Adam Thomas, RPH

Driving around town, I’ve noticed more and more businesses with inspiring words of wisdom on the establishment’s marquee. You’ve seen them. Those profound phrases that are supposed to make you, ya’ know, think about … life?  Some are rather witty, I must say.  The others are not.  They beg to be commented upon.  So here goes.

            Bad decisions make good stories

            The first time is often funny.  The second is tolerable.  After that, you’re a train-wreck, following FML. Nothing about that is ‘good’.

            Reinterpret the past

            Are you fucking kidding me?  Who would do that? Who would want to do that? That has ‘bad decision makes bad story’ written all over it.  BUT it does remind me of something from   My Life As A Retail Pharmacist – A Fictionalized Memoir

           Adam often thought that ‘talking about the situation can bring you healing’ approach was a bunch of crap thought up by some repressed psychotherapist who was probably a woman.  Up until a moment ago, he thought he had actually changed his opinion.  Not anymore.  Talking about it was just another opportunity for someone to put a knife in an open wound and twist it until you passed out from the pain. 

 Finally, the one I identify most with, especially after a long day at work.
