the element of surprise

The thing about surprise is that no matter what you do, it will bite you on the ass. Sometimes it's a little nibble and sometimes it takes this huge chunk of flesh away from you. Seems to me, the people who like surprises have only had those little nibbles. Affectionate little love-bites that amount to parties, proposals or gifts.

But then there's the rest of us. We've had the nibbles, sure. Sometimes a surprise can be great. But we also know that some surprises are the last thing you want or need. They come along and knock you right on your ass, leaving you bruised and wondering, "What the fuck just happened?"

Well, my friends, what the fuck just happened was the element of Surprise. And Surprise has a buddy we call Change. We all have a love/hate relationship with Change. Sometimes we crave him: we just gotta get the fuck out of a place or situation. But once Change is actually working his magic, you remember how awkward he is. The adjusting, the accepting. It just plain sucks. . . until you get used it. But by then you're probably going to have another one of those surprises.
