Last night I was hanging our TV on the wall,
which was a task in itself. My wife actually helped me and watched our 10 month
old daughter at the same time. I thought it would be cool to have the Wifee
help BUT BIG MISTAKE!. You see, my wife is a perfectionist, so she wanted the
wires in the wall, instead of going down the wall. I try to be a good husband
so I honored her request and got the TV on the wall without any wires being
visible. The only thing left to do was connect the RCA cables, but one of them
broke! After all that hard work, I was unable to watch the TV!
But my mindset is, one monkey doesn’t stop the
circus, if it does, you don’t have a circus, you have an exhibit. I cleverly
took the HDMI cord from the Play station and connected it to the TV and BAM! I
was ready to watch the Season Premier of Scandal. As for the RCA cords that don’t
work, I decided to stick them in back of the TV. That’s where my wife came back
into the mix by saying, “don’t hide those wires behind the TV; let them hang so
we can remember to replace them this weekend”. As for her reasoning behind
letting the wires hang down from the TV; she reminded me that I will get
comfortable with not replacing the cords, since the TV does work.
At first I was feeling some type of way, but if
the truth be told, I would be cool with hiding the broke cables behind the TV. This
whole TV experience reminded me of a portion of my life. You know the part of
your life where it’s dysfunctional as all get out, but it’s been that way for
so long; that it’s normal. That relationship where you and babe argue and fight
every night but it’s been that way for so long; that you don’t feel right if
there’s peace and harmony. I had a partner who kept a rental car for so long,
that he actually got the windows tinted. If your crazy has become your normal;
then your normal ain’t normal, but CRAZY. So what am I getting at? Just because
you may be going through something crazy, doesn’t mean you have to accept it.
