Writings on the Wall:
Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, they got........ better?
Breakfast:
This morning, I woke up still feeling emo and decided to make myself some cereal for breakfast. When I went down to eat a bit I noticed something strange in my bowl. I thought I was going crazy so I left my apartment to clear my head.

Now, would you eat that?
A Walk:
I decided to go for a drive but when I saw my neighbors car, I decided to go for a walk instead....

People....wash your cars
Lucky me though, It was a perfect day for a walk because the rain had finally stopped and the sun peaked it's eyes through the clouds.

Can you find the smile?
I Hop:
After going for my walk I decided to eat at I Hop and ordered a Rooty Tooty Fresh & Fruity. The waitress brought out my plate and all I could think to myself was *now it's just getting ridiculous*

Looks good enough to eat.
After I ate to my heart's content I decided to go outside and read a newspaper. Flipping through the paper left it's own surprises.

News Flash!!!!
A New Day:
After all the crazy happenings today I came to the realization that at heart I'm an optimistic person. When things are their bleakest there is always a way out....a silver lining.
So here is what I came away with today:
~If you are always feeling bad for yourself...you might not look up one day and miss something amazing.

Carpe Diem....

awww thats such a cute entry
THOSE 1/3 LESS SUGAR CEREALS ARE FALSE ADVERTISING :urgent:
I read the box and they just replace the sugar with corn syrup, which turns into the same diabetes-causing sugar when you eat it
....yeah, I read cereal boxes in the grocery store :blink:
thank you for the smile! smiles ARE contagious. :flowers:
...Okay, I HAD to ask... who the hell takes the pictures of you? Do you use a tripod, or have a Lan Lackey who follows you around with a hunch on his back, saying "yes mastaaa"
whoaaa.... hahah. how random! a smiley face day!
but i absolutely loved it!
hahahaha
have a nice day!
you kill me!
looks like someone had a wonderful day!
mygosh...u DEFINATELY spend too much time and effort making ur xanga a good read!
Excelente.
That's so creative! How can we read that and not smile?

:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

U lucky the weather seem so nice where u live...
i'd eat em smiles.. how else would you get em into your body?
haha... im not cra...
actually, nevermind.. :blink:
tomorrows a new day, and hope you're more upbeat then
p.s. Fruit Loops are "da bomb!" :dribble:
Always so creative, as usual. Cute
:biggrin: Thanks for making so many people smile (including me)!
ryc ryc: Damn, I was hoping to ask you if I could borrow your hunchback helper.
i love biting the heads off of ginger bread men and chocolate bunnies...hmm what would freud think??
okay, maybe one.
the more i look at your pics the more i wanna go out and get the canon s500
just a quick question, do you edit the pics in any way, like change the contrast/saturation or sharpness of the pics??
RYC: i agree with you totally....
and wow, i love your site. it looks like you bring your camera around everywhere. and not just that, you must snap intermittently and produce 243432534 pictures per day lol.
good GOD, man! RUN! They're everywhere!
(glad you're feeling better...)
ahahhaha.. you're good. =]
Aww I'm glad you're feeling better now! Haha and about the picture I commented with last time [if you remember], yes it's what you think it is
By the way, I was also involved in a little car accident earlier this year.. Injury wasn't too serious. It was my first car accident [though I wasn't the driver] But anyways I hope you're okay!!
