(no subject)
I think I’m starting to go on one of those ‘bad’ luck streets. Last night when I got home from work I removed the weight from behind my door, it’s a 23 pound dumbbell. I put it there because we were broken into like three months ago and it’s hard as heck to move if you don’t know how to do it. Well that was all fine, I put it against the TV as usual… Low and behold when I step out of the closet with the clothes I plan to change into, I barely knick my door stand. Well, my door stand is one of those cute little puppy door stands, so needless to say what happened next just flat out depressed me. Seems that when I barely knocked it, the puppy’s foot went into the dumbbell and shattered just partial bit of it… I’m normally not attached to objects or items but I owned, but this was just flat out depressing for me. I liked that thing a lot and to see it broken like that because of my carelessness… Well, it bothers me.
That didn’t stop there though. About 11ish, I went into my bathroom to get a lighthouse nightlight so that I could wake up later on and not trip over anything. Somehow the top part of it fell off and just shattered all over the floor. Big deal you would say? I take full blame for this again for happening. I didn’t know the top fell off but I wasn’t paying attention. By this time I was depressed and didn’t really feel like going to sleep. I had shattered two things that I had liked. It kind of makes me just want to say blah to it all. I’m sure it could be said that they could be replaced, but that’s not how I feel. It shouldn’t have happened in the first place because I’m not the type to just be so careless with things. I’ll get over it in a couple of days, but until then I plan on moping around some.
On the bright side, I have a four day weekend coming up that will amount too… Absolutely nothing. I’ll probably stay at home for the entire four days and just piddle around, as usual. I might catch up on some older movies though, big surprise there huh? Another thing I’d like to do is take a couple of hours to touch up on the forum we’re working on… To make sure things are in order and it can get open so Choey don’t bite my head off. I’d like to keep my head, at least for now, feh.
I also think that I’ve made up my mind about this Christmas stuff. I know that I don’t exactly have a lot of money to spend this year, but I think I’m going to aim for gifts that those I buy for will treasure for years to come. I could take the easy route and give them money or buy them a gift to just be buying it… That doesn’t seem like that great of an idea for me though. The most memorable gifts that I have gotten in my life have come from the heart and often cost nothing. They didn’t even come near in Christmas time to be completely honest.
While I don’t remember this day, it’s something that kind of defines who I want to be. When I was about two years old, I fell in love with this stuffed dog that I found at Wal-Mart. It was a red bodied dog with a shade of white near his face. My parents didn’t exactly have enough money to purchase the animal, but that didn’t stop me from getting the dog. Some kind old woman, who didn’t know us, chipped in and paid the rest for the animal. I think she ended up giving like $10 on it, for complete strangers now. I’m sure as a child I was smiling. Despite how I might be viewed, I still have that animal and will always try to have it. It’s something that I plan on keeping for the rest of my days.
It’s also inspired me to feel like I don’t want or need anything this Christmas. There are several children out there, I’m sure near us, that won’t be able to have that heartfelt/sincere smile. It’s not because their parents don’t love them, but because they can’t afford to do such things. While I’m not rich and can barely make my own bills… I think I am going to start keeping a sharp eye out for things like that whenever I go into stores. Call me a fool, I’m sure I am, but I would rather get a kid a gift like that than have a meal to eat that night. I mean, I’m the type to believe that a smile directly from the heart is worth more than anything money can buy. Maybe I am a fool, but there’s just something you can’t replace that with. If you notice, the forced smiles don’t really do anything for anyone, but those smiles that light up a room… Those can improve a person’s day greatly.

I also wanted to add this, before I had to get back to work. Despite some of the roughness that last night offered though… I actually have a grin on my face. We’re having some fun and cutting up about work today. Earning a few chuckles, giggles, and laughs here and there. Am I being bad and not doing work? You know it. I’ll bust it today, I have no choice but to do so. I’m off for the next four days and I’d hate to leave people with too much work. I’m going to stop there because I need to get back on the ball. I’ve only done two things today and I should have done about twenty. Hope everyone is having a good day. :)
