This post was almost cancelled due to an unexpected case of sleep.

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

     Gossip sucks.  Seriously.  Who cares what X did, and who cares what Y has to say about it?  And why does Z feel a need to repeat it, especially if they know Y is nothing but a damn gossip?

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

     Can Offshoring with an Indian company really help your business?
     No… More on that later.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

     I was supposed to move into a house on the 20th.  That didn’t happen, because the previous tenants are pigs.  Thanks to all that, I’ve been busting my ass to get moved at the last minute.
     Sadly, I was really counting on that place.  This put me in a position where I had to find something at the very last minute (Saturday) when I’m supposed to be out my current place today.
     Fortunately, thanks to my friends, I found a solution.

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

     Very often, you never know who your true friends are until they’re tested.  Having been put in a rough spot the last few days, I’m glad to know that some of mine passed with flying colors.
     Thanks, Swanky and Jewel.

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

     Everything being so upside down lately has had me a little in-the-dumps.  But yesterday, after getting the worst part of the moving done, I realized something:  Sure, a lot of things haven’t worked out lately, but at the end of the day, I’m still laughing and trying to making the best of it.
     I must be doing something right.

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

     I’ve peeled away a lot of layers and facades in my life the last couple of months … so much so that right now feels like starting over from scratch.
     There are a great many exciting things in my not-too-distant future.  I wish that every single one of them would come into fruition.

Now it’s your turn.
