Once a skeptic, always a skeptic...?

I don’t know what pleases me anymore. For one second there, I wasn’t deceived by the “glad tidings”. But despite my skepticism, I still ended up disappointed with the figures. I looked many times thinking that my eyes could have deceived me but truth stared right back at me with some crazy smirk that seemed to say “hell, what did you expect?” What’s a wallpaper to do but allow some flies to have a bit of respite from buzzing to and fro the floor (or ablute maybe) for a another stretch and pray that the colors won’t fade too soon.
