I am only in the sense that I'm positive bad things are going to happen.
Ahahaha! Ah, Frank. Never change.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The questions is never why an Impala, javachik. The answer is supernatural.

today is not working well.
Can we return it, and get a better one?

Because books.
Today kind of sucked, it's true.
It's not like I have the money for one, but even if I did a vintage *four-door* Impala is damn hard to find.

More specifically, this is the tendency to react to horrible misfortune, like homelessness or drug addiction, by believing the people stuck in horrible situations must have done something to deserve it.
This. And this is why the positivity stuff makes me so uneasy. Yes, if you're tackling many challenges it will likely be more productive to strategize and plan than to mope and despair. But not everything is actually in your control. And shitty situations might just make you feel shitty.
We slip very easily in this society into implicit shaming when it seems that people aren't shrugging off their breast cancer or brain tumors or crippling chronic illness in quite the way we approve.

PERKINS. I CAN'T MAKE YOUR ICON.
SRSLY. I've tried. It's not working for me. Give me new source material.
I passed a new model Chevy Impala in traffic today. It made me snigger.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would also support a do-over of today.
