Part 2

You’re supposed to have some extra advantage alongside your handicaps.
If you’re blind , you get better hearing.
If, you’re dumb, you end up with a better perception of the world.
Sickled cell guys?
We get nothing.
Zip.
I’ve spent half my life looking for the silver lining.
No super hearing.
No better perception.
Jeniffer Lopez stormed the scene five years ago. Lovely lady. Great body. Okay voice.
I called her .
Hello.
Are you my silver lining?
Sigh!

p.s
there'll be more on a daily basis now!

Oh for heaven's sake. Of course you've got a silver lining. If its not your cocaine laced pain killer injection then its cool ass baby look that gets the ladies aawing...and if its not that...then for heaven's sake...you've got us man! Your crazy ass friends to keep you busy. Now talk about something else before i knock you out with my fist!

Nice one. Your writing ability is clearly the silver lining.

Oh …..and yeah I was with J.Lo the night you called. If she sounded a bit distant and aloof then it was because she was preoccupied with other matters.

Why would you want just a silver lining? Why not have a whole coat made of silver?
Thats the way forward man!
Life don't count for much; we all have things we can complain effectively about but what really matters is the afterlife not just for you but for those you leave behind and those that preceded you. Can you change their fate and yours even during our short time on earth???
