Things I Don't Understand (Volume Nine)

Out of everything out there, there is one thing that stands out among the rest as the most confusing topic in the history of man: life.
What's the deal with life? I'm starting to get the feeling that life is bipolar. Imagine standing there with an ice cream cone, ready to dive into it with excitement. Life walks up and smacks the ice cream cone out of your hand. Your surprise is mixed with sadness and you're left standing there crying like an idiot. Life sees this and hands you a puppy and leaves. Once again, you are surprised, but at least you aren't nearly as depressed anymore.
Example? Fine.
This whole school year I have spent preparing myself for the Japan trip of 2011. A few weeks ago, an earthquake hit the island and tsunamis raged afterward. Here I am thinking, "Seriously? Dang it." A week or two later, announcements start sounding over the intercom at school announcing a trip to Europe. A really odd coincidence? Or is it life trying to make up for being such a jerk? You decide.
