Topic: Give me some good news

I'm depressed as the dickens today.

Tell me something good about the world that I'm missing or about yourself.

If I hate you, tell me something bad that happened to you.

I'll tell you about my cousin.

His mother died in september. We buried her in October. He's had major car repairs since then. Last week his dog had to have surgery on his foot. Yesterday his favourite cat had to be put down.

Today, however, my family went and picked him up a kitten from the humane society. I didn't actually go since I live out of town, but I picked out the kitten from the online adoptions. When my cousin saw him (he had to be there for the adoption) he didn't even look at the other kittens. Otis now has a home, and my cousin has a little companion to keep him company.

Here's a photo of Otis. He's the black and white kitty. His brother and sister were previously adopted, leaving Otis all alone.

I got MCP certified, that's cool. Going to take my 290 in a week or so and turn it into an MCNA. Should help me find a better job.

China, Germany, France, and even ultra-socialist Sweden are all cutting taxes on the wealthy, which is good if you're concerned about the world in general and not as much about the US specifically.

The war in Iraq is over, the government meets 13 of the 18 political benchmarks, local military and law enforcement are increasingly capable, and open violence is well below the level found in any given American metropolitan area. The Hussein nuclear weapons program is now in Canada safely earmarked for civilian power generation.

Those are all pretty good things.

I tried out one of these yesterday; if you smoke it's pretty good news.

Expensive piece of equipment that makes a pack of cigarettes cost $1.70, doesn't involve burning so no carcinogens, looks cool, and is pure nicotine cutting out most of the bad stuff (Most because nicotine still paralyzes the cilia in your lungs) that smoking gives you.

I checked out the patent a week or so back after being linked that site, and it seemed cool enough that I tried it out in my local mall even though I don't smoke. Basically, it vaporizes a small amount of water and pushes it across a piece of flavored nicotine-paper to your mouth. Easy design, but very cool and works well. You could probably make your own for 1/10 of what it actually costs, but it would turn out much larger, uglier, and less convenient.

I found out the other day that I have a sweet credit score, and I'm only 19.

Also, I just recently became a nationally-and-state licensed and certified pharmacy technician.

Also, I finished another semester of school (taking 22 hours/12 classes ) with a stupendous GPA.

All in all, my life is going pretty great right now.

When I woke up this morning, it was only 50f in my room! So then I turned the heater on and it is steadily growing warmer! Speaking of heat, my cat is in heat. She's howling at me as I type this.

I woke up yesterday with my left big toe feeling sore. I woke up today with it throbbing and swollen. I mysteriously sprained it - I don't remember doing anything worth noting that would result in a sprained toe in the last couple of days.

I ripped my leather coat and now I have to part with it until after the new year while it gets repaired. It also cost me $60.

I had to read a book for a course I'm taking:


White Teeth

It turned out to be a really good read. Despite being a story that immediately begins with a guy committing suicide, it is full of humor and well written.

edit: So, in other words, classwork is turning out not to be such a chore.

The office Christmas party was this past Saturday. The food was much improved compared to last year's. I had the steak.

There was a Chinese raffle, in which the prizes were:

1. A 8-gb iPod nano - the silver one with the black wheel.
2. A $100 Best Buy gift card
3. A $50 Target gift card
4. A pair of Sabres tickets
5. A portable DVD player with a 8.5 inch screen

I myself won the portable DVD player - bringing the number of DVD-capable devices in my house to six: It, my computer, my Xbox, my Xbox 360, my mom's laptop, and a portable DVD player she got when we had Directv.

Well, since Saturday night I've pretty much had no voice. I sound a bit like a raspier version of Clint Eastwood in "Heartbreak Ridge". I'm hoping my voice comes back by Wednesday, when I have to go back to work. Because when I talk too much, I cough to the point that I feel like I'm gonna hack up a lung.

Or do 20 minutes on an eliptical trainer for exactly the same benefits, on the tightest settings. While at the same time cutting down on impact damage to your joints.

Yeah but they're ellipticals. Trust me, treadmills are superior, unless you're a girl or something.

Nothing wrong with ellipticals, they just seem to attract the crowd that thinks 15-20 minutes on them is going to sculpt their body into perfect frames therefore they can just skip the weight training and healthy diet portions.
