“life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get”
Yeah that’s not strictly true though is it? Even the most basic box of chocolates have a visual key so you know which chocolate is which. For that sentence to make sense you’d have to be the type of person who just opens a box of chocolates and starts blindly eating them (probably still in the wrapper); and if you do that; then you don’t deserve advice. That sentence is stupid in other ways as well. Life isn’t like a box of chocolates, life is (as every right minded person knows) actually like a game of Tetris.
You know how it is; you play Tetris and it all starts off well. You get a few lines and you start getting cocky and thinking
“this is easy; there’s no way I’m going to lose this. I AM THE TETRIS KING!!!!!”
You go on like this until usually the 38 line mark; at which point you make a sudden mistake. And you panic. You get careless. You start placing the squares where the L shapes should go (and vice versa). You start worrying but then you just take a deep breath and start to relax. You go from being 4 moves away from death to being at the bottom of the screen with only two tiny blocks in each corner. You breath a sigh of relief. You weathered the storm; you survived.
BUT THEN!!!!! You do something stupid (probably put two lines on top of each other near the edge; blocking that side off so you can’t get anything more)
like this
and you’re screwed for a while. You can’t do anything! It’s all coming too fast for you to do anything! And you know all your problems will be solved if you could just get the straight piece; but you don’t! All you keep getting are those stupid little things
And you’re sitting there getting more and more frantic! Just desperately pleading with whatever deity you pray to to just “Give me a straight line!!!!!!” but you keep getting those bastard things i just showed previously, more and more of the little bastards keep making appearances, you don’t need them, you don’t want them, and WHERE THE F*@K WERE THEY EARLIER WHEN YOU REALLY F*CKING NEEDED THEM? NOWHERE!!!!!!!! But you just get more useless things that you don’t need, and by the time you get a straight one you don’t have enough space to maneauvre it and it just makes things worse.And you just know you would’ve been fine if you just had more luck, and if you didn’t make that one stupid mistake, and if you didn’t keep getting THOSE F*CKING YELLOW THINGS. SERIOUSLY, WHAT ARE THEY? THEY’RE NOT EVEN A PROPER SHAPE. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO CALL THEM???? THEY’RE STUPID. I HATE THEM. AND THEY KEEP APPEARING WHEN YOU DON’T WANT THEM TO. THEY RUINED EVERYTHING!!!!
And yeah, that’s life.
