Today’s one of those days when I wished I had lots of money. I know it doesn’t necessarily buy love nor bring happiness, but it would certainly help make life a lot more comfortable and bearable. And it would smoothen a lot of bumps that come a-rolling along the way…

It has been argued that Kazaa and other file sharing services were going to kill CD sales, among other things. Well… I haven’t bought as many CDs in the previous two years as I have in the last six months.

My CD-buying spree started two weeks ago when I spied Cyndi Lauper’s latest album, “At Last“. I’m not a big fan of hers - at least not like my being a big fan of Barbra Streisand’s where I buy almost every single one of her albums - and I haven’t really followed her music since the late 80s (oh God… I sound so old…), but when I read through the track listing on the back cover, I knew I had to have it. And I’m glad I bought it.

Here’s another silly test to keep you occupied - if only for a minute. No more.

Apparently, I’m “Introspective, Sensitive and Reflective” and that:

You come to grips more frequently and thoroughly with yourself and your environment than do most people. You detest superficiality; you’d rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk. But your relationships with your friends are very strong, which gives you the inner tranquility and harmony that you require. You do not mind being alone for extended periods of time; you rarely become bored.

There are days where I really feel like killing this man. Today is one of them. After feeling suicidal for most of the day, I decided to distract myself and see what wisdom dear old Mr Cainer had to impart to me and this is what he said:

Some of life’s most important lessons have to be learned the hard way. Some processes have to be performed properly. Shortcuts compromise genuine quality. Remember that, please, as you now try to work out why a particular process is proving so stressful. There really has been no other way to get from A to B. And the good news? Mars and Pluto are finally completing their rare right-angle. You are, at last, nearing the successful conclusion to an arduous journey.

Like… errr… yes… that’s very helpful… I think. So, I guess, as long as I’m only feeling suicidal and not actually jumping off some high building or slitting my wrists or taking more pills than I can count, life will be fine. Or better at any rate. Or so he says…

Then I decided to take this stupid test again and guess what!?! I’ve improved my scores. I’m now a 60 which means:

You have the symptoms of severe depression. The condition seems to cause serious problems in your everyday life, and you should consult your doctor immediately.

Great! Another obvious answer. I could have told myself that without going through 18 inane questions that any half-intelligent nitwit could have second-guessed.

It’s another seven hours to bedtime. Do I go out looking for a doctor in this miserable grey weather or do I bunker down in bed blasting Barbra Streisand in my ears? Tough question, that one…
