Complete Mental Breakdown

I have decided, I want to have a complete mental breakdown.
The movies make it seem so good.
These people get a lot of flowers, stuffed animals, and warm words. Now they are in nice jackets and everything but that limits wardrobe choices. Anything to make life easier for the mentally unstable.
Another perk to having a mental breakdown. The new life choices that result are always ideal movie material. I could hop on the reality tv craze and make millions.
Then, when I have gotten things back together, the fame and money will go to my head and I'll shave my head. Or do Britney one better and do something even crazier.
That would be the life. . . ish.

Catch and Go

Last year I read a book called "Outliers" by Malcom Gladwell. This book talked not about the talent of those who have made it big in one way or another, but the lucky breaks they got.
I have never really been a believer of luck. I have always thought that if you work hard, you will be rewarded. I am scared to say that I think I might have an error in my belief system.
I mean, how do you get from point A to point C? You start at point A and can work to point be, but sometimes that point C does not mean working hard. It is being in the right place at the right time, networking, or just getting noticed by someone who wasn't looking for you but decided to make the initiative.
Not that I am rushing out to buy those lucky rabbits feet or search in fields for four-leaf clovers, I would just like a smile from Lady Luck. Even if I just get a good story out of it, that would be worth it. I would catch that smile and run with it, just give me a chance.
