The Blue Day Book, by Bradley Trevor

You gotta see the serious, pouty, angry, smiling, blushing, embarrasing, shitty, and hilarious animal pictures in real for every line below..

everybody has blue days,
these are miserable days when you feel lousy,
grumpy,
lonely,
and utterly exhausted,
days when you feel small and insignificant,
when everything seems just out of reach,
you can't rise to the occasion,
just getting started seems impossible,
on blue days you can become paranoid that everyone is out to get you (This is not always such a bad thing),
you feel frustrated and anxious,
which can induce a nail biting frenzy,
that can escalate into a triple chocolate-mud-cake-eating frenzy in a blink of an eye,
on blue days you feel like you're floating in an ocean of sadness,
you are about to burst into tears at any moment and you don't know why,
ultimately you feel you are wandering through life without purpose,
you are not sure how much longer you can hang on,
and you feel like shouting, "will someone please shoot me!",
It doesn't take much to bring on a blue day,
you might just wake up not feeling or looking your best,
find some new wrinkles,
put on a little weight,
or get a huge pimple on your nose,
you could forget your date's name,
or have an embarrassing photograph published,
you might get dumped, divorced or fired,
make a fool of yourself in public,
be afflicted with a demeaning nickname,
or just have a plain old bad hair day,
may be work is pain in the butt,
you are under major pressure to fill someone eles's shoes,
your boss is picking on you,
and everyone else is driving you crazy,
you might have splitting headache,
or a slipped disk,
bad breath,
a toothache,
or a nasty ingrown toenail,
whatever the reason, you're convinced someone up there doesn't like you,

oh what to do, what to doooo?


well, if you are like most people, you'll hide behind a flimsy belief that everything will sort itself out,
then you'll spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder waiting for everything to go wrong all over again,
all the while becoming crusty and cynical,
or pathetic sniveling victim,
until you get so depressed that you lie down and beg the earth to swallow you up,
or even worse, become addicted with Billy Joel songs,
this is crazy because you are only young once,


after all the world is full of amazing discoveries,
things you can't even imagine now,
there are delicious happy sniffs,
and scrumptious snacks to share,
hey, you might end up fabulously rich,
or even become huge superstar one day,
sounds good doesn't it?
But wait, there's more!

there are handstands,
and games to play,
and yoga,
and karaoke,
and wild, crazy, bohemian dancing,

but best of all, there is romance,
which means long dream stares,
whispering sweet nothings,
more smooches,
and even more smooches,
a frisky love bite or two,
and then, well, anything, goes,

so how can you find that blissful "just sliding into a hot bubble bath" kind of feeling?
It's easy,
first stop slinking away from all those nagging issues, its time to face the music,
now just relax, take some deep breaths (in through the nose and out through the mouth), try to mediate if you can,
or go for a walk to clear your head,
accept the fact that you'll let go of some emotional baggage,
try seeing things from a different perspective,
may be you're actually the one at fault, if that's the case be big enough to say you're sorry (its never too late to do this),
if someone else is doing the wrong thing, stand up tall and say, "That's not right and I won't stand for it", it's okay to be forceful,
(it's rarely okay to blow raspberries)

be proud of who you are,
but don't lose the ability to laugh at yourself,
(This is a lot easier when you associate with positive people),
live everyday as if it were your last, because one day it will be,
don't be afraid to bite off more than you can chew,
take big risks,
never hang back, get out there and go for it,
after isn't that what's life is all about?
