Fuzzy Puppies

I got up this morning and decided that I'm really sick and fucking tired of being unhappy so I'm not going to be. I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to do that, but I've always been pretty good at ignoring problems until they go away (or at least until they come to a head and I'm forced to confront them), so that's what I'll do here. I'm just going to choose to ignore these unhappy thoughts until they disappear. When I feel 'da funk a comin' on, I'll just think of fuzzy puppies or something. I'm pretty sure that fuzzy puppies trump the blues in most cases. Worth a shot anyway... I'm also going to start including one thing that makes me happy in every blog post... Besides, Thanksgiving is coming and Christmas after that and for once these holidays will be about what they're supposed to be about; being with family and friends and just enjoying the people I love. I seriously am not buying gifts for anyone this year. It's partially because I'm borderline broke right now and partially because I refuse to get caught up in the stupid materialism that seems to get a stranglehold on everyone this time of year. If I had some sort of "crafty" bone in my body I would make things for everyone, but my creative talents don't lie along those lines. So cards and my love and affection are it from this girl. The more I think about it, the more I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving. I really miss my sister. Both of us have crazy lives these days and we hardly even get a chance to talk anymore, so even though it's going to be a short trip, at least we'll actually get to spend some time together... On a totally unrelated note, can someone please make Cartoon Network stick to a lineup on Saturday nights? They are really confusing my poor DVR. I just want to record "Inuyasha" and "Samurai Champloo." Is that too much to ask? Seems to be these days... Work was dead, dead, dead today. I suspect it will be for the rest of the year. This town pretty much shuts down for the holidays... Let's see, what other random crap can I babble about tonight? I had a damn good week on EQ. I dinged 38 with Apriori tonight. Woo Hoo! If I keep getting into good groups I should be able to get to 40 this week. Yes, I'm a dork. We all know this... For the rest of you geeks out there, go check out Brian Azarello's new comic. It's called "Loveless." It's a western and it's pretty damn good... Ok, that's enough for tonight. I need to get some sleep. It will be hard to maintain my new fuzzy puppy outlook on life if I'm all grumpy from sleep deprivation... My happy thing for today's post is the Jack Links Beef Jerky commercials. They amuse the hell out of me...

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad."
