i am a pessimist

I am a pessimist. For the record, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It's just how I am wired.

I'm also a worrier. When I get too much stress, I get sick to my stomach. For some reason, 3rd grade must have been particularly rough, because I drank Pepto Bismal before bed most nights. My son's in 3rd grade now, and I don't think he has a worry in the world. I'm glad he didn't inherit that part of my personality. My poor daughter did.

I try not to complain too much, but sometimes I do. The reason I am going into all of this is because as I sat down to write this, I couldn't come up with anything positive to blog. Sure the Lions are 2-0 and the Wolverines are going to upset Penn State this weekend, but I usually don't have much to say about the good things. Besides, since I am a pessimist, for everything good, and I can only think of the bad.

For example, the highlight of next week is the release of Halo 3. How could that possibly be a bad thing? Well, my TV is a week away from being repaired, so everyone will be experts at it by the time I get to play. See what I mean? It's rough to be me.

So, the worst thing is that when I sat down to write this, I had something positive in mind, but it went downhill before anything was typed. Sorry. I guess it's better than me rambling on about the Lions. By the way, the Lions will be 3-0 when they play the Redskins next week. I'll find a way to be unhappy about that, too.
