You are the bestest of the best,
the sweetest of the sweet,
You make the world a better place,
which is no small feat.

You are smart, kind, and wise
And beautiful as well
Even if you won't believe your own eyes

I wish you the best Mary Ann;

Doctor Who. I can have the crappy of craptastic days and I'll watch a few episodes of Doctor Who and suddenly, the world is a little bit better.

Take for instance, today.  Not that great. Not terrible but trying and frustrating and really difficult.  This continued after school and then when I went to the gym.

Seriously, I hate winter for a variety of reasons but one of the main ones is that I can't keep my windows open to get some fresh air.  And when I go outside, the air is mostly ice that freeze my nose and lungs.

But spring has fresh air.  The air ( Read more... )

Today, I walked a full mile without my knee bothering me.  I might actually walk and run again.  Just need to keep stretching.  Until then elliptical machine shall be my ( Read more... )

First we have the Alabama man who went on a shooting spree earlier this month.  In the same 24-hour period, a kid in Germany goes and shoots up his school.

Then yesterday, I hear about a guy who open fire in a nursing home, where most of the victims were 70+.  Then talking to my dad last night, he continues the theme by telling me about a 23-year ( Read more... )
