Japanator Contest: Tell us why you're in despair and win Vol. 1 of Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei

It's hard for me to say that I'm truly in despair about something as I'm a pretty fortunate guy. Life treats me fairly well. That's why I feel silly in listing out the things I'm in despair about. They're all trivial, geeky things.

But after reading the fantastic first volume of Del Ray's Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei manga, I feel kind of inspired to pick my world apart and talk about what's getting me down. Here's my terrible attempt.

I'm in despair because:

  • half my tangerines are mushy and old
  • Kurokami really isn't that good of a show
  • Nabari No Ou is kind of boring, too
  • my torrents are going too slow
  • RPG stories are going downhill 
  • my corgi is shedding

See? They're stupid. I feel stupid for trying. I'm in despair for having such a despair-less life! I'm sure that there's someone out there that could do a much better job, so I'm going to let you tell Japanator what's getting you down.

Contest:

Tell us why you're in despair in the comments below. Tell us as many times as you want. You have until 4p.m. tomorrow to tell us why. At that time, we'll pick the funniest one, as we love to laugh at your misfortune. The winner will get a shiny new Vol. 1 of Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei.  For shipping reasons, U.S. residents only, please. If you're not from the U.S., you can be in despair about that, too.

Good luck!
