The Summer Suck List

trying to poke holes in something otherwise perfect

over-analyzing

too much talk; not enough action

Con Ed, Time Warner, the MTA (all of whom have drastically f*ed something up this summer)

when the subways don't run because of a flood, an "investigation", a power outage specifically in my neighborhood, a track fire, etc etc etc

fever blisters that pop up days before your best friends wedding

realising your out of milk after you've put the berries and the protein into the blender

a cell phone that shuts off whenever it wants to; mid conversation, mid day, mid receiving text message. whenever it wants, for whatever reason; cell phones that try to do too much and end up not doing anything well like say, staying ON or lasting more than a day w/o charging; cell phones that cannot feasibly last 2 years with the "new every two"

how something that cannot even remotely be my fault somehow becomes my fault; how doing a favor for someone else somehow turns into something much bigger and worse than originally thought

trying to run when it's 90 plus˚

running 12 miles when it feels more like swimming (on the hottest and most humid day of the whole summer)

giving up every friday night to go to bed early so i can get up at the crack of dawn to run before it gets said hot

being as hungry as a horse everyday all day but never having any appetite (and craving only chocolate and tomatoes)

arguing about things that can't be solved with words; arguing about the past; trying to change the past; he said/she said conversations
