Shit in one hand, complain in the other, and see which one fills the fastest.
Why am I like this? I think it is my personal history. All the bad stuff I have gone through, all of the close calls. I can always look at things and say,
"Well, at least it isn't raining."
"Well, at least I'm not sleeping on Poison Ivy."
"Well, at least they don't have a machine gun."
"Well, at least the bills are paid."
"Well, at least there is beer in the fridge."
"Hey, chicks dig scars."
Et cetera.
Things could always get worse. Appreciate the situation for what it is. You thing it can't get worse? Just say these words: "This can't get worse."

"I used to complain I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet."
yeah that's about sums it up for me. I try to remember that someone or something worse is out there than what's happening to me now.
