It’s snowing here, somewhat with fervor, and I’m stressing the fuck out. I realize my raincoat is missing, something I’ll probably need seeing as I’ll be in some rainforest bullshit, duh, so I figure, hey, it’s probably in my old car which is parked around the block. No worries, I go to a small dinner party with some close chums, that comes to a close, I stop at Kinko’s to make copies of my passport for security’s sake, then maybe stop by the car to see if my raincoat’s in there…and besides, I’ve got a toolbox in the trunk there … well, it’s gone!!! Holy fucking shit!!!  No way to deal with it now, at 10:19pm … and I leave in the morning. Oh, the fees that some bullshit towing will accrue by the time I get back. What the fuck?!@?!@?

UGH! A loss, do I call it?

Packing, surely missing things left and right, such as raincoats and things of the ilk. What the fuck?!? And Nana’s had a stroke in Brooklyn this week. Partial paralysis. And I’m on a plane to volcanoes and tropical beaches and waterfront palapas … guilty and wet, dripping, tired, bullshit sandals and a faceful of lotion …

I’m fucking pissed. Fuck this. See you whenever.

So fuck it. Instead, I’m going to talk about how this weather’s a fucking tease … it’s going to get worse before it gets any better, I’ll tell you that much. Look at Colorado today … getting fucking 3 feet of snow … and if it doesn’t get worse here, it’ll just turn into a detestable mudpit, thus giving us yet another thing to complain about, more kindling for the Ubiquitous Conflagration of Complaining About Where You Live (UCOCAWYL).

It’s always fucking something.
