Just do it.

I was driving home from the gym tonight, and the John Tesh show came on the radio. "Intelligence for Your Life," you know. The schtick of this show is that Tesh presents short tidbits about various subjects in the vein of "Did you know....?" The segment I heard tonight was about negative thinking and stress. He actually said the following: "People who are cynical feel more stress. They're more suspicious, and they're mistrustful of others." He noted that negative thinking creates stress, which leads to higher blood pressure and depression. He also noted that negative people have fewer friends, which also leads to depression. The bit was followed -- appropriately -- by "Walking on Sunshine."

I was in the car by myself, and I laughed long and hard as I listened. "Yes! Yes, that's it! Just think positively! Just do it! Unless you want to die early a miserable and friendless reject, then you better get your mind right, and you better do it now."

Well, that was enough for me. Today is a whole new day. I will never be distrustful of another person. I will cast out all doubts and wield a mental machete against any creeping sarcasm, cynicism, or passivity.

I'm a driver; I'm a winner. Things are gonna change, I can feel it.




1. I love singing*, and I do it often. I sang the shit out of "Walking on Sunshine."

2. The word "busking." I'm a huge word nerd, and some words just tickle the shit out of me. That's one of them.

3. I've lost four pounds. Supermodelsuperstardom here I come!!

*Endorsement of singing does not imply quality of said singing.
