It\u2019s a pisser when things don\u2019t work out the way you want them to.\u00a0The problem with life is, you always get carried away. You kind of assume things will happen and when people let you down you\u2019ve got to take the come down. Then comes the recognition, realisation (oh for fuck\u2019s sake) and there are two things you can do:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take the shit, keep your head down and don\u2019t whinge<\/li>\n
  2. Roll the dice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    See, I think life is just a series of choices. Not good or bad, just choices.\u00a0There are no answers, only choices.\u00a0Rolling the dice is when this moment rears its head. You don\u2019t know where it\u2019s going to come from, you don\u2019t know where it will lead, you just hope that the grass can be greener somewhere else. (I wonder how many clich\u00e9s I can use today?)<\/p>\n

    So the way I try to think of it, is I just have to change the situation.I may not think it\u2019s fair or anything, but what the fuck does it matter anyway?<\/p>\n

    Decision made. Out of my hands.\u00a0I just got to take the gamble and roll\u2026<\/p>\n
