Ha! I Just Knew Something Bad Was Gonna Happen!
2000-02-09 18:20:53
I knew it! I'm doomed to die an early painful death! I'm completely unsurprised by this -- in fact, I pretty much expected that things would turn out this way. The Mayo clinic has just released a report that pessimists die younger. OK, it doesn't actually mention pain, but I'm sure it'll be horrible.
It's actually a good thing that it's not the other way around -- those poor, foolish optimists would never have been prepared for this kinda bad news. But us pessimists are contently braced for the world to, yet again, screw us over.
Now I'm going to go sit in the dark and wait for death. It'll probably happen real soon, probably just as things are starting to look a little brighter. It's when you start to hope that everything goes wrong ya know.
