That's what the bumper sticker said as I drove past an old teal green chevy cavalier with an Alberta license plate.
"Great," I thought, "another old lady mad at the world."
When I was directly beside the vehicle I looked over to confirm my suspicion. I could not have been more wrong. Sitting in the driver's seat of the small car was a young, pretty girl with blonde hair back in a loose pony tail, mouthing words to a song that must have been playing on her radio. She beamed with happiness.
A warm feeling came over me, and as I drove past and saw the little green car disappear in my rear view mirror I thought, "Mean people do suck. Why isn't everyone that happy?" I turned the radio up in my car just a little bit louder and smiled as I began singing along with "Carried Away" by Chad Brownlee -- a song that I have included here for your listening pleasure. Even if you aren't happy - look it. It will make those around you happier and infinitely more comfortable with your company. Nobody likes a gloomy person. Act happy and you will become happy. Just smile for a few seconds and see how much better you feel!
Pass it along and maybe,
just for one day,
we could all get a little
carried away

Bros
Easy.
I couldn't stop myself from cracking a smile and actually shaking my head today as I left a subway restaurant with my tasty (although somewhat disappointing) lunch. As I exited the automatic doors I saw two young guys crossing the street ahead of me to enter the Home Depot home improvement store.
Normally -- not a big deal. Two dudes walking into a home improvement store to buy some hardware to do some man things. But these were not two ordinary dudes. Oh no. They were fresh, yo.
Both of them were wearing lax pinnies that were just one size too small, one had a turned back flat-brim baseball cap, and both had on RayBan shades. What a couple of bros. I was half expecting some sort of trashy dubstep club music to start playing as they crossed my path.
I can't believe that they can actually use a power tool, let alone pick one out at a Home Depot.
Then again, maybe they were just going to the garden center :)

Welcome
Hey everyone! Welcome to my new blog.
I too have given in to the idea that Google is going to take over the world, and when it does, I want to be there with the 'in' crowd. I am transferring my blog over from wordpress to this site.
I hope you all like the new layout. I picked it quickly, but it was clean, calm, and happy. The way it should be. I seem to always fall into the habit of saying that I'm going to start posting more, and soon I swear I will start posting more. I want to share my thoughts, my ideas, and some of the things that make me smile with all of you.
Whether you are a returning veteran of mine or a fresh noob to my small part of the blogosphere, welcome! I hope we can get to know each other a little better.
