What Will We Do for Food?

I'm always shooting in the dark, but I'd have just as much luck in broad daylight.

Maybe this will be it: "We always take the good things for granted."

Generally, after a shot like that, I take for granted that the target's been hit. I had a hard time learning the difference between "You'll know when" and "You'll decide when," and so now I don't know anything. Maybe.

Maybe we'd have the warmth we only read about if we told each other the nastiest bits from the bottoms of our hearts. "We love the winter, it brings us closer together," said the Manic Street Preachers...but honestly, passion is just weird.

Not sarcasm. It is weird, and I'm creeping myself out.

All that aside, there's always something to do. Take some Jedi wisdom and don't trust your feelings, if you feel otherwise. In Watchmen, Rorschach was heroic. He may have been an inhumane foaming-at-the-mouth reactionary pig, but he would have noticed the neglected cat I failed to, and started helping it.

All the time I spend feeling bad about the world, I could have been cutting matted fur on a cat.

Sometimes, you just have to...

You just have to...

You have to not include the parenthetical dig at Nike, or some pun on the slogan. You really have to just do it.
