It's going to be a good day

I've largely been a downer for the majority of this lockdown crap and that's due to the forced changes that I've had to cope with. I've had to accept that numerous aspects of my life that I thought were important mean nothing in the general scheme of things, and this forced education added some blackness to the dark clouds that have been hovering over me.

Today is going to be a good day and I'm saying it before it even begins; I've decided to do some normal shit I'd usually do to cheer myself up. Top of the list is getting a hair cut.

Now, you probably don't know or maybe you do from my previous rambling that you can read here that I decided not to cut my hair until the lockdown restrictions were lifted. The terms for my "surrender" of hair have been partially met, and in the coming weeks, it will be complete, so I might as well get that haircut. I particularly need to trim my moustache because it keeps getting into my mouth.

I'm going to be upbeat today and might even reward myself a cup of ice cream when I go out to buy a new portable Wifi router from my Internet service provider to replace the one I lost on a bus. I appreciate the support I got from my friends on hive and outside.

Today will be a good day because we're getting football back. I mean, the Bundesliga and La Liga have been running for a few weeks between them but I'm talking actual football; I'm talking about the English Premier league ladies and gentlemen.

How can I be pissy about today when I'm going to see Arsenal take the field again? It would have been extra dope to grab a few beers with @chekohler and @nickhavey while watching our match against Manchester City later this evening. Logic is telling me that we'll lose this evening and it won't be a surprise but I'm a fan so fuck that. I'm banking on a Lacazette trademark spin and shoot 30-yard screamer on the 92nd minute to cap off a 2-3 victory, after trailing 2-0 for the first 80 minutes. A man can dream.

I'll leave you with the words of a song by Dave Thomas;

This is the way it was meant to be
This is all for the best
How many times till I believe?
Cause I don’t believe it yet
I keep on telling myself

If you’re going through hell keep going
You’re gonna get through this
This universe
It follows a plan
And this is part of it
I keep on telling myself

So, yeah, today's going to be a good day, and I'm going to be all cheery. I'll wear a smile on my face, eat right, dress pretty and just be merry. This is the way it was meant to be and I'll make the best out of the situation. I'll keep on telling myself.
