Silver Linings

After a bit of a nearly-quarter-life crisis, it has been my goal to become an inherent optimist.

My new philosophy of life was partially cemented by an episode of Friends, where a little girl played by Dakota Fanning frankly reminds an unhappy Ross that “whiners are wieners”. Yes, it came from a Friends episode, I know, but still, the principle is true (and the phrase is catchy).

With this new goal I’ve noticed that the world is a beautiful shade of silver. Not gray. Silver. The phenomenon of cause-and-effect has shown that even the most disastrous causes can prove to have angelic effects. My sister (go Beck) recently noted how Hurricane Ike, despite the troubles, is giving the Church some spotlight. Not finding a job I wanted allowed me to change my major to something exciting. My window doesn’t have a screen, but at least now I can launch projectiles onto unaware passersby.

Life is good. Maybe even metallic-ly so.

actually, it was Joey that Dakota Fanning was advising. Not that I've seen every episode a thousand times or anything . . .
