Current music:oh shut your mouth how can you say I go about things the wro

Such a god awful small affair
Sometimes I get so sad. I don't know what triggers it really. It just washes over me. I feel like I'm standing on a beach with a bucket, trying to stop the ocean from overflowing.
It's silly really. If I look back a couple of years my life was much worse. I try to be appreciative of what I have accomplished so far, and to look positively at the future because I do believe that things will get even better.
But then sometimes I lose sight of that and I get caught in moment and I feel like I want to cry. Or just lie down on the ground and stare up at the sky. Or the ceiling. Either one. I feel this pointlessness and hopelessness. It's strange really. I can alternate day by day from really trying my best to eat healthy and work out and ride my bike to work and talk to people and try to improve things.. and then the next day I want to throw it all out the window and not do anything and stay in my bed because it doesn't help anyway.
Ah well. I guess it's just a matter of trying to hold on to the good days, have as many of them as possible so I can feel a real improvement in my life and thereby get the strength to fight off the bad days. A positive cycle.
I should write a self-help book. I would make a great guru. Of course I'd be one of those fake gurus who preaches abstinence and purity of the soul and then I go home and hang out with prostitutes, dope and alcohol. And my self-help book would consist of the words "Don't feel bad, stupid". A positive message indeed.
I'm not sure if today is a good or a bad day. But I know there's a package waiting for me at home from Skye, so it's definitely going to improve.

That's funny, cause I want to hang out with drugs and abuse.. no no, I can't even say it.
As your guru I command you to.. I don't know. Jump up and down 5 times while chanting "chickens are people too" ?
Hmm, I need to work on this guru stuff I think.

I feel like that a lot too. But I guess that comes with being a teenager.
Woot for being moody and bipolar. LOL.

I have to send you this email that SHOULD brighten your day..
if not, at least give you a better outlook on it.. :)

<333

Here.. I just decided to make a big comment.. :p

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a
good mood and always has something positive to say.

When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If
I were any better, I would be twins!"

He was a natural motivator.

If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling
the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up
to Michael and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive
person all of the time. How do you do it?"

Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you
have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ...you
can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood.

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim
or.... I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every
time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their
complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I choose
the positive side of life.


"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.

"Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you
cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you
react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose
to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how
you live your life."

I reflected on what Michael said. Soon hereafter, I left the
Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often
thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to
it.

Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a
serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was
released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.

I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked
him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna
see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone
through his mind as the accident took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of
my soon to be born daughter, "Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the
ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I
could choose to die. I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.

Michael continued, "...the paramedics were great. They kept
telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER
and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got
really scared. In their eyes, I read "he's a dead man. I knew I needed
to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,
said Michael. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. "Yes, I
replied." The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my
reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, "Gravity." Over their laughter,
I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not
dead."

Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also
because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that everyday we
have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry
about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. You
have two choices now: 1. Delete this. 2. Forward it to the people you
care about.

If you wrote a self-help book, I'd be sure to buy it. Even if it doesn't have an all that positive message, but sometimes (most of the time!) the positive messages in self-help books are... hmm nauseating? I mean, what the fuck is the jantelov in reverse about?

hope you'll have a good day, packages and just post in general are always a hit.

That's the spirit! If everyone thought like that then I'd be rich. That would help my self. I have never heard of the jantelov in reverse. It sounds... upsidedown. My day has been quite good yes, packages are always fun. Especially when they have stuff in them. Yay for stuff!

How can you possibly live in Denmark without having heard the jantelov in reverse? It's goes like "I think I'm special" and bla bla bla.. as if. I'm not saying it's not true, but just because something's been written down it doesn't mean that it's the truth. The jantelov is not just the jantelov because some guy named Axel Sandemose (var det nu også ham??) wrote it. I'm vrøvling :)

Hey, the law is the law. We must obey the law. No matter how silly. Otherwise it's just anarchy. Hmm, actually anarchy is fun. Let's do that!
"vrøvling" hehe :)

icecreamism is a very good thing. just think about it, if it weren't for icecream we would be even unhappier than we are. My generation practically grew up with the beverly hills icecream eating, you know.
