I’m sad when a tv series that I like ends because I can no longer follow the made up events in the lives of people who don’t exist.
I get sad when one of my favorite actors or actresses dies. Personally, I always felt as if Don Knotts and Tim Conway had one more epic cinematic masterpiece left in them…
I get sad when I hear a song that reminds me of a time when I was listening to a sad song. “Brick House” by the Commodores always reminds me of “Angie” by the Rolling Stones. “Angie” reminds me of my pet boxer who bit a girl named “Angie”, once.
I get sad when I see people who work hard all of their lives but never get ahead… unless they are house painters because screw them!
I get sad when I see all the suffering in the world when I know it could all be ended if we’d just start a nuclear war with Russia or China.
I get sad when I think about my old girlfriend… She was ninety… the oldest girlfriend I ever had…
I get sad when I realize that I cannot change the past because the laws of physics indicate that is impossible. Then, I get sad when I think about physics and how much better my grades would’ve been had I learned mathematics first…
I get sad when I say “goodbye” to someone I love, “hello” to someone I hate or “could I use your ketchup?” to someone who REALLY wants to talk about her grandchildren.
I get sad when I see a sick child… unless it’s mumps because THAT IS HILARIOUS…
I get sad when I realize what kind of a monster I’ve become. I wanted to be a werewolf, but instead I’m more of a Frankenstein… mostly due to my posture and my habit of throwing little girls into ponds…
I get sad when I see homeless people, knowing that there are people who have more money than they need and I want those rich people to be homeless but then I realize that if I saw those rich homeless people, I’d be sad.
I get sad when I see unwanted dogs roaming the streets when their only crime is being unwanted and maybe arson.
Potatoes and the Promise of More Potatoes 
unwanted arsonist dog, who was genetically modified to do better things 🙂

Reminds me of the sadness I was going to post in my own blog soon–most people have better relationships with fictional tv characters than they do with their own neighbors. I’ll let you know when I swing around to that thought. Now that, is sad, IMO…and points to our extreme isolation as human beings. Bring back the tribe and the dances around the fire I say!
