...pigs would run overrun our cities and urban centers like giant flightless pigeons
...what would dogs have to look forward to?
...I could be a vegetarian (ok, this one's a stretch)
...I would probably have flung myself out the window today. I may still, but the bacon at least staved off immediate death.

Thankfully, today's crap-awfulness was mitigated by the helpful presence of bacon.
The delicious, greasy, crispy bacon that found it's way into my sandwich also nuzzled its way into my heart. Bacon: you are a marvel. Dejected as I was, the fatty bacon molecules somehow reached the happiness receptors in my brain, at least enough to keep me from running screaming from the building. Today.
I do think it's important to remember what simple things can keep your spirits up when you are feeling down. In this particular case, my BLTA. As fun as it can be to wallow (and I mean fun in the most self-pitying of ways), I don't know that it does anything to solve whatever issues ye be plagued by. Bah. Yeah, I know that in my mind, but right now wallowing seems like the best way to occupy my time.
Buuuut, I suppose it does no good to sit alone pouting in my misery. Heavy Sigh. Is that going to help me get where I want to be? No. So until then, happiness via bacon or whatever other little joys there are will have to be enough to sustain me through this harrowing time. Being grateful for the positive things in life.

It's BACON!!!!!!!!!!!
