"This day is pointless"

I woke up thinking that and it's seems to have proven itself true. It hasn't been particularly bad, but it hasn't been been rewarding in the least.

Video Games:
Switched around quite a bit today. Started out with Mario Kart Wii. I unlocked a few expert trial ghost, but was unsuccessful in beating them. Went to Super Mario 64, where I was equally successful. I finally stopped on New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I did all right, but I began getting frustrated. Things just didn't work out with video games today.

Music:
I've developed an addiction to Foreigner's Starrider. There's just something so deep about the song that makes it enjoyable to hear over and over. Nothing too outstanding in either band or choir.

Personal life:
Woke up at 6:20, leaving me no time to get a shower. Probably the worst way to start a Monday. When I get to first period, I realise I had none of my second period homework finished, and didn't have time to finish it. Luckily, she didn't check it. At lunch, I realised that I had lost the $20 that my mom had given me for lunch this week, setting an even worse tone on my day. We had a free day in Creative writing, so we all got on the computers. Sounds like a good thing at first, but it boiled down to a fruitless effort to find a site that wasn't blocked. When I get home, I begin to think about all the things that could dollars could buy, and in contrast what purpose it might be put towards by the person who found it. It was enough to put me to tears. (Maybe I know the value of money, maybe I'm materialistic, maybe both. I don't know.) I take a walk outside. Common sense told me that it would have blown away in the wind long ago if I had dropped it, but I didn't care. I had to hang on to what little hope I had left. I reach the garbage can, the place where I had last stood before getting on the bus. Nothing. I bring the gabage can back to the house. Just as I'm approaching the steps, my mother somewhat brust through the door. She tells me that my bus driver had just called and too her she found it near the back seats. My day immediately turned around, but I simultaneously realized this was a terrible situation that was caused simply by my own carelessness, and was only turned right by a near irrational outcome. Regardless I take my winnings from the day and try to make the best of it. Snow appeared whirling outside our window, but left no trace. Another pointless phenomenon, that caused me to cling to a bit of hope that just wasn't there. At 8:00 I take an unexpected nap. I awoke an hour later, feeling no better than I did the hour before. Pointless, pointless, pointless.

So, that was my day. It may have not had much gain for me, but at least it might have been an interesting read for you.

  1. well, it didn't sound too terribly bad. perhaps a bit pointless, but we all have those days.
    & i hate to sound like a crappy inspirational speaker, but the day is always what YOU make it to be, no matter what the circumstances may be. so just choose to make tomorrow a better day!

  2. Yeah, yeah, I know. I've just had one of those days. I could've turned it positive or negative, but I think I'm just keep it middle ground for today, and hope for a better tomorrow. Sorry if it was a boring read for you. You don't seem very enthused by it...
