Hey me,

Don't let your idealism get in your face. You know that happens way too often. Way too much.
Be realistic, but don't let reality get in your face as well.

I want whatever was done to the mice: Memory Manipulation: Could It Make You Happier? - Dumb Out | Dumb Out

If I could go all "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and erase memories, oh, that would be fantastic. I don't have regrets for things I've done, but some of the that was done to me, I'd love to forget.

IJWTS: I had a good day. Tomorrow is going to be weird though. Most of my coworkers took the day off. It's going to be super quiet. And kinda lonely.

For the last half hour, the bookstore I'm at has been playing the same CD. Each track sounds like an "American Idol" reject. For reals, lady, quit strangling the cat, and learn to write lyrics.

One song was literally nothing but, "I need you" repeated at various tempos. It reminded me far too much of this song I had to sing in choir:

Appropriately, the title of the song translates to, "Lord Have Mercy."

IJWTS... My brain is fried after work today. Glad it's a three day weekend!

Aww poor brain. I'm glad you get a nice weekend!

Dear sirs and madams of the maddeningly unhelpful government customer service line,

After nearly an hour of the incessant, tedious hold music, being transferred to the Spanish line and being yammered at so quickly I couldn't translate it even if I were fluent, and being told that the reason I called you is the very reason you cannot help me, I ragequit, as calmly and as politely as possible.

Cordially Yours,

Dark Walker

The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith


People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.

You know what, I thought the same thing!!!

I thought the same thing too.

We have all the problems in the world that we have, and yet we lose our script over the fact he's wearing a tan suit.

I love my country, but sometimes...'Murica.
