I’ve made a mistake,

by sitting the chocolate covered almonds near the computer chair.


I’m listening to my new Essential 80’s CD [I just got it from the good ol’ Wal-Mart (also a mistake)].


I’ve come to the conclusion that I am more creative in the spring.
I think I need more time for the misery to sink in before I have more creative things to say and more creative things to create (hah!).
I think I still hang on to the beauty of summer until like after Christmas break.

There is some quote in Little Miss Sunshine that Steve Carell says... I can’t fully remember, but its basically explains that this dude enjoyed or liked his miserable times because when he’s miserable he sees more about stuff or whatever.
And I love that quote, hold tight while I search for it.

(20 minutes later) HERE!

Dwayne : I wish I could just sleep until I was eighteen and skip all this crap-high school and everything-just skip it.
Frank:
Do you know who Marcel Proust is?
Dwayne: He's the guy you teach.
Frank: Yeah. French writer. Total loser. Never had a real job. Unrequited love affairs. Gay. Spent 20 years writing a book almost no one reads. But he's also probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. Anyway, he uh... he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, Those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing. So, if you sleep until you're 18... Ah, think of the suffering you're gonna miss. I mean high school? High school-those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that.



Not exactly how I remember it sticking with me, but hey, isn’t that how most things are in life?
Little Miss Sunshine is so good.



Come back in the spring time months, and I’ll have more interesting things to say.
