Estoy Enfermo...

Dear readers,

For the past week I have been really ill. It really sucks. However, in the process, I have learned a lot about myself. These things include:

-My sick voice is really sexy (someone told me).
-I speak spanish more often when sick.
-I'm a lot funnier when delerious due to symptoms of sickness.
-I must be cooler because bands want me to hang out with them after performing.
-I become more aggressive, for example, I tackled people in snow football and was really pumped.
-I lose the ability to sleep easy :(

Let me know about your sick stories or revelations. The comments sections have been like a desert lately, left empty and dry...

Days are like Bernie Bott's Every Flavor Beans...

Dear Readers,

If I haven't given myself away with the title, you just learned that I am a Harry Potter fan(atic?). I have read all the books, seen all the movies, and often compare my life to it. Moving on.

Days are like Bernie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. Some days are your favorite flavor, like when you get to hang out with your friends a lot and don't have homework, or cherry. Some days are okay and you move on not really thinking about them, like butterscotch. Some days you really don't enjoy, like when you are swamped with tests, or like pepper flavored jelly beans. But the worst is when days (Like today for me) are right out miserable, like the earwax or vomit flavored beans.
Today I felt like I was gonna die (self diagnosed head cold and bronchitis/pneumonia), had to go to work tonight unexpectedly and missed out on some really cool plans, and most horrifyingly my computer crashed like 5 times( don't worry, I gave it CPR).


Either way, the life lesson to learn from this is that many days are not going to be your favorite, and may downright suck, but the more crappy flavored jelly beans you eat/bad days you have, it makes you truly cherish and enjoy when the good ones happen. (Insert Cheesy AWWWWWW)

Interesting thought of the day...

Hey there,

I just had an interesting thought that I figured I would share:

We, in this country and probably others too, give the largest paychecks to the people who are the best at distracting us from living our own lives.

Chew on that, think about it, and let me know what you think. ~BS

the 3:1 ratio

Dear Readers,

I know. It's been too long since I last posted. Sorry. Life has been crazy. I've had more work than my brain can handle, and this past weekend I got suckerpunched by a stomach bug that I named BOB (Bombs over Brian) that had me vomiting until there was no liquid left in me, and then still some more. Sorry for the candidness.

Other quick updates:
-got into two grad schools
-Clemens used steroids
-got nominated for a sick award
-doing well in classes


Okay, there is something I need to share with you. I will call it the 3:1 ratio. It is a theory by this amazing psychologist named Barbara Frederickson, who does a lot of work in the field of positive psychology. What it means is:

in order to live a happy life, you must experience

3 positive things for every 1 negative

Everybody has a ton of bad things happen to them, but you can still lead a happy and fulfilling life according to this theory if you have this balance.

I Have experienced these 3 positives today:


1. Relay For Life: Quinnipiac is hosting it for the first time, and it is gonna be great because of these names of teams ( oh, there is a worldwide/place/passport to hope/country/city theme)

my team:
Apple Bottom Jeans and Boots with Darfur

others:
Cancer Israel (get it? Cancer is real)
Czech Up On It
Iran for a Cure
Not Alaskan a lot
Shake Djibouti
You're Walking Too Fast, Kuwait for me and more

2. Something I should have seen before: LOLcats



3: Get ready to vomit because of the cheesiness: My friends.

What were your three?

The end
