It's funny when people begin phrases or sentences with "it's funny when." What follows is rarely funny. What they are really saying is "look, I'm about to ramble here, so sit down and shut up and listen to what I have to say, even if you are disinterested."

It's funny when people say they are at a crossroads. I'm at a crossroads in my life right now and there just isn't some other extant intersecting (and nicely paved) road that provides two more options to explore. No, my (metaphorical) crossroads is more like traveling on one of those supreme-middle-of-nowhere (and massively wash-boarded) roads. The kind where you think your destination is no more than 5 minutes away (but you've been thinking it for an hour) and you get to a point where you don't know whether it's best to go forward, turn around, or start blazing a new road that's orthogonal to the one you are on. Crossroads, my ass.

While waiting for life that sucks to die, why not listen to my favorite unsigned bands: TQ's Garage Band Playlist.
