Stuff happens.
No matter how meticulously you plan, how many contingencies you try to cover, how much you practice and drill, unforeseen events upend the best laid plans — or the gods of unforseen consequences lay a hand on an outcome and before you know it, everything is upside down, inside out, and your goose is on its way to well-done — but you won’t be sharing the bounty.

But hey — in this veil of toil and sin, you’d be lucky to get out alive. If you could, but you can’t. So best to buck up, stiffen the old upper lip, buckle down, grab your bootstraps, and give the ol’ heave ho to yesterday’s cares and concerns — because there’s a fresh batch due for delivery as early as tomorrow.

lyrics
Trainwreck Life
It’s just one trainwreck after another
it’s just one disaster followin’ the t’other
It’s a wonder I can get back on my feet
to fall again
Some catastrophe
Some calamity
more adversity
more insanity
it’s the way it goes in the world
of mice and men
Cataclysm and devastation
tragedy and desolation
yet I know it’s the way it goes
my friend
double debacles and treble trouble
cauldron of misfortune set to boil and bubble
I’ve seen the future it’s
more of the same to the end
Waterloo was just a hiccup
Little Big Horn just all a big mixup
When everything is ashes
maybe we can all be friends
Suns explode and worlds collide
all us little specks along for the ride
the fabric of time and space
someday willl mend
Cataclysm and devastation…
Suns explode and worlds collide
all us little specks along for the ride
in the end it all — comes down to the end
