All is quiet on New Years Day

Happy 1.1.11, eleven eleven just stuck. Here's a little U2 to celebrate the times. Only fitting, no?

So, apparently I'm being negative, according to my parents. Guess I should work on that. Honestly, I don't understand what's all that wrong with being negative, it's better than lying. For example, today I was at the mall with my mother and she asked me if a shirt she picked up was cute. I simply stated "Not really, the design on the front is too much." I don't understand how that is negative to tell you the truth, it's being realistic.

I'm a pessimist, that much I can admit. I figure if I expect most things to go awry, then I will be pleasantly surprised when everything goes off without a hitch. Being a pessimist isn't all that bad actually. I can still enjoy the simple things in life, I can still feel happy, but I'm not about to overzelously think everything is going to be happy-happy-rainbows-and-puppies. That is completely unrealistic, I've experienced it enough to quit believing that it'll happen.

But, maybe I am being negative. Who knows.
I'll throw that on the resolutions list.
