what is "one of those days"?

one of those days:
  • where nothing goes your way?
  • everything is just too much/too hard/too stupid/too wierd
  • you can't get it right
  • you just can't get it
  • no one likes you
  • everyone hates you
  • you're wrong
  • you're not wrong but you suck, so
  • you may as well just be wrong
  • everyone seems insane
  • everyone seems stupid
  • everyone seems to be annoying
  • you wish it wasn't one of those days
  • you feel like you are stuck in the episode of seinfeld where Newman was everywhere/everybody got thrown in jail/people popped out of nowhere demanding you buy them dinner and then only ordering soup to save the dinner for another time/the soup nazi hated you/you got blacklisted from a coffee shop
  • you can't stop wishing that people would stop calling it "one of those days"
  • you can't stop wishing the above especially since it seems like there are alot more than just ONE
  • you can't stop wishing that you were somewhere else... like between the moon and new york city
  • you wonder why no one says the phrase:

"just one of those days", when:

  • everything is just dandy
  • everything is just perfect
  • you can't stop winning
  • everything you touch turns to gold
  • everything you do is brilliant
  • people can't stop worshipping your excellency
  • hair looks great
  • you feel great
  • the sea will part for you

What about halfway through the day when everything is just dandy/perfect/fantastic and then it turns into "one of those days"? Shouldn't there be a cutoff point? Like, if your luck hasn't turned by 3pm it's not going to. Surely someone somewhere should say, "No, no.. today is a good day... try again tomorrow - let her carry on happy."

No such stupid luck.

There is always something, anything, everything, anytime, anywhere, anyone, everyone, everywhere.

Does this constitute 'glass half full until someone knocks it over and smashes the glass to smithereens' mentality?

I wish I were caught between the moon and new york city sometimes...like now...

"I know it's crazy...

But it's true..."

(good song, that... actually, another good song is "rain, rain, go away. come again another day. surely 'rain' is code for whatever random occurence that has just triggered the sabotaging of a great sense of contentment and pleasure with the state of your universe as you know it)

P.S. I'm not miserable, and I'm not even grumpy. I am just very, very, very tired of being on an emotional rollercoaster. If I want to get taken for a ride, I'll go to an amusement park...
