Good God I'm 44 and desperately tired even though I've had 2 days off. What's that mean do ya think?I think its time to be clear that I need no more nonsense in my life.
Piss off all of you who wish me ill.
The rest of you...Thanks
Rant and rave is a crap Birthday message.
I'm grateful for all the good stuff.
My daughter, family and friends. I feel lucky but at the same time know I've clawed my way to being where I am.....and that's not anything special.
It's sad to feel that way.
I want to feel more hopeful about the world.
Maybe in 2008.

happy birthday...
Hope abides; therefore I abide.
Countless frustrations have not cowed me.
I am still alive, vibrant with life.
The black cloud will disappear,
The morning sun will appear once again
In all its supernal glory.

What if life only lasted a day,
Do you think we'd appreciate it better?
What if life was like hell,
Do you think we would dream?
About a life like we have now?
What if in life we had everything,
Do you think it would get boring?
Why want another life?
Your life is perfect already
On the phrase, "It is what it is":
"It is what it is" means what it means. Depending on context, it can be a statement of resignation or of defiance, but in neither case does it connote the optimistic good humor of "It's all good." If anything, it expresses the absence of emotion, the abdication of feeling. Although it seems to imply value-neutrality, that misses the point; it's not so much that something is neither good nor bad, but rather that its quality simply isn't relevant, that it's not worth the energy to make a value judgment.
To put it another way — it doesn't matter what you think about it because you can't do anything about it anyway. It was in this spirit that Al Gore invoked the phrase after winning the popular vote and possibly the electoral tally as well: "I strongly disagreed with the Supreme Court decision and the way in which they interpreted and applied the law. But I respect the rule of law, so it is what it is."

So, T, is this resignation or defiance? I would hope the latter.
(To which I am sure you will reply, "it is what it is.")
