviction, 4 warrants for unpaid tickets i got in my now broken down car, and a wife who is probably gonna head out soon if things keep on the way they do.
but i cant complain............

fuck man, my life is a goddamn country and western song.

this ninteen year old punk ass wanna be gang queer kid got stupid at a party, and he tried to fuck my friends fifteen year old sister, so we tossed him, then he tried to run another girl over with his car, so someone popped one of his tires, then i went to fix it after a lengthy talk about cops getting called and other girl freaking out about it, so i went to shut her up, he got lippy, i smacked him in the mouth, he stabbed me 13 times.

I'm guessing he didn't like getting smacked? Please tell me he's in jail.
