I'm sure quite a few of you know of the Blue Day Book by Bradly Trevor Greive? Quite a lovely book actually, with animal pictures and things, well, the Black Day Book is um...similar to that. Except well...here, I'll give you the lines that are in it, it's disturbing.
Any day can be a black day.
These are the days when you know you're a mere speck on the earth
when you are no longer able to delude yourself that there is a point to it all.
Life is a slog, and some days are beyond endurance.
When you're stuck in traffic,
the elements conspire against you,
your flight is cancelled.
You need to decide if you will let the world push you around,
or if you will fight back.
On black days the world is against you.
It's right that you feel paranoid.
The panic rises,
frantically you search for comfort in all the wrong places, (baby duck on a rabbit hee)
you feel abandoned in a scorching desert
and dread lurks over your shoulder.
...and so on. I'll just skip to the end where it um...'cheers you up'.
Dont let yourself become one of those gentle souls who wants to save the world. Is it really worth saving? What with pollution and the hole in the ozone layer, global warming, overpopulation, the threat of terrorism (I find it ironic that the picture is a bald eagle...), war, karaoke, and aging rock stars who just wont quit. But worst of all there's love. Which inevitably leads to heartbreak, hate-mail, emotional baggage, paranoia, sleeping alone, insecurity, loneliness and despair.
So how can you avoid the nauseating feeling that you're sliding into a pool of squalid slime? Its simple. Avoid people. They're only going to hurt you. Lose your ambition. It wont get you anywhere. Remember that you are -always- right, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Never say you're sorry. Don't worry about other people. They need to grow up and look after themselves. Make scary faces at small children. Sleep alot -- it kills time. Stop worrying about your personal appearance, nobody notices you anyway. Avoid positive people, they're just deluding themselves. Why worry about consequences? If you're lucky, today might be your last. Sit back and watch life pass you by. What are you really going to miss? Just another black day.
yeah, to save on space I put the pages into paragraphs >_> Now, is this a book supposed to cheer you up or what?
