Last night, a gunman went on a shooting spree in a shopping mall two blocks from my last apartment, killing five people, and critically injuring many others. Hundreds more no doubt emotionally shot in the head after having witnessed the event. There were dead bodies scattered across the mall, people hiding in closets and bathrooms, and a teenager behind the gun opening fire on anyone he saw.
If you’d asked me how my day was, I’d have said the world was perfect yesterday. I don’t think life could have treated me any better. So while I was basking in the glory of my incredible day, others were huddling in fear, dodging bullets, and losing their loved ones. And that’s how life goes. An incredible day for me will always be a bad day for someone else. The worst day of someone’s life will always be the best day of someone else’s. Life’s a dance between the good and bad, tugging and turning in all directions. It’s unfortunate that tragedies happen all the time, but luckily great things do too. All you can do is know that nothing is ever expected - the good or the bad. And that’s what makes the good so good and the bad so bad.

Watch what you say. Due to excessive spambots, the following words within a comment automatically send it to the trash without my ever knowing: any word associated with the primary male and female reproductive parts, any word you might find on a porn site (including the relatively innocent and multi-functional "breasts"), any prescription drug name (yes, even prozac and amoxicillan are off limits), any form of the F word, and "mp3" is out too. Sorry. If for any reason you need to use words like these within the comment, I suggest you get creative and find another way of saying it. Also, because filters don't care how innocent your comment may be, words like title, analyst, cocker spaniel, Emily Dickinson, etc. are off limits. Can you guess why?
