Weekend: December 09, 2007 - Best Advice in the World
In 28 years of living, I have concluded that there is a single piece of advice that, when followed, can solve any problem and get you through anything. Friends, I'm going to share with you that advice right now: Suck it the f* up. Just suck it up. So you have to work over the weekend instead of being able to sit around and do nothing? Big deal--just suck it up. You're losing by like six touchdowns to Chris in NCAA football--just suck it up. You stubbed your toe while trying to carefully step over your dog and now it really hurts--just suck it up. You think you're the only one with problems? You don't know how good to you have it and how many millions of people would cut off their left arm to be you. Is your life perfect? Hell no, which is all the more reason just to suck it up and be grateful for all the things that you do have going for you. No one likes a complainer and, here's a little secret, with the exception of: your mom, your significant other (sometimes), and your dog(s), no one could care less about your complaining. Now that you know no one cares, just stop it. You're entitled to three-five seconds of freak-out but then, at that point, you just need to suck it the f* up and take care of business.
Today's entry brought to you be the f-word!

But I like to complain! (Said, of course, with a high-pitched voice and appropriate hand gesture.) - SC
I hope the other "good" letters start to write entries soon. - SC
And Huckabee jumps to the front of the pack... - Mike
He doesn't stand a chance in the national election. Moderate Republicans hate him as does everyone else. If he's elected I'll see you in Uruguay.

02-09-2009: Here's something I don't understand: Why is taxpayer money called "our" money? The government is always saying "Oh, we're spending your money so well, blah, blah blah." It's not our money--it's your money. We paid it to you so it's yours. When your employer gives you your paycheck, it's no longer HIS money, it's YOUR money. And you can spend your money any way you want. For some reason, though, when the government spends THEIR money they like to pretend that it's ours and they have our best interests at heart. Neither case is true so I wish they'd stop saying it and acting that way. I realize it's a little bit different than the employer-employee example in that the employee does not dictate how much money they make but still, once the money isn't in your possession it can hardly be considered "yours".
I'd also like a law to be put in place where you could only complain about the government proportionally to your tax burden. If Warren Buffet wants to complain, step aside! We all pay varying amounts for the same amount of government services (they don't keep Warren Buffet any safer than they keep me) so it doesn't really behoove us to work hard for some sort of reward. I feel like more of a libertarian with each passing day. I took the day off blogging but only because I was thinking of you. 02-09-2007: On the bright side, at least I don't live in Oswego, NY where they got eight feet of snow. Down here in the Deep South we've been battling upper-60 storms that bring no rain nor clouds. In fact, we've had some of the nicest weather in recent memory while the rest of you toil at your stupid schools or stupid jobs in -30 weather with freezing snow.
Tomorrow is my bon voyage party at RD even though I'll still be working there for a while. We're going to Bonefish (mmm). The last time I went somewhere nice to eat was Georgio's with Jamie and her mom and frankly, the food wasn't all that great. The problem with Georgio's is that the first time I went there I thought the food was awesome but I've been severely disappointed every time since. Alas.02-09-2006: Since there's so much going on today let's take a break from the Percentages List. First, today is a Write The Caption day.
I got my ass kicked in Karate by this 18 year old girl who was studying to be a tattoo artist. She was almost done with her studies but she was still having problems "drawing straight lines". Super. We learned our first two kenpos tonight. I keep trying to get people to grab my wrists so I can do my new move but as pchris demonstrated at poker tonight, it's hard to do in practice without the crucial nut-kick.
Congratulations to elena who got her first (sanctioned) kill of the year and to tchris for finally ending the game at midnight and getting his first (sanctioned) win of the year.
Tomorrow we're going to take a five hour lunch and go to Gordo's. I'm pumped.
