32% sad

     So, I have been going over my blogs stats, and I realized a few interesting things about my readership. First and foremost, 77% of my readership is windows, which is interesting considering I'm a mac, but whatever, I am cross platform. What is pretty cool is the fact that 2% of my readership is using Linux.

+If this is you, you win one Internet+

     Sadly, however, is the fact that 32% of my readership is using Internet Explorer...... which makes me a sad panda. If this is you, please seek help.... I really do care, and will be happy to help you through this difficult time in your life. I will help you install Google Chrome, FireFox, or even Opera.


+ surprisingly accurate+

So Just let me know if you need help, just comment below. If you have a favorite, or are very passionate, just comment below, but please no flaming, or trolling.


+Remember, we all share the Internet.... except the trolls. They don't deserve it+


Santorum SweaterVest

     So, due to a friend's comment about a particular idiotic, bigoted, antiscience, republican, religious zelot, I just want to make something clear. To be fair, many others have already made this point, especially JUSTIN JANNISE at uinterview.com , but Rick Santorum does not own the sweatervest. I ACTUALLY OWN THE SWEATERVEST, aka thesweatervest.com, as you are probably aware of, as you are reading it right now. As a result of Mr. Santorum's actions and words, I just want to clarify:


     Rick Santorum: you do not have my endorsement, acknowledgment , or my blessing. 


     People who do, and also rock the sweatervest, 


Ellen DeGeneres, 

Ryan Reynolds, 

Doug, 


Justin Timberlake,
and best of all Betty White!








+Hell, I'll even give it to Simon+


     So, instead I will kindly request that you will instead focus on your own endeavors and namesakes, and kindly stay away from mine. I have worked hard to engrain the sweatervest as part of my persona, and develop it as part of my brand, and I really dont want Santorum all over it. 


+If you somehow dont know of  Santorum's primary meaning, let me help you spreadingsantorum.com/ +

Editing

So, I doubt anyone on here knows this, but for every blog post I post, I tend to spend an exorbitant amount of time planning, improving, and editing. As I result, I tend to not blog due to lack of time and energy, or I write a post, most of the way through, and not finish. This sucks....

+Take this as you will+

And honestly, I really dont need to. I dont have a huge following, and one benefit of that is that I can produce less than quality work. As a result, I am going to follow the advice and model of a friend of mine, who is a much more accomplished blogger, and not worry as much about the editing process. Ill just go with it. 


+sorry, wrong adam sandler movie+

So expect more common posts. Also, if I know you in real life, and you notice that I havent posted in a few days, PLEASE hit me, and tell me to blog some. You know who you are:

Moves Toward Improvement

So, after many months of therapy, and a bit of the good old SSRIs, I have been noticing some differences in my behavior. For so many months, maybe years, I have been having a very difficult time just getting up in the morning. Now I don't mean the normal, need my cup of coffee (although sometimes I had that also).

-Seriously, you can never have too much respect for people who can make latte art-

I mean a total lack of desire to become active in the world around me. Even with things I really enjoyed doing, I would have an incredibly hard time making my way out of bed. Sometimes I would just spend hours lying awake.
-This is the brony way of expressing how it feels-


And all that would go through my head were terrible thoughts.  Sometimes how I'm better off in bed, because that way others wouldn't have to deal with me. Other times, I would berate myself for not being able to do something as simple as getting out of bed. And sometimes my thoughts would go to darker places. But, for the first time, in a long time, I have been consistently able to get out of bed in an appropriate amount of time. More than that, I have been getting tasks that I have been procrastinating for a long time done. I spent several hours cleaning my room (which was in desperate need).

-legitimately, It probably would have been faster to use a pitchfork to clean my room
I went through 2 full trash bags of assorted crap-

 I got some paperwork that I have been putting off done. And I am trying harder to be more consistent with blogging, which my therapist says will be very helpful for me. As a whole, I can really feel my life becoming better, and I hope that I will continue to make improvements. Because for the first time in a long time, I really feel hopeful for myself!

-If you understand this reference..... Will you marry me?-
