Heres the cover of my soon to be printed first-ever, knock-your-socks-right-off, self-published, home-made, MINI-COMIC!
Now all I have to do is get myself off to the copy shop and run off a few printings, but knowing the procrastinator that is me, that may be awhile. Im in no rush though, it gives me time to tweak things a little.
This business of saving money is not unlike torture in many ways.
Are you aware that this last Saturday all the Star Wars Episode 3 stuff officially went on sale? The kid in me was screamin Lets go shopping! Come on lets go! But I was good. I was wise. And I decided that the best thing for me would be to stay home and take down my Christmas lights and tidy up the garage. Not much fun granted, but it got me outside and it didnt cost me a dime. As for the Star Wars goodies, I did the next best thing and ogled all the new merchandise online at SirStevesGuide.com instead. Theres some cool stuff. The geek in me wants the electronic taking Yoda with moving eyes and mouth that says over 500 phrases.
Today, my cousin Kelsey sent me another giga-whak of funny e-mails (shes great for that) that made me laugh and generally brightened my otherwise lame day.
Heres my favorite from the bunch
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began
to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon,
everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less
NOW -------- Enough of that crap . .
The donkey later came back and bit the shit out of the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected, and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.
MORAL OF TODAY'S STORY:
When you do something wrong and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.
Other than that, my weekend was boring and uneventful, but what the hell, Ill take them as they come.
