      I know, right?!

      Burn me at the stake for thinking that even in the pits of hell, there are some little moments of good, even if fleeting.

      This morning, the guy in front of me at the Tim Horton’s drive-thru paid for my coffee. Don’t know him. Never met him. Never exchanged three words. He just decided to do it. I just sometimes randomly decide to do it as well. Made me feel good so I did it for the person behind me. I don’t know how long that chain lasted, but hey…it doesn’t matter.

      The world might be shit, but that was a nice start to my day, and a nice start to the day of the person behind me. If I was “Mr. Realist” above me there, the response would be, “well fuck…what’s the point? Sure, but the coffee’s just going to get cold sooner or later…”

      Screw me if I want to take some simple pleasure where I can, I guess.
