As if everything else last week wasn't rough enough, and the lack of sleep earlier this weekend didn't take my edge completely away from getting duped not once but twice on April Fool's jokes...
I decided to hit the [e]bay and find myself a gift. Sniped on a Grid Alien, Ancient Predator and just got sniped on a R/C Tumbler Batmobile that I've been looking for for quite some time. Ok, I give. When to things turn for the better?
 
Eric Idle/A Faire To Remember/Monty Python

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of *****
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life..."

Sorry to hear your birthday was less than ape-tastic, but given recent events, I think you've got a lot to celebrate!
 
I'm sorry to hear the woe Ironman. My previous couple of Birthdays were crap but the last one was great, so it can ebb and flow.
Just remember it can always be MUCH worse.
Happy Birthday anyways!
:happybday
 
Could be worse, my sister got paralyzed by a disease on mine a few years ago. Mine was awesome this year though, sorry for the snipes. If it makes you feel better, I was sniped on the same Predator. I was trying to snipe, and got out-sniped.
 
I had a great birthday guys...took a week off from work (paid)...got a Legendary ML Bust...A Chan original...got some money in my pocket to blow....LIFE IS GOOD! :monkey5
 
Sorry to hear that your birthday wasn't all that great. I know that feeling of getting sniped out of something you think is yours....and to happen several times in one day!! On a postive note: you have great friends here who obviously feel not only your moments of joy but also those of disappointment. That is worth more than it's weight in gold. :) Hope the rest of your birthday is absolutely smashing!!!!

Could be worse. You could lose your job like Bodie, lose your home, your health could deteriorate... I'd count your blessings in the fact that you lived to be another year older and are enjoying the fruits of your passions even though some are just out of reach. Doesn't sound so bad to me.
 
Sorry to hear that Ironman!

I hate to brag, but I just scored a Grid Alien, Ancient Predator & an R/C Tumbler Batmobile on Ebay!!! All at the last second too!!! Imagine the luck:D

When you give in and become a Star Wars fan. And when you stop refering to it as "$tar War$". :monkey5 :D
 
Sorry to hear ironman. In other note, Happy Belated Birthday :chew
 
:monkey5 Thanks Guys!!
FF, You're right, and believe me, I AM grateful. I guess I was just counting on my B'day to be an escape of some kind, if only for the day.

Shai, more pix are always welcome...anyday [email 'em if ya want to :D ]

Jen, you are 100% correct. The folks around here are great [save 1 or 2 :monkey3 ]

Decandant, true things can always be worse, I was just hoping mine would get better.

Booyah!, I am a $tar War$ fan. Have most of $ide$how's and a ton of Hasbro/Kenner items. And I'll happily stop referring to it as $tar War$ when $ide$how makes some other 1:6. :monkey5
