Worthless and Weak

Ten things you can do to make yourself a better human being.

10. Smile more. The percent of people who smile too much is probably something like half a percent. Chances are, you could make yourself and everyone around you happier by smiling more often.

9. Watch less TV. Its all junk anyway.

8. Enjoy next thursday. You've probably got a hell of a lot to do. (hmmm, actually, if you're reading this, you've probably got more free time than you know what to do with, but anyway...) But you can't have so much work to do that you can't relax for once, let your problems take care of themselves, and just enjoy the day for what it is. Even if its just once every two weeks.

7. Re-read your favorite book. It gets better each time. Really.

6. When you ask for advice, listen to it. Every time I ask for advice on what to do, I've already made up my mind, and its always the thing that I'm advised against doing, and it always turns out wrong. If you're gonna take the time to ask advice, you better seriously consider following it.

5. Realize that its not that important. Really? Whats keeping you up at night? Its not half as important as you think it is. So get to bed and enjoy your sleep.

4. Learn to live with the consequences of your decisions. You were the one who decided to wait until the last minute to do whatever, so why should you complain when you don't get the results you want?

3. Realize that you might not in fact have all the answers. There is a near infinite amount of knowledge out there, and the amount of knowledge that you posses is a miniscule fraction of it.

2. Make another friend. You can't have too many friends.

1. Write your own number one.


I can guarantee you we will have school tomorrow. I know this because my week started off great, and has gotten worse and worse and worse. Among the bad things that have happened recently:

its snowing!
my computer won't load Strongbad's 100th e-mail.
parking ticket
couldn't hang out with my friends as much as I'd like to.

Anyway, maybe it will inverse itself, so that it starts getting better again, and by friday it will incredible. I'd like that.

I used to be real paranoid. And there was one thing that I was like, "alright Garrett, you're just being way to paranoid. you need to get your act in order and realize that its just your imagination run wild." and then the thing I was afraid was going to happen happened. But I'm no longer as paranoid, but is something (actually, the exact same thing) happening again? I hope not, but it'd be characteristic of my life if it did.

Anyway, goodnight all.
