so my mother got me a a desktop calendar for work this past christmas. the theme is 'don't sweat the small stuff', by richard carson. he's a cool guy, he wrote a book called 'taming your gremlin' which is really good. but this calender is something that does not gel with my super-hip, and comically bitter mindset. for example entries like:

"smile at children more often! you'd be surprised how much they understand, and can in turn make you feel like a child again."

w.t.f.? yeah, i'll smile at children....the next thing i know i'm in a paddy-wagon getting the snot beaten out of me by the boston PD.
So I had almost lost faith in the calendar, until yesterday, who's entry seemed somewhat interesting:

"Sometimes, when you're feeling a bit overwhelmed or burdened by your responsibilities, imagine what it will be like when you no longer have those supposed burdens to complain about."

hmmm.....did carson go of the deep end on March 20th, and is quietly suggesting murder-suicide?
