Why can't I have just one fricken normal day?

Feel The Force!!! Relationship Advice From Yoda.

I am stuck, inert, rebellious even in my complete lack of direction. I am cheesing through my classes, I haven’t even written one word of the next great novel, and fur balls are rolling through my livingroom like tumbleweeds at the OK Corral. To make matter worse, my son politely asked me the other day if our lack of food in the kitchen was because we have decided to become “supermodels.” Cheeky kid…
So…um…what now?
At this point, I picture Yoda limping toward me with his walking stick. He approaches me and smacks me across the head.
“There is do or not do…there is no try,” he admonishes.
“But I’m tired. And I’m afraid that life is just crap and has no meaning,” I snivel.
“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear lead to anger. Anger leads to hate.”
“But, I was betrayed. I was lied to and abandoned. I have a right to be pissed. I’m so pissed that “I could punch a baby.”
Yoda scratchs his face and nods, “MMM…Happens to every guy sometimes this does.”
“I’m afraid that I’ll never get things right. I don’t want to die alone,” I confess.
“Good relations with the Wookies, I have”
“That may be true, Yoda,” I say. “Tall is nice, but I don’t like men with hairy backs.”
Yoda ignores that comment and replies, “So, lost a planet Master Obi-Won has? How embarassing.”
“Yes, Thank you for bringing that up, Yoda. The whole incident was very embarassing. And to make matters worse, I haven’t haven’t gotten any in a month.”
“Ahh!! Yoda’s little friend you seek.”
“No, Yoda, I have one of those. It just doesn’t do it for me.”
Yoda paces back and forth, caresses his face some more, and says, “MMM…I have thought about this problem. I have. ‘Use your feelings, Obi-Wan. And find him you will.’
“I can’t believe it,” I say and shake my head.
“And this is why you fail.”
I look at Yoda, and he at me.
“Remember, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they.”
My resolved now intact, I vow, “I will, Yoda. I’ll be strong, I’ll stay away from the dark side, and I’ll look into getting more batteries for my light saber.”
“May the force be with you,” Yoda says and vanishes.
