I Wake Up Each Day With 100% Renewed Expectation and Confidence That

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

the media and newspapers were going to do a complete 180 overnight and all of a sudden report on things exactly as I want them to. I wake up fully expecting that the talking heads on cable news will proclaim the err of their ways and become my personal heroes by speaking exactly about everything I want them to.

I also wake up each day 100% thinking that this time there will be a sack filled with a million dollars under my pillow.

I wake up each day 100% convinced that when I turn the flame on the stove on it will form icicles.

I wake up each day 100% expecting that this time when I jump off the stairs I will actually be able to fly.

I wake up each day totally thinking that though it is January I will be able to go outside shirtless in north jersey and lay out in the sun to get a tan.

I wake up each day just KNOWING that today is the day that every where I go to buy stuff they will say "no, don't pay us, it is free today"

I wake up each day expecting fairies, pixies and leprechauns to be dancing and flying around my bed.


Oh, wait, no I don't. I don't wake up with any of these expectations. If I did, I'd probably be deemed an utter fool.

8. Ahhh

I went to a boarding school in Morris County in Mendham. It is now a rehab center. The convent is still there, though.

I have classmates from Denville.

My father-in-law is still in Somerville.

3. Actually, wait around for a little bit...

and with the effects of global warming, you probably WILL be able to lay outside shirtless in New Jersey in January.

That's why I still live in Houston.

Dammit.

Tallahassee. The best of Florida. No palm trees. No sand. Just gentle weather (except in August!)

10. Ha Ha

I was going to add that you wake up each day and by the time you have finished your coffee you are ready to take a little arsenic. I am an optimist and optimism is a good thing but not for the faint of heart these days, true?
