Ok, 'nough Pity Party, here's a poem that always makes me happy:
All my pwoblems,
who knows, maybe evwybody's pwoblems
is due to the fact, due to da awful twuth
dat I am SPIDERMAN
I know, I know: All da dumb jokes:
No flies on you, ha ha,
and da ones about what do I do wit all
doze extwa legs in bed. Well, dats funny yeah.
But you twy being
SPIDERMAN for a month or two. Go ahead.
You get doze cwazy calls fwom da
Gubbener askin you to twap some booglar who's
only twyin to wip off color T.V. sets.
Now, what do I cawre about color T.V. sets?
But I pull on da suit, da stinkin suit,
wit da sucker cups on da fingers,
and get my wopes and wittle bundle of
equipment and den I go flying like cwazy
acwoss da town fwom woof top to woof top.
Till der he is. Some poor dumb color T.V. slob
and I fall on him and we westle a widdle.
until I get him all woped. So big deal.
You tink when you SPIDERMAN
der's sometin big going to happen to you.
Well, I tell you what. It don't happen dat way.
Nuttin happens. Gubbener calls, I go.
Bwing him to powice, Gubbener calls again,
like dat over and over.
I tink I twy sometin diffunt. I tink I twy
sometin excitin like wacing cawrs. Sometin to make
my heart beat at a difwint wate.
But den you just can't quit being sometin like
SPIDERMAN.
You SPIDERMAN for life. Fowever. I can't even
buin my suit. It won't buin. It's fwame wesistent.
So maybe dat's youwr pwoblem too, who knows.
Maybe dat's da whole pwoblem wit evwytin.
Nobody can buin der suits, dey all fwame wesistent.
Who knows?

And of course, Life After Lisa by Bowling For Soup always helps:
I'm waking up and baking
Watching the parade
Cause today's the day I got over you
You left me for a drummer cause you said I couldn't sing
But that's ok
Cause they'll be no more long hair clogging up the drain
I bet you're saying to yourself
That you'll find somebody else like me
Well, all I've got to say is there isn't anyway
That you're getting me to say
I'm sorry.
Life after Lisa's not so bad at all.
Not brilliant, but funny, very nice, upbeat punk. Oh, who cares? : p hahahahaha
