Objects in mirror may appear less cool than remembered

I just deleted a four-paragraph blog because I decided I didn't want to share it with you. What it said, in a nutshell, was this: sometimes shit happens in a jacked-up order. Sometimes you realize something too late in the game, sometimes you get thrown a curve ball, and sometimes wild shit just pops up out of nowhere. And sometimes you regret not what you did, but what you DIDN'T do. Or say. Express. To someone. And sometimes, people put up a great advertisement, but the product is shit. Other times, you wander into a situation expecting nothing and find something really cool. That's what I was trying to share. The names have been deleted to protect the innocent.
