Tell me your worst Groundhog Day...

October 10th 2006 10:56
I was just watering the plants in my front garden as I usually do in the evenings...with a watering can of course...when it hit me...how many things to we do each day, simply because they need doing? Then I started thinking, what day would be my worst day to relive over and over and over.....or what would be the worst aspect of a day to relive and over and over...

I think you get the idea of my question....

Tell me which day you'd hate to relive and why....

I'm a good listener...I'm a good listener...I'm a good listener....

That's a tough question to answer.

Today would have to be the worst day of my life since ...

yesterday ...

Yesterday was the worst day of my life since ...

the day before yesterday ...

At least Phil Connors learned from his mistakes ...

Hi Homer

Yes, I guess life is quite like that isn't it? On the positive side, when it's a crappy day you tend to think or naively hope there has to be a better one in sight. But then when it's a good day, we fret about how long the happiness will last. Well, I know I do...

The trick would be to let the harder days toddle off into the past and relish the better days...maybe that would encourage more of them....

I noticed I used global terms like you were talking about in your 'they' post...you and we....who are they?

Tracey,

You tripper,

That's a you in the personal you type of you not the vague universal pluralistic you that includes every you that has ever existed (even though 'we' know that you are the only you that ever existed) ... and when I refer to 'we' ... that's the you and I we not the collective we that includes anyone else besides you and I (in the singular) ... This is getting way too hard for me to keep track of now ... (Or should I write the Matrix 4?) ...

Homer ...

I knew who 'you' and 'we' were...but I was worried about getting too global and non-specific...but I think I've now created a sub-philosophical tangent...

PS is being a tripper a good thing? Sorry to sound naive, but I'm sometimes not up on Aussie lingo...(I'm Welsh and that's a whole other story)...

PPS Yes, I think you should write The Matrix 4.....

Tracy,

A tripper is someone who is 'out there' ... as in, not totally conventional or conservative ... (like someone who would go to work on a smart-casual day wearing tuxedo pants and a t-shirt and go ... Well you said smart casual) ... The term tripper (in Australia anyway) comes from 'taking a trip' (as in an acid trip LSD) ... not a day trip on a train ...

That Matrix stuff is going to do my head in tonight if I keep going with it ... I'm about to go to floor (most people go to bed ... but I don't own a bed so I go to floor) ...

I'll catch you again for another do-each-other's-heads-in session ...

Always Great ...

I'm off to read my bedtime book ... 'The Eternal Optimist' by Saul Good ...

Hi Homer

I fell for your book pun...good one, very cryptic or maybe I'm just tired...anyhoo, it made me chuckle.

Aaah, now I understand what 'tripper' means. I knew of it in the drug-sense of the word, but not in the way you meant, very interesting...

The honest answer
The day my dad died after losing his battle with cancer.....I still relive it from time to time, life will never be the same.


The JohnDoe answer

Hello John

Thanks for your post. I can imagine you often involuntarily relive that day. I often relive the day of my sister's death. Like you said, life will never be the same.

So, you really detested Forrest Gump? I can't stand films with that much hype surrounding it, it usually makes me decide to never see the film, unless it's accidental. It was so mushy wasn't it? That Southern twang didn't help either.
