Hello all and Happy Birthday Eve!

Yup, tomorrow is my 41st birthday and here is what I want from all of you:

Tell me about something that sucks in your life

AND THEN

Tell me about something that you are thankful for that totally over-rides the suckiness of the previous thing.

Example:

Sucky thing: I am so lonely that when the dorky guy at work who wears reeeeally tight white jeans and dark socks with sneakers winked at me, it made me blush and I was secretly happy.

Thankful thing: Everyday I thank God that I have my health and that my son is healthy and smart and funny and thoughtful and (I could go on and on about him, but I won't)...

Ok, now YOUR turns!

Dude, if she ain't ready for a while, give me a call! I LIKE the chain mail and brown leather look.....

Seriously, good luck with your new love.

LOTV

Suck-a-liscious: Life in general with a boatload of tests that my entire college career depends on, along with one last semester this spring full of commuting and fun 400 level courses, my girlfriend won't talk to me at all and has slammed the door on my face (literally), and my college has given me a ticket for parking on a public street when there is no other parking available.

Awesome: Its almost the weekend?

LOTV: Ima-who-whata-whoichy-whoda-whazza--huh?

Your 41st birthday?

Why, my dear, you are still a child.

Why, when YOU were born, I was... uh. Well, three years old. I had mastered the walking thing by that time, of course, and The Real Mom always praised me on my vocabulary, so I believe that I had the talking thing down too. Walking and talking. What more could a young fellow need?

Well, aside from a G.I. Joe with Kung Fu Action Grip, but that's another story. Or an entire Major Matt Mason space complex. YES!

Uh, what was the question?

Oh, yeah...

Sucky: Huh, that's nothing! I am so lonely that when the same dorky guy winks at ME, I start wondering, "Hmmm... maybe I should try going gay just this once..."

Uh. Okay, just joking.

Sucky: It has been a long, long time since my soul sang.

Wonderful: I have FRIENDS. Also, I love my brother and his wife and their magical little girls. Yes, they are made of magic. I have actually seen them sparkle in low lighting conditions.

Awww... Keep your dorky guy. I really was only kidding.

HOWEVER...

* The Real Me high-fives Mal's green hand with his own green hand. *

Cool. Now we got a club.

"We're all mean...
Hands of green!"

Uh. Okay, I'll work on the theme song.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALICIOUS

Suck-A-Mondo'ism : Finding out your best friend for 20 years has participated in a malicious confidence game that involved a GREAT film contact and possible time to pitch a story - but it was all for a few hundred dollars.

UnSuck Mode : Not falling for said plan and telling the EX-friend EXACTLY what was on your mind and where he should place it ...

Ooh. I like this question. I think sometimes we focus just on the suckiness and not on the good.

Sucky - My third block class is driving me crazy. I have taught them very little of what they'll need on the End-Of-Course test because they are so unbelievably immature that I can't get them to shut up long enough te read a play. I leave that class every day with a headache.

Good - I'm moving to California to try my hand at my dream job in June. That's really exciting and scary. And my awesome boyfriend is moving with me.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Suckalicious: My ex wife is the devil and does all she can to make my life a living special hell especially in concerns of my son.

Awesome: my wonderful wife Autumn who stands by me through it all w/ a loving smile and her hand in mine to keep me steady.

STILLSHINY

The Happiest Birthday wishes to you.

SUCKS: The fact that my wife & I still haven't had any kids yet, 4 years trying.

Greatest rhing in life: The fact that I've had 7 years with this wonderful woman, and even if we don't become parents we have a marriage & relationship that makes others jealous. That and Firefly!

happy birthday. treat yourself to something nice.

for me-

bad: realizing that i have wasted so much of my time being upset about things that i have no control over

good: finding that there really is a dawn after the night in life. that having the willingness (or stubborness

) to continue to work for what you believe in will lead to reward, whether it is real or a sense of satisfaction within yourself.

This is a nice thread... and for one that is 50% about things that suck too.

bad: my evil bosses and my not-so-fun appraisal yesterday where me telling them that their filing system wasn't so much a system as a collection of random boxes and bits of paper didn't go down so well

good: two more hours to go before the weekend, where I will have two good films to see and one more DVdisc of Firefly with someone who is rapidly being converted!

happy b'day

Happy B-Day Malicious!

Sucky: Still un-published and un-employed.

Not so Sucky: Friday is animé night.

Yeah it's lame, but it's what I got.

Keep the Shiny side up

Well Happy Birthday. Only nine more and you can join AARP. How's that for sucky?

As for me:

Sucks: Congress cut my agency's appropriation by $400 million, while passing a ton of legislation we have to implement next year.

Doesn't Suck: I'm retiring Dec. 31 and don't have to deal with it. Ha, ha, ha! Mine is an evil laugh!

This is a Firefly forum, so I might as well add this one...

Sucks: The greatest television show ever was mismanaged by the worst network and was canned after just 13 episodes.

Good: The fans have formed an amazing community and stood behind the show, and in a mere 6 months, get to experience a Big Damn Movie.

Happy Birthday.

Having to go to work - well my work at any rate, complete and utter chaos.

Shiny - coming home from work to find out that my daughter has decided to take up a second musical instrument at school, not satisfied with learning to play the guitar she, in her infinate wisdom, has decided to take up the BAGPIPES!

Happy belated B-day!

Suck: Reading the news every day and realizing very little of it is good news.

Good: That I'm blessed with a beautiful wife and will soon be an uncle for the 4th time. That I can see a child's smile and know that at least for a short time..all is well in their world.

Who said ya need to grow up, when ya have all these little kids running around, keeping you young?
