A researcher has used a formula to predict the most depressing day of the year. Guess what: it's tomorrow (Monday). So, take your St. John's wort, sit under your therapy lamp, and listen to soothing ocean waves, and know that it doesn't get any worse than this.
And in the meantime, remember...
Stranded
Like Valentine Michael Smith,
I am a stranger in a strange land,
Except without the peaceful self-confidence,
Or super-physical abilities.
I am Robinson Crusoe
Trapped on an island,
But without my good man Friday,
And separated from the rest of the world
By a sea of social awkwardness,
Sending up smoke signals
To passing ships and planes
Only to be pointed at and ridiculed
By their passengers
And left alone.
I am Major Tom,
Peering down at Earth
From my orbiting space capsule,
Knowing that I'm marooning myself
But doubting that I'd be welcome back home.
I am John Crichton,
Fallen through a wormhole
With all of civilization on the other side
And I don't know the math to get myself back.
I am CXQ5, and I'm barely alive,
And if I could fix my ship, I'm not sure
I'd know what heading to use.
