I don't know. I have not found anything all that interesting tonight. I did take this short quiz on MSN that by my truthfully answering such and honestly grading such concluded I am likely depressed. I actually did not need to take the test to know that. Hell, I am alone, childless and not really happy about it. I have reasons to feel depressed every so often, but am surely not going to some doctor so he can tell me to put aside my dreams to attain happiness or dope me up with some pills that make a zombie out of me. I am not crazy about the introduce into my system of substances that cause me to lose full control of my mental functions. I am not about to allow some doctor to tell me that life sucks. I know it does, sometimes. It does have its good days and its bad days. Tomorrow could be one of the good days. You never know until it gets here.
UPDATE: Read a lot of other things people are writing and still the news seems pretty dead. I saw some things about someone having a drive to raise $80,000 and that there is going to be another contest between two blogs to see how many links they can get. It seems PWA is again part of the contest, but this time I think Jay Solo is not. As for me, I think I will call this night done, and go find something to read: something that is not on the internet, something mindless, something that does not cause me to think too deeply.
UPDATE SQUARED: Aha, found the trick. PBS was showing Ken Burns "Jazz." Nothing gets your spirits up more than some deep bluesy jazz. I could haved used another hour or so of that, so guess I is time to rotate my CDs. Maybe it was listening to all those "broken heart" country songs that dampened my spirits all day. Yada yada!*
*I just could not remember if I had footnoted any of my messages today, and didn't want to disappoint all of my footnote fans.
Posted by Tiger at June 9, 2003 08:12 PMUnsolicited advice from someone you don't know (also known as "blogvice"): You mentioned that your life has "its good days and its bad days." It basically comes down to which set of days you choose to define your life.
I know, this sounds like an awfully convoluted way of saying "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Still, you might want to try thinking of yourself as a good, all right kind of fella who occasionally has a hell of a bad day. You'd be surprised how much those involuntary parts of you buy into it.
Cheers!
