How Did I Get Here?

Quote of the Day: “I can be an asshole of the grandest kind.”

I was driving to Pendleton this morning and a song came on my iPod that I have heard thousands of times before.

But it hit me.

Hard.

And it was me talking to my wife. I knew I had to recite this to her when I got home so when I did, I changed up the gender and read it aloud to her.

Everything by Alanis Morissette

I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it’s going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you’ve never met anyone
Who is as negative as I am sometimes

I am the wisest man you’ve ever met
I am the kindest soul with whom you’ve connected
I have the bravest heart that you’ve ever seen and you’ve never met anyone
Who is as positive as I am sometimes

You see everything you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I’m ashamed
There’s not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

I blame everyone else & not my own partaking
My passive aggressive-ness can be devastating
I’m terrified and mistrusting and you’ve never met anyone
Who is as closed down as I am sometimes

You see everything you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I’m ashamed
There’s not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

What I resist persists and speaks louder than I know
What I resist you love no matter how low or high I go

I am the funniest man that you’ve ever known
I am the dullest man that you’ve ever known
I’m the most gorgeous man that you’ve ever known and you’ve never met anyone
Who is as everything as I am sometimes

You see everything you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I’m ashamed
There’s not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here
