1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.
Of all the things about humanity in the world, there is one thing that we can all agree upon: mucus is disgusting. As a matter of fact, beyond the old addage that the only thing we can be certain of is Death and Taxes, I’m sure that Mucus should replace Taxes. Death and Mucus — it’ll happen to everyone.
That said, why is that as soon as someone gets a severe case of Mucus Unendus, they immediately say, “You made me sick!” when it clearly could’ve been the ass at the checkout the other day who wouldn’t cover his mouth as he hacked up a lung?
2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.
U-Haul Truck: $19.99. Insurance: $14.99. The look on your face when your final bill will come out to an average of $80: Priceless.
3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.
Should I be unhappy that I can’t think of anything that I’m unhappy about?
No?
Well, there is one thing … which is a nagging question … “Dammit, why does she have to live so far away?”
4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.
Nick Kougioulis did a helluva good job on this video, combining two of my favorite things:
5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.
I moved last weekend — finally finishing up the other side on Tuesday morning. Through the week, I helped a friend move. This past weekend, I helped more friends move. Today, I helped another friend unload a truck.
Somehow, I can exert myself like that, and not wake up sore and destroyed the next day. I guess that means I’m in good shape.
6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.
Today’s my birthday … I wish the woman in #3 would come for a visit.
Now it’s your turn.

Happy Birthday Mark! How old does that make you now? (You don’t have to answer that)

Happy birthday. May you have a mucus free year (and really, isn’t that the best gift you could get? Well, that and Jessica Simpson?)

I’ve been sending those telepathic messages to the woman in #3 for you, so if she tells you she’s coming for a visit.. I want to take credit for it.
I know you already got my birthday message, but hey.. Happy Birthday again!
Now you owe me two.

Thanks, everyone.
And, fracas, yeah, the telepathic messages are good. I need to start with the subliminal campaign next.
I think I’ll do it via phone message … “Hey (sexy), you (sexy) should come (sexy) over for a while (sexy, c’mon, you know you wanna).”
On second though, I think that might make her run off with a wannabe-mobster named Vic or something … *shrug*
