too

A friend of mine is always telling me that if I just think positive then the Universe will bring me what I want.  She even has a 365-page-a-day calendar that reminds her of this fact each day, in addition to a well-read copy of The Secret.

I don't believe in The Secret.  I believe in hard work and just a little bit of luck...and a whole heaping of fate thrown in for good measure.

I don't know if I believe in a Divine Plan for my life or anyone's life.  A priest with whom I used to chat told me that you have to work for things and not just pray.

So when a voice mentioned that I want him too, I said nothing.  I hung up the phone and addressed the Universe:

Universe, you know, this isn't the least bit amusing.  It has nothing to do with my wants--it has everything to do with timing.  The timing for this whole situation is off--way off.  And I would have liked this fixed, but since that isn't happening, let's just leave little phrases like too out of conversations, because that gives me the faintest glimmer of hope.  Everytime I get to hoping I get thrown on the ropes like a no-name contestant on WWF Smackdown.

And I'm addled enough without being punchdrunk.
