The Time When It Counts The Most

Incessant; the weight has been incessant.

And almost embarrassingly, I have not shouldered up to the occasion. I haven't done anything stupid as of late but I sure feel like I have.

Yet, I fight on because at the end of the day, all I've got to go on is faith.

Sometimes that is enough, but sometimes, I need a little bit more but I don't know where to find that extra boost.

Maybe the key is attitude...or maybe it's polarization of negativity (which is my fancy way of saying positivity)?

I woke up this morning with the intent to get started on my presentation. After recording at least 2 hours of Wii time, I started to get some notes down. Eventually dinner time came about which culminated in a group excursion to Chuckarama--say what you want about buffets but you're wrong...they are the fount of goodness and efficiency. How many times have blood been shed amongst friends and neighbors when the decision concerning where to go eat could not be made? Buffets are the answer in their smorgasbord glory.

The return home featured a run in with Greg which is always all kinds of raised eyebrowed fun.

And here I am now: four stenograph sheets of paper on which notes have been illegibly scrawled in front of me, eyes tired and bloodshot, fingers dancing across the keyboard (step pivot turn turn pivot step NOT turn pivot step step pivot turn!) with furious strikes at the backspace key as the hour at hand renders me unable to spell, and not surprisingly, I am also fighting a need for some kind of chocolate thing (bar or liquid is fine).

But the presentation...it does not leave me be.

It lags along at my heel like a diseased puppy.

Lists

#1 - How hard is it to refill the ice cube tray with water after you've gotten the ice out? Maybe I shouldn't make mention because before, the trays were just left on the counter and hence no ice for no one.

#2 - I am getting excited for Dark Knight. It's like Heath Ledger's Mr. Holland's Opus Opus.

#3 - I have now looked at the GRE book in my bookshelf a total of 5 times.
