A Little Irony

I feel the lyrics in Alanis Morissette's song Ironic represent some of the events from this past weekend. The lost of Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes, the murder of a former olympian's father in China, the list could really just go on and on. Sometimes I forget how quick life can escape me. I take for granted the people in my life, I don't call, say "I Love You", or visit. I am clearly no stranger to death, but I seem to push those thoughts aside. I never think about what if I do not wake in the morning, what if my sister, mother, father, friend do not wake in the morning. Have I done everything to the best of my ability to say what I need to say and do what I need to do for these people and even for myself? Sometimes I'm scared to react in certain situations. I'm working on working past my fear since fear is just an emotion not an actual state of mind. Do you feel there are things you are dragging your heels about? I feel that today is the day that I regain control...phone a friend to say hi, say what I mean, complete tasks. Hopefully if you feel like me you'll do the same! Good Luck!


An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
