52 Tips for Happiness and Productivity Try rising early. It’s not for everyone, I’ll admit. It may not be for you. But I’ve found it to be an amazing change in my life. It has made the start of my days much more positive, and I now have time for writing, exercise, and silent contemplation. I...
This has been sitting on my desktop for ages, figured it was time to get rid of it. The Instructions: Bold and underline the ones you've done. The Actions: Bought everyone in the pub a drink (it was very late, the pub was almost empty, I was very drunk, and I still don’t know how it slipped past...
I seem to have overshot the mark on this one and there is just no goddamn way I'm going to be able to turn this into a clever exposé narrative. Here are the results of my brief interview with the imitable $6/monkey: 1. Are you anticipating a rise in the cost of monkeys? Always. The cost of quality...
Now that the American presidential campaign is past the primaries the little scuffs and bruises the candidates have been dishing out and receiving will start to be more below the belt and I imagine in a few more months the large serrated blades will start to be carried quietly, and a few months...
Basically, the title speaks for itself. You make a list of 101 things you want to accomplish within the next 1001 days (about three years). The only criteria: tasks must specific (no ambiguity - must be clear and measurable) and they have to be realistic, while also requiring some effort on your...

DAY FIVE- St. Maarten This place was the nicest of them all! Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera along, so I've got no pictures left to show v.v. But, here, the water was the clearest! You didn't even have to go snorkeling to see the ground! But I found a snorkel in the water and I used that one...

I nicked this from gcgal who stole it from [this is connie]. Does this mean we're not nice girls? :o) If I've done 'em, they're crossed out. If they're not crossed out they're still on the list to be done. Bought everyone in the pub a drink Swum with wild dolphins Climbed a mountain Taken a Ferrari...
I think about some weird stuff. Like, I wounder what Ruffles would taste like with peanut butter on them? I also think about past stuff, and how thing would've turned out "IF". You know what I'm talkin about. Have you ever been playing Solitaire on your computer and got to the end and hit "undo" so...
Two stories. One is true, one is made up. Which is which? Here's story number one. Burton Wendelmeyer shakes his head as he points to the digital photo frame. It shows a group of kids, all smiles and giggles in white tops and bright blue shorts and skirts against a yellow wall. Burt picks out one...
B: "Don't ever ask me to trust you again. Thanks for letting me know about Texas & Stacy. I enjoy being made a fool!" "Well fuck if I know up from down in that situation. I didn't know you'd want to know if I knew it. Some people don't like that information from a third party. "Furthermore, I...
I am talking to my dear girlfriend now in msn. And this word just flashes through my mind. What is a relationship? This is what I get from a dictionary;"The way in which two or more people feel and behave towards each other". To me it is a bond that is form over a period of time between one or more...

This was originally a "what-have-I-done" kind of meme that Christina <3 swiped from Kzinti. Well, I scored a 63 out of what, about 200 items here. But I'm not going to tell you which 63. Instead, I'm going to underline the items that I am now adding to my to-do list. Everything else? Well, you'll...

It's 4 months and 2 days to the big day, and everyone's just getting attached anyway. I seem to have always thought that people would have gotten most of their priorities right by now. I hope I'm not making this comment because I'm jealous :/ She impresses me - with the fact that she can get so...
