Infinite Sadness

Yesterday was a horrible, horrible day. It was cold and rainy when the pain in my shoulder (from it's destruction learning to snowboard last sat.) woke me one minute before my alarm went off. I slipped in the shower and caught myself with my left hand, the one connected to my left shoulder that is destroyed. Then my shoulder hurt even more. I spilled coffee on my right hand, which hurt. I got wet walking to school because I couldn't find any of my umbrellas. At my least favorite elementary school, I had five classes, three of which were some of the worst I have ever taught. Especially, the extremely loud and rude 5th grade class that I also had to eat lunch with. After walking home in the rain, I was depressed beyond words.

I knew that tomorrow couldn't be like this, something had to be done. I took the initiative and brewed the Infinite Sadness as a recepticle for all of my depression and, well...sadness. I loaded up my itunes playlist with all of the Smashing Pumpkins albums in order (except Zeitgeist, never got into it) and let it play. I drank cheap bourbon while I ground the malt. I ransacked the cupboards for anything that could ferment, and threw it in the pot along with my anxiety, depression, and feelingshittytiveness. And...it worked!

I wouldn't say that Today is the greatest day I have ever known, but I definitely don't feel like a Zero anymore. All of my problems went into the Infinite Sadness, and boy, is it pissed off! I was in too much of a bad mood last night to think about an OG of 1.090 needing a blow off tube, so Infinite Sadness is almost busting at the seams. Almost...so there is room for more. Do you have problems? Will them to Infinite Sadness, it can take it.

Most people drown themselves in sorry -- you did something much more effective. Good one! Hope your Infinite Sadness goes down well in a month or so when it's drinkable.
