Grumpy

I took a picture of this alleyway a few days ago because 

I liked all the patterns made by various grids.

In the end, I found myself intrigued by the little bit

of graffiti in the lower left corner.

At first, I thought it was a sprayed stencil image

of a French Bulldog. Further research

proved it to be the tagger's version of the most

popular internet cat meme, Grumpy Cat.

GC, whose real name is Tardar Sauce, was just recently 

signed to a movie deal. If a script can be developed that is

as clever as the comments made for the photos,

then that movie may be one animal pic I can stand for

more than 5 minutes.

At any rate, GC's expression matches what I feel when 

I see my favorite man being followed around by

a half-his-age mid-life crisis in four-inch heels.

I wake up every day with a positive attitude, thinking

that if I do my part, if I work hard, my dreams will come true.

However, I fail to take into account that other people 

may have similar plans; believe me, brains and humor will

be trumped by a thigh-high min-skirt every time.
