This is a story about a man dealing with depression. Stuck in mundane life where nothing ever changes, he has effectively given up on hoping for change. He blames his passive personality for his tedious and repetitive reality, but he has a sort of cynically optimistic outlook on life as he is aware that there are those who are worse off than him. This however doesn’t null his pain as he tries to cope with it through watching TV and playing video games. He uses self deprecating humor to hide his true feelings from the world as often what he says in his head is vastly different from what he actually says.
