My “news” has been too heavy lately.+ I need to focus on more light-hearted posts for like, say, the next year.

OK, so that isn’t going to happen, as I am (a self labeled I have to add here) a cautious optimist. I prefer to be more positive, but I won’t be surprised if the worst should happen.

Hope for the best, expect the worst is my motto. That way, I’m never take off guard. I know that’s a rather wimpy way to live, but I’ve always been on the wary side, even as a kid. (Except when running and falling down a steep, rocky hill or climbing into the barrel of a dissected washing machine. And then plunging into the neighborhood swamp in said improvised vehicle. Good times.)

So I will make more of an effort to post and post light entries. We’ll see how it goes.

(ruffles around looking for light news. Tosses out articles announcing more layoffs ahead for ‘09 and how we’re all going to die, die, DIIIIIIIIEEEEEE. Honestly, people can be so negative.)

Ahh. Here is it. I just read a news article that went like this: Football Bad for the Brain. Ya think? Really? 250 lbs plus men running at each other? Bad for the brain? Nyah. Well, watching it can be bad for the mind, so maybe the journalist has made a point.

Just teasing. Maybe.

+Sidenote: I feel so much better, like a tremendous load has been lifted off my cerebellum. I swear, that friend of mine must be a psychic vampire or something, because I am happy now. Not depressed or anxious or anything like that.
