I was going through my shared items in Google reader and I came across this post from Overheard In New York. I think we can all relate. Happy Friday!
Elderly woman to elderly man, as a young girl narrowly escapes getting hit by a car: Oh my god, what is it with these crazy people!? I hate this city more and more each day.
Elderly man: Well then, why do you live here?
Elderly woman: Because I love it.

(In a really weird, non-happy Friday! kind of way, this reminds me of Stephen Crane's poem In the Desert)
In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said: "Is it good, friend?" "It is bitter - bitter," he answered; "But I like it Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart."
Awww that Overheard is perfect!! And I love how you describe the poem as "non-happy Friday!" :)
