IT IS WHAT IT IS

If I never hear this expression again in my life, it will be way too soon.

I don't know if it's because I didn't notice it before now or if it is suddenly taking the nation by storm, but before 3 months ago, I don't think I could tell you that I had heard this 5 word expression. However, in the last 3 months, I have been inundated by it in my personal life, at work...where ever I happen to be, someone is throwing it at me.

I know that it is an expression that is supposed to be comforting (I think), but it illicits the most violent reaction within me every time I hear it.

Maybe it's a personal problem that I must come to terms with. Maybe it's one of those - "the truth hurts" things, I'm not sure.

Maybe this expression just bites ASS!
