When It Rains, It Pours

There has been no rain here in Bermuda for the past 3 weeks. And yet, I feel like there's a dark cloud hanging over me.



I guess it started when my mother-in-law came to Bermuda. It wasn't bad having her here. In fact, I liked it when she was here because my wife was so happy. But that was the same time the dark cloud appeared.



First, I joined a new group at work. I got this crazy schedule and a very demanding client. The fact that I have to come in an hour early to work and go home on hour late just made it worse.



Then our air conditioner broke. Hell on earth! 85 degrees every day and the sea air. We couldn't even breath when we're at home. Some days I wanted to buy a tent and camp outside. At least it's cooler than in the bedroom.



After that, my bike broke down. Another hell on earth. I feel like I broke both my legs. It took my mechanic 2 weeks to get the bike back to me.



Then last Saturday, the bike broke down again. At least it can still move, I thought. But I have to turn the throttle whenever the bike stops moving or the engine shuts down. I tried getting an appointment at my mechanic's Monday morning but they were fully booked.



To top it all off, I got a traffic summons yesterday. Me? Come on. I'm the most caustious driver in the world. I never drive above 60 kmh on a bike. Ever! And here this police officer said I broke 71. On my bike? That is just ridiculous. And when I wanted to see the radar reading, he won't let me. And now I have to go to court just so I can pay my fine. And that's in August. Bummer.



I don't know. Even in draught season, the rain drops keep falling on my head and the rest of my effing life. Well....

First of many

Why the senseless sensibilities?



That's my main question. That's the whole reason for this blog. This question is the rail on which my thought train is going to move on. I know the train is slow and the rails are rusty, but given time, it will get there.



I admit that this blog is for my own selfish needs. It's a place for me to cut loose (without purposely offending someone else) and to try to understand this world I'm living in.



On this blog space, I will talk about my life. I will talk about the current news. I will talk about my favourite topics - Football (that's soccer to you Americans) and comics (the printed kind, not the annoying people who stand up in front of people and making a fool of themselves).



Any views that I have, I will air them out. They are not meant to insult or offend anybody. They are just my opinions. If you can respect that, I will respect yours. Rebuttals are welcomed but please do not force your views on me or anyone else. That's like hitting your head on the wall many times to get rid of a brain tumor. It won't work so don't try. Trust me.



So, happy times ahead. Keep reading and we can all be better people because of it.



Cheers.
