Change Your Day with One Simple Drive By
I found the secret to happiness, and it doesn’t cost a nickel. Do you ever wake up bummed about life for no reason? Don’t Worry!! I have the secret to happiness!! It’s an automatic mood changer. Trust me, it works! Or at least it worked for me this morning. I woke up pissed off, because all I wanted to do was sleep in but couldn’t. From the shower to my car, I was pissed. Then something magical happened; something magical that changed my mood and my view on life forever…. Curious? I bet you are. Normally, I don’t divulge these types of secrets; however, since you’re a loyal follower of my blog, I’m going to share my secret to happiness with you today. Two words: Public Transportation! What? Yeah, that’s right, Public Transportation! As I was driving to work, I drove by a “BUS STOP,” and I saw the look on the faces of the people waiting for the bus and thought to myself, “At least that isn’t me” and automatically I felt better. The look of pain on their depression ridden faces waiting for the bus got me thinking, “Life could be worse.” At least I don’t have to take the bus to work. You think I’m kidding, well I am not. I then drove around the block to make sure that was the reason for my mood change, and I checked out the bus stop again; wouldn’t you know it, I felt even better! Think how much it would suck to have to take the bus to work. Sitting next to complete strangers, probably named Hector, listening to screaming babies, all the while your thinking about how you’re going to get through another shitty day. At least in a car you have your own personal space, where you can bump rap music you know the lyrics to, singing along pretending to be black for that 45 minute commute. This is something I will cherish and never take for granted again. So if your boss yells at you, take a 5 minute ride and drive by a bus stop. If you wake up in the morning at your parents’ house at the age of 24, drive a by a Bus Stop. When a certain person, named Matt Anderson, is wearing a flannel at the same time as you, take 15 minutes and drive by a Bus Stop. Just look at the people waiting in line. But don’t get too close, they might bite. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to get rabies. I am not saying people that take the bus are bad. I’m just saying that I am better than anyone taking the bus. If you are offended by what I am saying, you are too poor to read my blog, and my advice to you is save some money, buy a 1988 civic save 2 bucks for a gallon of gas, and drive by the BUS STOP.
