"Why can't you be in a good mood? How hard is it to decide to be in a good mood and be in a good mood once in a while?"

For a while I forgot that life was full of adventure. I know that everyday has the potential to be one and it's far too easy to let it sneak by without taking it on... I don't want to do that anymore, not as often as I have been. Today I sprinted through best buy ducking and hiding behind shelves like an obvious-ninja from no one in particular, talked to strangers, sacrificed dignity for the sake of hilarity... and it reminded me of childhood. I was so happy, and I really needed it.

There was a show called "Ed" that used to air on NBC. I love that show, and I have been watching it again recently. Ed and his best friend Mike have what I refer to as "$10 bets" which range from "10 bucks if you meow loud enough to make that guy turn around," to "10 bucks if you place your lunch order in rhyme," and "10 bucks if you ask the waitress to bring you a doggy bag for one french fry." I have decided to start doing awesome little $10 bets to myself (because I have no other takers) just to help push those moments in life that are nearly unforgettable for no other reason than that they are entertaining and silly.

Why the picture? ... Well I spent an entire day with a camera where all the pictures of me were my face covered because I hate having pictures taken of me. This is the only one that I got of my face, and it wasn't SO bad -- never mind that I turned it purple...

Until next time...
