Chronicle of Wade’s Misfortunes
By Vito on Friday, October 12th, 2007Being the Creative Director for one of Atlanta’s top 5 largest web design and development company certainly has its challenges, but nothing could prepare Wade Forst for the barrage of mishaps he has faced in the past weeks. The first incident took place at his fiancé’s backyard where 3 of their dogs decided to share a meal of rat carcass and ended up getting poisoned. Next, he was at a local gas station fueling up when he thought that his fiancé was throwing water on him but quickly discovered that the hose actually came off from the pump and was shooting about 4 gallons of gasoline on him.
After a short period of normalcy, the third calamity dawned upon him like an inferno, literally speaking. A nearby tree suddenly broke in half and took down a power line, causing a fiery chain-effect that sent part of his house in flames. He caught a break of good luck because no one was hurt during the incident.
Now we’ll just top everything off with a stolen laptop and just call it quits, right? Not so fast. A few days after the stolen laptop, we heard him talking over the phone with the dentist and he’s scheduled for a root canal sometime this month. Ouch!
With all that has happened I cannot think of a more appropriate movie poster to describe it. I took the poster of Just My Luck starring Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine and doctored Wade’s face into it. You can view the original version here.
Gosh, Wade’s misfortune makes me feel better about my life
As misfortunate as this sounds, my life is one of great luck, fantastic timing and the few (ok, many) odd happenings and instances.
Here are a few items from the lucky-side of the street:
1.) My fiancé and our 3 dogs make the majority of my life filled with laughter, barking and the occasional trip to the beach.
2.) I get to work with talented and smart people on a daily bases.
3.) I am able to work with my best friend and we are both able to drive each other nuts. (note: he is separated from the smart and talented comment above) : p
4.) Audi won Petit Lemans… again (and I didn’t run over anyone doing doughnuts in the in-field later that night)
5.) I get to do what I have always dreamed of… to be creative.
6.) It is the 12th of October and I already know what I am going to be for Halloween!
- Great write-up Vito, expect more stories as they seem to happen all around me.

How is Lohan to work with? Are all the rumors about her true?
