The World is Just Awesome

This commercial warms my heart. As most of you know, I am obsessed with the Discovery Channel. My TV (a sweet 1996 27'' Mitsubishi hand-me-down from Mom and Pop) currently only successfully broadcasts about 10 channels. The cable jack in the back of my TV fell out one day, because it was tired of being jiggled. Any time the picture got fuzzy, we would just jiggle the cable jack until the snowiness subsided. Once the jack reached its breaking point (literally) I had a friend jimmy rig it for me so that it could still be watched. He soldered the jack back in, but with limited channel access. Somehow, (cough cough) I put the test channel on Discovery while he was fixing it.. so for sure that one would work.

I am a colossal nerd. So sue me.

Anyway, I love everything about the Discovery Channel, because I really do think "The World is Just Awesome" .

Lets talk about this commercial now. My favorite segments include Bear Grylls's tender proclamation of his love for the whole world to a scorpion, Adam lighting Jamie's sleeve on fire, Mike Rowe's admiration of "real dirty things..." , that weird mummy lady, and the tribal warrior screaming BOOMDIADA!!!!

I seriously could not love a human baby more than this commercial. Okay well I take that back, but my heart definitely sings along whenever this clip comes on TV. The world is just awesome.

Taxes Suck.

Mmmmkay So... remember that one time where I wrote a blog about how wonderful tax refunds were? Well. I take it back. It would just much rather the government not take my money in the first place. The paycheck I'll be getting tomorrow will be missing 23% of my earnings. LAME. That means one out of every four dollars I earn never even makes it into my bank account. Don't get me wrong. I'm totally blessed to have such an awesome job and to be able to work and live in a free country, and its not that I hate taxes in general, I know freedom isn't free... it just kind of pisses me off that they take money from me, and I have to wait a whole year before I get it back. If I'm getting it back anyway, why take it? I'm sure there is an explanation and that if I researched it I could probably understand the reasoning to be logical, but for right now I'd much rather just hate the government for taking hard earned dolla dolla bills. My poor little poopsies.

Day Makers and Breakers.

I have had some more spectacular days lately, and I think its time for a list of the latest Day Makers I have encountered.

Day Maker Number1: Realizing that the very first boy you ever kissed remembers you, remembers where when and why you kissed, and contacts you after 8 years just to say "Hey". Does the math seem a little shady? I am sorry, I admit it. My very first kiss was in the 7th grade. Shame on me. But it was cute nonetheless.

Number 2. I have been going to the gym every day (except Sundays) for the last 5 days and I have been LOVING it. Whats even better.. is that working out has miraculously cleared up my skin. Excellent.

Number 3. Getting Promoted at work. Nice.

Number 4. Realizing that its almost my birthday! It totally snuck up on me.



Yay for day makers!

Done... moving in!

Not perfect yet... but its clean to the point that looking at it doesn't give me anxiety. In fact, I pretty much love me room.
