I wonder what other answers to life's great questions we may find in the Oxford American Dictionary! I should probably be sleeping, but I can't. So I thought I might as well blog. Now that I'm 3 lines into this I feel more like bowing in front the porcelain god in the bathroom... I always forget how miserable it is to be sick. But here I am, so...

Life is too strange to be believed as anything other than reality. Even fiction is not this dubious.

Yesterday I had to go to the States to mail a DVD of wedding pictures to a client. I was driving away when I realized I'd forgotten the DVD... So I went back. On my way out the door the second time, I realized I needed the mailing address of the client, so I went back to get it.

Now, I had a pretty easy time crossing the border to the States, but it's kind of an inconvenience. I'm only about 20 minutes away from Lynden, WA, but it usually takes about an hour to get there because of lineups at the border - and it's the same coming back.

I made it to the post office just before they closed. I grabbed the address, but the DVD was nowhere to be found. I searched high and low, but no DVD. "What in the world..." I thought out loud. That was the whole reason I came down to the States in the first place. So I ran to the mini storage, got gas, and headed back to Canada.

When I got home, there was the DVD on my desk, lying right where I left it when I came back to get the address...

"Brandon," Jay said, "how does that happen? You seem like a very logical individual and that's a very illogical thing."

Thanks for the support, Jay! He's the one that suggested I blog this.

At lunch today I mentioned that I haven't been sick at all this year. Not 30 minutes later I felt a sore throat coming on. Now I feel like I'm writing this from my death bed. There's no use in seeing a doctor. The only thing they could tell me, I already know: "You won't live through the night... I'm sorry." When they say they're sorry, I believe it - that's one less returning customer...

Friends, it's been good, but I should probably click publish before I expire. Goodnight and farewell.

Melodramatic, adjective:

Well, no guidance for life there...
