Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive and the Chink in the Armour

Yeah, I can totally sell as many of these as the Harry Potter books. Here's some sample titles

-Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive and the Cloak of Positivity
-Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive and the Cancelled Credit Card
-Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive and the Revenge of the Moving Stair
-Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive and the Raging Tertiary Syphillis
-Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive and the Balding Hobbit Pervert

NY Times Bestseller List here I fucking come! Oh, and the raging tertiary syphillis thing is a joke. I'm clean....ladies.


Well today's been a hard one for old Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive and his cloak of positivity, the chink in the armour being that sometimes it's just a wee bit too hard to be so fucking cheery all the time. The job front is, like the Western front, as desireable to walk in as a pair of Crocs made of acid and rusty nails. Yep, unemployment is still being a houseguest who doesn't understand that he's overstayed his welcome and doesn't seem to be in any rush to take the hint.

Apart from that though, today was okay. I panicked a bit about not having booked my flights home for graduation (December 7th) or for Christmas (December 25th) and also about the usual big three (money/career/love life) but I had the radio on in the kitchen and that cheered me up. I also had a ridiculously long bath and listened to Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughn Williams, which calmed me down a bit. Lovely piece (forgive the cheesy video, just turn off your screen and listen to it)


Now, I'm still a bit down, and it's raining outside, a fierce gale blowing in accompaniment. So, keeping true to the promise of Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive, I'm going to go out an walk in the rain for a bit - something that always cheers me up.

Ciaooooooo

  2. Other suggested titles include: Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive goes Postal at the Job Centre.
    Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive prays to the Spire of Dublin.
    Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive takes over stewardship of the Playboy mansion.
    Happy-go-fucking-lucky McPositive finds cure for cancer in pizza.

    I think there already was a Harry Potter and the Balding Hobbit Pervert, though.

    Oh, and, Dude, chink is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-European, please ;)

  3. If these were the Harry potter titles I would read them. If it makes you feel any better there is a girl(me) in the U.S. who too is trying to stay Ms. Positive so hard, and I fell a off the bandwagon a lil too. It's raining here too in New York. I hope you can still book your flights, try Expedia.com or maybe a discounted airline ticket site to help ya out. That lady plays the violin so prettily. Yea the video is cheesy but I enjoyed listening to it. Hope your day gets a lil better!!! =)

  4. Hey there,


    Melanie- I hope the positivity thing works for you. It has for me!

    I walked in the rain last night with my drum, and it made me inexplicably happy. It actually prompted me to write about it, and now I'm all smiles.

    My parents surprised me with two return tickets. It's my Christmas present and they really can't afford to be spending hundreds of pounds on me before Christmas, I spent hours crying when I got the email, I'm so lucky.

    Thank you mel

    Oh, and sorry for my racist ways, I should really be less racist.
