I am often the bringer of bad news, the harbinger of the horrible and the writer of worldly woes yet today I think we could all stand to hear some good news. No one wants to talk about how we’re poised to go into a period of record inflation, large scale job-loss, all kinds of new taxes, and more broken government programs. You don’t want to think about bailouts of everything under the sun, nor about how if you happen to live in California you’ll get an IOU rather than a tax-rebate, or if you’re in New York you’ll have dozens of new taxes added to your new year, or how if you live in South Florida your schools won’t be getting the money they use to get.

Don’t worry about the bad news, you’ll just get ulcers. Instead focus on the good things, like the nice weather we’re all having right now. I mean I’ve got my windows open and my shorts on. I know some people find it a little chilly but hey it’s not that bad. Walk outside at night and it’s a bit cool but otherwise it’s quite comfortable and there’s even a nice breeze right now. All in all when we’ve got nothing else, at least we we can be thankful for the weather. I hope all of you are enjoying it as much as I am because really if you don’t have this nice weather it’d be really easy to get down and depressed about the state of the world.

I’ve determined that Mondays are definitely not the best day for me to be required to post.. I shall bear my burden for the short term.

So what things have kept me from posting on schedule? Why… school and Jack Bauer of course. Perfectly valid reasons.

I leave you with just a few thoughts.

For some reason my phone thinks Nonmomoonm is a word. A quick search on google shows blogs and such referencing the word, but apparently I’m not the only one who has remarked at this.

Finally, I just wanted to let you know that in some poor kid’s mind, I’m famous:

It's ok... I probably would have picked that answer too.

I wanted to try not posting about what I got for Christmas again, but for some reason this ‘gift’ had to be noted. This gift was given via snail-mail and internets to Superstretch, HT and I from the illustrious (or illustrationous) Zepuka. Let me start with a disclaimer to HT as it is unconfirmed if he has received this gift also in the mail. (CTRL+W out if you haven’t gotten it yet.) Without further deliberation…

If you’ve been following the situation in Israel at all in the last few days you’ll realize that there’s a war of sorts going on between Israel and the Hamas militants in Gaza. I say militants because that’s what it seems the media wants you to think of them, a better term would be terrorists. Unfortunately I’m afraid if we called them terrorists then we might have to believe that Israel was doing the right thing in this situation.

Don’t even start. You can’t have my dog. I know I’m a day late, and I don’t really care. If you had the past two days that I’ve had, you’d probably be in a corner, crying.

However, that’s not what I wanted to write about. I want to write about a movie I saw last Thursday. It’s a story about a man. A man who has a profound affect/effect on people he finds. I want to talk about Seven Pounds.

Be very aware that there are many spoilers, both implied and otherwise, so unless you’ve seen the movie or don’t plan on seeing it (in that case, what is wrong with you?) PLEASE don’t keep reading. Come back and read this after you’ve seen it- and believe me, its well worth seeing in theaters.
