Doctor Dramedy

Piracy is bad. Ooo don’t we all know it? But let’s face it — once in a while, especially in this country, it is tolerated.

I was at home for several days in a row. It had been raining buckets. So I had to find a cheap way to remove myself from utter boredom without actually having to go out. As it happened, (pirated) House Season 4 DVDs were my way out.

Piracy at its finest

Not bad, yeah? Dr. Gregory House and his people at Princeton Plainsboro Hospital. Nice pictures. And they’re the right pictures. But oh… ohhh WAITJUSTAMINUTE!

LOL Okay terrible picture on my part SRY

The plot goes on about 2 high school kids named Lucas and Nathan and they have a common love for basketball, but that’s about the only thing they have in common. For some reason they can’t get along. But little do they know — *gasp* — they share the same father!

And no, it’s not Dr. House.

Nathan? Lucas? One Tree Hill WTF

Thank goodness the DVD itself had the right content!

Them DVD pirates are funny.

What a ride!

Life is a roller coaster.

This cliche is used so much because it’s… applicable. Sometimes we’re stuck at the top and you can’t complain; the view is breathtaking. Sometimes we’re stuck at the bottom and wonder when the damn thing’s gonna take you to the top already.

But sometimes, it’s neither. And this is what I’ve been feeling lately:

I’m stuck at the top of the figurative roller coaster, yes, but that breathtaking view is something I can’t appreciate at the moment. That’s if I can still see at all, with all the blood rushing to my head.

You see, I’m at the top of the loop-de-loop. The ride is stuck, and I’m stuck hanging upside down. My glasses have fallen off so what little is left of my vision is blurry. My arms hang above my head, swaying with the wind as if in mockery of the situation, and they’re getting numb. Gravity is slowly pulling me loose…

And the only thing keeping me from crashing to the ground a hundred feet below is a flimsy seatbelt.

How’s that for a cliche?
