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.

03-11-2009: My house is going to be clean like you don't even know for the many Fests this month. I have about four laundry loads left and some dog-washing and vacuuming left to do but on the whole I'm in pretty good shape for Chris' arrival Friday evening.
I've got a good 12 of 12 in the works since I have a lot to do. I already missed my 10am meeting at Wachovia but whatever, it's my money and I call the shots. That's what you get for paying me like .000004% interest. I still need to pick up Abby from Jamie's before I do another load of laundry and then drive out to Reston.
PromotionCode.org is almost up to 100 fans on Facebook so if you're not already a fan, it would be nice of you to become one as a personal favor to me. It's rare that I mention anything work related so you should feel honored to be a part of today's entry.
There was big news on the FriendFront last night but I'm not sure if it has been disseminated fully enough for a mention. You know who you are, you just let me know.03-11-2008: Jamie flew back into town yesterday afternoon from Jacksonville and I made it to Reagan in about 15 minutes. With Brian's map I can now do no wrong. After I picked her up we caught a bus (gasp) to Tenleytown where we had lunch then got on the metro (gasp) so she could get fingerprinted for her internship and I could get my SMARTcard. The woman fingerprinting her kept trying to resend a fax and must have done it fifty times while we were there. Getting my SMARTcard was pretty easy although I was hoping it would somehow be smart enough to repel the stench of the homeless on the bus from infiltrating my nose but no, it's just not that smart.
After having dinner in Georgetown we came back to my house and built my dining room table and about 95% of the kitchen pantry. Because it was so late I didn't want to do any hammering or else that would have gotten done too. With those items complete I'm down to only needing to build my new dresser and a bookshelf. Once THAT'S done then I can finally finish up my office and empty out four of the remaining tubs. Awesome. 03-11-2007: Ah, Poker Night. The four of us trotted over to Renee and Ian's around 6:30 to settle in to some poker. Ian made some sort of delicious chicken and mashed potato dish (how can you lose with that combination?) and Chris volunteered some of now-famous pepperoni bread. Ian was the star of the show, ending his string of 2nd place finishes and ruining the nights of everyone else. We stuck around to see if Renee could make a comeback against her boy toy but it was not to be. After leaving our $5 in Ian's wallet we adjourned home. Once there Chris and I broke out some red wine and Jamie and Mike(r) met up with Carlos for a night of dancing. Since Chris and I are old we fell asleep early and the rest of the part returned around 3am-ish.
