Optimist goes blind after staring at the bright side for too long

CORNER BROOK, NF – A local man is unable to perceive reality after focusing for too long on the bright side.

36 year-old Brad Smallwood reportedly lost his faculties last Thursday after dreaming about a rosy career and his love life.

“This is an awesome challenge for me!” exclaimed Smallwood after tripping over some of his chairs in his basement apartment. “This won’t stop me from becoming a pilot, marrying my girlfriend of three weeks and moving into a big mansion.”

Some friends of Smallwood have become concerned about his inability to see the difficulties that life brings.

“This couldn’t be a worse situation” said friend and pessimist Mary Doyle. “Now that he can’t focus, he’s not going to pay off his student debts, find a decent job or walk in straight line.”

Other friends remained indifferent to Smallwood’s situation.

“I don’t give a shit” said best friend and nihilist Sean Powell. “Who the hell are you anyway?”
