Sad news announcement...

This day and night, the seventeenth of July 2014 is about to end in the Eastern Daylight Time zone.

Those of us who will remember all of the good and bad that this day has given us, will mourn its departure, as it becomes lost in the constant shifting sands of time.

What will we tell our young loved ones about this day? Will we remember it in the many more days to come? Will we mark this day on future calendars?

There will never be another day exactly like today, we will see after its passing, nary another one quite like it.

Once gone, it will never return. All hopes of making something more out of it, lost.

So farewell, sweet 17th of July 2014, you were both the best and the worst and we will miss you as a dear friend.

Time to welcome a new day, full of fresh opportunities and disasters.

Hello, 18th of July 2014. We await your blessings and curses.

When bad shit happens on your birthday it makes it harder to ever forget. But yes, moving on, as that southern belle twit once said, "Tomorrow is another day."

I was in a good mood. Now I'm all depressed and paranoid that tomorrow will suck and I'll long for the 17th of July. What's worse? This day hasn't been all that great. So, you have planted the seed in my brain that I will long for mediocrity.

Dude. Why?
