Why I Don't Feel Like Going To Bed....

Besides that I'm a night owl—what's worth another night just knowing that:

1. I shouldn't expect to wake up anything good?
2. If I was going to wake up to anything good, I might have jinxed it by writing this blog post?
3. If I thought that I was going to jinx it and maybe didn't jinx it after all, thinking that I might be surprised and have something good happen after all might just end up jinxing it, anyway—at least eventually?

And so goes that endless vicious cycle of:

1. I'll be disappointed.
2. I'll think, "Wait a minute. Maybe I'll be surprised."
3. I'll be hopeful.
4. I'll be disappointed after all, and perhaps more than I expected.

In the end, I'll probably be disappointed. Somehow, I always am. So, my life philosophy goes:

That is, "Always expect the worst...you'll rarely be disappointed [or at least surprised]."
