sometimes everything just seems to work against you, all at the same time.
not one piece of technology cooperates with you, every person around you annoys you, your nose won't stop running, and you just can't seem to get anything done no matter how hard you try.
and you know your life still falls under the "good" side of things, as far as life goes.
but moments like these, you just wish it was different.

tracy jordan
I have been watching 30 Rock for the last week or so, and I have discovered something remarkable.
His name is Tracy Jordan.
Tracy Jordan is a character on 30 Rock, played by Tracy Morgan. He loves to drink, party, engage in various acts of questionable legality, and is obsessed with maintaining his reputation as a crazy celebrity (yes, he WANTS you to believe he is crazy).
Tracy Jordan also has a wife and two (very opinionated) children, and for all his wild partying and strip-clubbing, he loves them very much. I mean, it's not an excuse to behave that way, but there was one particular scene in season 3 that really got me...
Tracy is talking to Jack, his boss.
Tracy: You don't get it. I don't want to spend so much. I have to. I'm afraid Angie will divorce me if I ever have enough money for her to live off a half. So before she can get it, I have to spend it all on useless things...
Jack convinces Tracy to get a pre-nup/post-nup to protect his assets in the event of a divorce.
Angie: So let me get this straight. If I sign this and then Tracy decides to run off with that chunky chick from Hairspray, then I get $8500?
*Angie gives Tracy A Look, then makes a disgusted sound*
Angie: What do I care. I'll sign your stupid contract. I'm never gonna leave this man anyway.
And then Tracy doesn't let her sign the pre-nup, because he's so happy his wife will never leave him.
Ok, so it's actually quite stupid (the show is a comedy), but I thought it was so sweet how he was so afraid his wife would leave him, because he knows he doesn't deserve her. It's like Homer Simpson... for all his terrible habits and general grossness, somewhere in between all the cobwebs in his head, he knows his family comes first.
So at least they've got it right :)
