Stand back…today I’m going to be positive!

As I’m sitting at my desk this morning listening to the song Walkie Talkie Man by Steriogram I realize I’ve got plenty to be thankful for.


  1. Unlike Odd Todd, I have a job.
  2. I’m drinking expensive coffee–which I didn’t pay for.
  3. Last night I saw Ghost in the Shell 2 with two of my good friends–which was fabulous.
  4. I have nice clothes that I bought on clearance from Sears.
  5. Heather and I are moving to our new house in October.
  6. We just dropped the price on our home and we’re going to sell it soon MLS: 2322092–we even have an open house at 1:00 on Saturday.
  7. The bomb has not dropped yet.
  8. I’ve been alive since the 70s with little or no major medical issues.
  9. I have a great family.
  10. Heather has a great family.
  11. Star Wars came out on DVD today.
  12. I got it yesterday.
  13. Blue
  14. I have a car that runs.
  15. I have a kitty that loves me.
  16. I am a straight man who can get away with singing showtunes to cheer up my fiancee.
  17. I have an iPod loaded with showtunes… and other cool stuff.
  18. The two friends I went out with last night (Tom and Adam) bought me a prime rib dinner last night. (I told you this was a bloggable offense.)
  19. Adam also bought me snacks at the Theatre.
  20. Heather and I have a wedding date! October 8th 2005. Mark your calendars.
  21. My Honda CT90 is running again.
  22. I have a DVD library of more than 500 movies.
  23. I have cool parents. (Thanks Dad)
  24. Our new house is next to a park.
  25. My chipped tooth is fixed.
  26. I think the best thing tho– and I’m not just being mushy here– is that I have a woman who is caring, understanding and level-headed. She’s money minded and great at handling anything financial. She is supportive and loving. She is forgiving and sweet as honey. She makes me smile when I think of her–just because she’s that good. She’s a great kisser. She loves to dance and get her groove thing on with me. She is my–shining star. I’m talkin’ Earth Wind and Fire here boys. She makes me feel like I’m on top of the world.
  27. And she’s hot!

And that’s what being positive is all about.
