If you look up Murphy's Law you will find the phrase, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." Ha! Who the fuck is this Murphy guy and why is he such a downer? Was Murphy a mere pessimist? Or was he telling it like it is. I think Murphys in general get screwed over. There's Eddie Murphy, who was once the most sought after actor/comedians in the 80s. He accidentally picked up a transvestite hooker and made a couple of God-awful movies, then somehow knocked up a Spice Girl. Murphy's Law?
Then there's Brittany Murphy. A beautiful actress who gained momentum in her career, then got addicted to pills and pulled a Heath Ledger. Murphy's Law?
Then there's the most famous Murphy. Alex Murphy. A renown Detroit police officer who did his job to take down criminals. He had a family and children. What happened to him? He gets tortured and murdered by Clarence Boddicker. If you don't know who Alex Murphy is, you might know him by his new name. RoboCop.
The past 30 days have reminded me about Murphy's Law. First the unemployment. Second came the ankle injury I suffered in a basketball game. Third came the fact that there was an error on the state's part in getting my unemployment check. Now...my car breaks down.
The starter went out, not a big deal. I've done this before. It takes me 10 minutes to take it off and put a new one on. Luckily I'm parked at a shopping center that has an Autozone. Turns out they didn't have the part I needed. Oh well, across the street there's a Kragen. Hey! The woman that works there says there's one in stock. Awesome! Thanks to Murphy, it turns out their inventory was incorrect. Fail!
Luckily my friend came over and helped me push start my car and now here I am remembering I actually have a blog.
hahaha robocop.
ReplyDeletemurphy actually has like 5 laws. I think. I think i remember knowing them too. and they were all pessimistic. anyway, it's true. like gravity.
