I totally agree with you--I never ever stay depressed for long.
On a related note--I also don't hold grudges. I don't see how people can stay angry at other people for so long (with the exception of really major issues of course).
And I don't see any reason to be preoccupied with death or other morbid things.
I'm kinda halfway between the two. I realize the pointlessness of being bummed all the time, yet I stay in that bummed state most of the time. However, I still get things done.
I didn't go to Comerica. I went once the first year it was open. I will not ever go back. It's a mall that just happens to have a baseball diamond in the middle. I fucking hate that place. I miss Tiger Stadium.
Certainly for me being an optimist is an aquired trait. Getting depressed sometimes feels really physical to me and it can get to a point where you just feel way too icky, drained, etc to even start to cope with shit. Perhaps it is a growing resilience, or maybe a new focus on that every-day-is-new-day idea or something, but I am feeling more hearty these days and more able to both understand what people are going through and hence not holding grudges, etc. and keeping myself in good emotional shape.
that was me and a silly april fools joke(about submittin a set....my boy would have a fuckin cow probably.)
chocolate. german chocolate. my grandma couldn't remember what year she was born either but was tellin childhood stories about her dog Pauncy.
it was cute. well aside from the fact the poor woman is next to baldness and doesn't wear teeth anymore.
god love her.
I am trying to stay optimistic about the job hunting... I mostly have retail experience, such as video store clerk, sales assoc' and what not. I did apply at a couple of record stores, not my life time goal, but it works hey. I was also looking at the Canadian job bank and I just noticed a position as a "gun repairer" in the military... but that is something that seems a little sketchy these days... I just want to be able to pay my rent, bottom line, so if worse comes to worse? Someone suggested that if all else fails I could alway get a job telemarketing until a better opportunity presents itself.... we'll see....
i'm sure once the party is posted there will be talk of crash spaces, etc. although, i seem to remember your hubby mentioning wanting to stay at the millenium downtown?
Foward ever I say.
yeah,all these shows. finances are a little bit of a problem.I should go and see something outside of the things that I usually go to.Always say I'm gonna go check out some blues or jazz or some sitar guy.When those guys get cooking on the sitar and the tablas wooooo!!!
i've been battling depression since i was, like, 7. my parents said i was a always like this... sometimes i think it's just a matter of chemistry... because i consider myself pretty optimistic too, but i still get in horrible fits of depression where i can barely get out of bed... and i can rationalize to myself that things are fine but it doesn't matter. for me it's about taking medicine and staying physically active and not getting in a rut, but the minute i stop taking really good care of myself it gets bad. i think it's just something some people are prone to, unfortunately. like high blood pressure and such.
got my tat at lucky monkey in ann arbor... forget the street but it's on the edge of downtown near main street. by a guy named dan ... who is least experience. there's 3 or 4 of them tattooing there... i like that place a lot. i've always gotten tat'ed by suzanne who was the woman to go to in ann arbor and michigan... but she passed. i'm happy i've found a good replacment. go get one!!!
i will try to do bab's this weekend.... not saturday how about friday?
i get down sometimes..it never lasts long though either.
sometimes i feel fickle being like that.
my grandma bein sick a couple weeks back had me majorly down.

Its good to be an optimist.
