Day 104: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back


Every time I catch a break, something comes along to murder my joy.

Osprey Cove is a scandalous place to live. The most controversial of their policies - and also the one they don't tell you about - is that they tow cars of non-residents after midnight. This literally means that if you're visiting a friend and you stay one minute after midnight, chances are a tow truck is already stealing your car, shuffling it off to a storage center, and waiting to ask you for lots of money before they give it back to you. I should know, it just happened to me.

First of all, it's not cool at all that this is actually a policy. I can't imagine who would want to not allow their friends to stay a little late (and in this day and age, midnight really isn't all that late). Second of all, they don't tell anyone that they're changing these policies: they don't WANT you to know, they want their money. This only seems fair if you're a scam artist or a scumbag.

It's not fun to wake up and realize your car is missing. It's just not. Trust me on that one. And it is equally unfun to have to run around town to find it and pay ridiculous amounts of money to get your car back. But whatever, I get it. God forbid Josh Marcum actually ever catches a break, right?

Only one as you could change distress into acceptance
You can't fight the past
So why try?
It's all alright.

Song: "Washin' + Wonderin'" by Stroke 9. Alternative pop/rock. It's an upbeat and happy-sounding song, but in the right (or wrong) context, this song is just... why?
