I'm about the most reliable, unreliable person I know. Let's use this weekend as an example. I fully intended on coming out to help set up for the banquet this weekend. Put the time and date in my phone, on my calendar and on the white board on my fridge. I'm ready! Friday comes, the front end of my car has been a bit wobly, I hit a pothole and the whole thing starts to shake badly. I get to the closest mechanics shop and wait 3 hours to find out it's completely undrivable. My suspension has seized on the left side of my car and is shot on the right. Let me mention too, that I just got this car a new clutch, new tie rods and new sparkplugs all within the past month. So fuming and dissappointed, I park it, get a hold of my boss and explain to him that I have a banquet I need to set up for, could I please, please, please borrow a work truck. He says yes. Great! I'm ready! Get up in the morning to my cat acting really weird. He was digging in the litter box for over an hour, I go take a look and see what he's doing. He's climbing in and out, looking like he's trying to go to the bathroom but nothing is coming out. I call the vet, he tells me to get him in right away because he could have a blockage that would require emergency surgery. I called Silent River to tell Sifu that I wouldn't make it. Luckily for my cat, he just needed medication and now a special food, unlucky for me, I have to pay for this.
This is not an isolated event. It's actually quite normal for me. I would make quite a comical character in a sitcom. I have given myself a blackeye with a drill a day before Christmas Eve, dropped my table on my foot and fractured it in the middle of moving, had my car drive itself in the middle of 51st ave with me chasing it (True Story) I could go on and on.
I wish I could be reliable, the universe just won't let me.
I won't be in Kung Fu for awhile, I don't have a vehicle. I will however, practice my shoulder rolls and forms as much as I can until I return. Bad luck can only last with one person so long right? It's gotten so ridiculous all I can do is laugh.
