small frustrations have enhanced my joy

so, if you look a few posts down, you see that i posted a picture of a bike. well, the owner and i had arrangements for me to buy the bike today. but last night the guy texted me and said he sold it to someone... oh, i was livid. i was so incredibly frustrated that he just undercut me like that, i felt so sold out and ataken a fool that i want to cry, punch through walls, yell at the top of my lungs and die all at the same time. i had my heart set on it so solid that when i found out that he had sold it out from under me, i was utterly devastated... oh, the horror~! i had such a miserable night last night and all day today.

but... i look online and i see an ad. what??! what is THaT???!!? i saw the exact same model for sale, and its a color that i like more, AND its closer to me, not in no-mans-land-nibley in northern utah. i feel reborn, a new man, happy again, life is now livable! oh the joy! im so excited that i just called the guy (11p) and told him im going to look at it in the morning at 7a (he actually suggested that i come so early). but now my excitement is so unbearable that i know i wont be able to sleep...

heres a picture:

The only thing that bars you now from perfect bliss, Cobe, is a braid at the end of your beard. Good luck with your first date tomorrow morning.

haha! So with Coby venting his frustration and ending with elation, I can see how this blog would be best private. Not because he said something private, but because it is a place of refuge for the emotions. I vote Nony. Thanks for your inspiration Cobe!

maybe you should ask Eli about the motorcyclist he saw smooshed all over the road in front of him... would that detour you?
