A very rare Coopertom rant! DONT HAVE TO READ
14 years ago
General
I'm always a happy go lucky kinda guy. I don't rant or bitch about things cause to be frank I don't have much to rant or bitch about but these past few days have really set me off. I'm just gonna vent now. You don't have to read any further if you don't like. I'm just doing this for me to get it off my chest.
People always say karma is a bitch. So if you do something shitty its gonna come around and bite you in the ass somehow. So why the fuck did all this bad shit happen to me this past week or so. I think I have reverse karma. Like I will get something good then something twice as bad will happen which then leaves me worse off before the good happened.
So I got a bonus at work and I was sweet score! Then I find out they just dump a fuck ton of work on me then I have to train some asshole that is dumber than shit for a month. I used to like going into work and now its just a living hell for me and everyday just gets worse and worse. I wish they kept their fucking bonus and left me the fuck alone to just do my job.
Here is another one. My dad and I work really hard on fixing up this smashed Audi TT and did all the paper work and bullshit to pass the nj state salvage inspection. The car passes with flying colors. So again I was like sweet score! That very same day the Audi becomes street legal I get stuck in a flood with my Mini Cooper which is now most likely totaled. Yup my Mini Cooper is totally fucked. Water got into the car and the engine and hydro locked the engine and bent a connecting rod. So got an Audi, lost the mini which was my actual car car that I used. I babied my Mini for 9 years, took very good care of it. It only had 45,000 miles on it. Im so fucking pissed.
And to top it all off I come home from work today to find my dog chewed up my 120gb Zune. I had about $300 total invested in that thing with the car adapters, protective cases and docking stations.
Now if this karma what the fuck did I do. I think I'm a nice guy. I'm not an asshole to anyone (I just pretend to be an asshole sometimes) I help people, I make people laugh, I do nothing but good and this is the shit that I have to deal with. I keep telling myself I could be really worse off and I should be glad these are my only problems but just looks like there is no fucking end in sight.
Its not just these occurrences, its like my whole life, I never benefit from something or have something work out in my favor. That is just not my luck. I always some how end up in the negative or if I'm lucky just brake even. I'm never in the positive.

If things really do get balanced out, I've got infinite coming back to me. I'm not sure I care to wait that long though.
You certainly don't deserve this, knowing you personally, loving to make others laugh, and generally just giving to everyone around you. I really wish the best of times to you.
Hopefully things will work out for you.
I'll cheer you up with some red plastic cups and take you to a fancy restaurant.
the universe needed to balance your goodness with some badness
:3 my theory
but that all sucks bro >: sorry to hear about it
We still expect it.
Maybe those comments about the banjo museum did it.
This is Oklahoma it is the best it has to offer.
Seriously, I hope your luck changes for the better! *hugs*
Seriously dont let it get to ya, everyone has waves of things that are just insanely stupid hit them from time to time.
You could look at it as decent people like yourself paying to let the stupid people run a muck freely and somehow not die. (i dunno sounded better in my head then on words :P)
And no worries on the rant. It doesn't dent your awesomeness
I wouldnt say all your luck is negative or just breaks even......you ended up getting me I say you are one lucky s.o.b to have a girlfriend that loves yea and would do anything for you =3
Everything will get better soon...i know it will. Now dont make me go over there and rape your fine ass.
Cheer up yo, maybe mercury is in retrograde or something...ya have FF to look forward to too! :3
It seems like our generation can only stay at a job for so long before it turns to shit and becomes unbearable, it's pretty lame. I'd say 4 or 5 years is the new limit on jobs i think.
I'm sorry this had to happen to you, though.
you seem like a pretty genuine person and don't really deserve it. :/
Still a sweet car and it sucks that this happened. But I bet the TT will be a blast.
I have little reason to think any of this is through any fault of your own; From what I do know about you, you're an awesome dude who wants nothing better than to make people around him smile and laugh. it's just that life's a trip, and you can't sign a waiver that excludes you from the misfortunes that can happen over the course of a normal workweek. Unless you have it in a legally binding document, nothing in life is guaranteed and a lot of things, good and bad, are transient.
You're frustrated because your mind doesn't want to face the reality of suffering. It's this refusal that prevents the mind from moving forward. You gotta turn these things around, see a positive. A person at minimum wage or no wage wouldn't be able to afford what you have, and there's people out there who don't have a roof over their head to return to. Contrary to popular belief, the longest lines are not at the DMV; it's people in line for unemployment. Be thankful for what you have, and if there are some things within your grasp you can do to prevent disaster, go for it.
Something happens, you may want to fall back on a friend who's been through something similar to help you cope, but don't dwell too long on it. If there's nothing you can do about it, move on and don't worry about it. Keep a positive vibe going.
No doubt about it, what you are going through now is a Grade A Shituation. I don't think you deserve any of this misfortune as you are one of the nicest and most charismatic people that I've ever met. I can relate so much with you on a good amount of things, and it's because of those reasons that you are one of my heroes in the fandom.
Hang in there dude, may fortune and good luck shine upon your future! *hugs* :3
Well, coopertom, It would appear that you have been doing something amazing... And i know that everyone has been saying that something big is coming for you, but this doesnt seem to be a normal case with you... I dont know, and i cannot tell what is going to happen, nor any real advice to give u, Since i do not know you at all... But it seems that you are strong enough to put up with these events. You see, only those individuals who are given trials are given true strength, but only those individuals who grasp this are open to that strength. There is a catch, though. The power that you are given through adversity is there to test your character. When your character is revealed, it will fuel changes in your community. It always does, but it all depends on how you deal with it. It's a red pill blue pill situation. You freak out and give up, so do the people around you. You stand up and learn from adversity, you better your world and ready yourself for whatever is going to stand in your way.
Most people think "Why me?" Really, Why not you? Influence follows karma. How you deal with what is given creates the example of how you wish others would deal with it. It doesnt matter why it happens. The fact that it happens is all that matters, because if it didn't would you have ever had the chancve to learn.
So, from here on out, no matter hat happens to you, laugh at it. smile and say "Well, glad it was me, cuz now i can become stronger."
I'm really sorry that it's been so tough for you lately. I can definitely relate, as I've had a string of bad times myself from the day AC ended until just yesterday. Including unexpected expenses (some of which are unfair) that will eat up a big chunk the bonus I was so happy to have gotten recently. I'm finally getting back on track just now.
Karma is a bitch because karma is flawed sometimes. And nice guys don't finish last, they're nice guys. That in itself is something appreciated and respected. Nice guys make genuine friends, meaningful relationships, and are extremely likable all-around. :)
Keep your chin up and keep moving forward, ok? It's not going to be crummy forever, and most likely, not for much longer. I'm here for you if you ever want to vent more, so feel free to send me a note or message anytime. <3
*gives a great big hug*
I'm sorry you gotta deal with all that, man. You're right, things could be worse though. Maybe life is done taking a diarrhea dump on you for now and you can get back to the good stuff. I wish you the best of luck in that regard.
*tiger bro hug*
gd luck for teh future bro! *more wolf hugz*
And really man, damn shame to hear about that mini, at least you go the audi to rock now, i think cars have souls, my buddies civic would break everytime he helped me on my car. Maybe your mini got jealous of the TT and did itself in. Idk, i hope thinks start workin out better for ya man. Just keep on truckin'
I got up. I filed for EDD. I searched for a job. I called my agencies and I got off my ass and trying to find a job.
And I will not stop. And neither should you.
A line from a movie that I love "Life will knock us down but we can choose to get back up."
And I've chosen to get back up.
my life's been going down hill as well not as bad as you but still downhill. Good luck to ya man.
I guess none of us are immune to the occasional reverse-karma shitstorm. I've had dogs eating my electronics, dumfucked employees, and more than my share of bent rods and hydrolocked motors.
...never managed to drive into any lakes, though, so you're one-up on me there... XD
At least all of it will make for some funny stories after the storm blows over.
Well, I need to go wash my hands, I'm typing with blood on them... the blood, it's not murder blood if that is what you are thinking :P
Hang in there dude, plenty of cons to cheer you up! ^^
