the trouble with problems

Summer=procrastination, at least for the lazy, hazy, crazy days of Summer sorta guy that I am. Since Labor Day ended, I was hit with the realization that I've let things pile up and now find myself surrounded by troubles. If there was ever a problematic time of the year, it's now - replace the oxygen sensor for the Mustang, fix that broken bathroom drain pipe, convince the landlord that African waterbugs and roaches are one and the same; I'm sure you have your own list of crap to plow through. Here's to trials, tribulations, dilemmas, difficulties and predicaments.

"Science is always wrong: it never solves a problem without creating ten more." - George Bernard Shaw

"If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail." - Abraham Maslow

"It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see the problem." - G. K. Chesterton

"There is always a well-known solution to every human problem; neat, plausible, and wrong." - H. L. Mencken

"People don’t want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown." - Chuck Palahniuk

"What do I know about Myspace? It's an Internet site where people, who have nothing better to do with their time, go and chat about a whole bunch of nonsense. We could eliminate a third of the problems in this country, if people actually had to shovel coal into a furnace for heat... rather than spending all that time they have making problems for other people, by sitting at their personal computers doing things other than those which PCs were actually designed for." - Judge Judy Sheindlin
