Yet another weird day... Just like any other.

Oh well, such is life. And when you thrive in irony and cynicism, it's no wonder that your thoughts turn towards... let's face it, the duller side of life. Yet the comedy of errors prevail. You laugh, with just a hint of a sneer because it's funny in a rather pathetic way. It being anything that got your attention for the moment. A distraction. Something to divert your attention from focusing on the monotony of existence. After a really crappy day, anything can be funny. Like the way a pencil breaks just when you were in the middle of writing a sentence. Oh yes, anything can really be funny.

And weirdness, in all its strange glory, becomes perfectly normal...

Life is a joke. A joke by the cosmos made at your expense. Truth be told, you're just one of the many poor suckers turned into actors for some outrageous play. That's it. A show, just a show. So you might as well make the most out of the performance. Play the part till the end and laugh at yourself while you're at it. After all, the world's laughing at you anyway.
Something I wrote while my officemates and I were ranting about some stupid task we all had to do.

On day like this, hearing some truth only hurts more.
A play? So true. Or is death on the stage the only way to start an investigation to save others?
Will they care?
