DAILY DOSE: "I Would Look Down and See the Earth From Above, but I'd Miss All the Places and People I Love"
In the darkest of times we learn a lot about people and friendships. I learned an awful lot this last few days, and I want to thank, specifically, Nic, Drew, Jeanie, Kris, Marc, Ang, Doug, Sprout, Jess, Lara, Rich, Carolyn, and Adam for all helping us find a way back towards light. Most of you don't even know anything that happened, but you were still there for me, in some way, when I needed all of you most. This ordeal has taught me so much about how amazing all of you can be when the chips are down, and I can never repay that. The storm, as they say, has passed, and though I think that some of us are still sifting our way through the rubble, we'll all slowly find our way back to normalcy.
For those of you who don't know what the hell is going on, believe me, you don't want to. Just know that I wasn't being melodramatic, and I think everything's going to be okay. And I'm very glad, and I thank God for that. It's 12:30 now, but I'm pretty sure the sun's going to come up today, and I'm pretty sure it'll keep coming up, day after day, for a long long time. So long, in fact, that this little episode will be a blip in time, a speckle in all our rearview mirrors soon. When I woke today, I knew everything would be okay. And by the time I go to sleep tonight, I'll smile knowing I was right. It's reassurring to know that right as hope is lost, sometimes .... well, sometimes hope isn't lost.
Some things really are strong enough to survive anything. Having that hope will give me strength to conquer everything. I am greatful to find my strength in you all.
Today's Song of the Day is "I don't want to live on the moon" by Ernie of Sesame Street fame. And yes, I even have it on MP3. This was my favourite song as a child, and I still think it's beautiful. I know I've spoken of running away a lot lately, and was even moments away from driving to California last Thursday, and never returning again. But let's be honest, I love all of you too much to ever go far. The last few days have reminded me of that, reminded how important friendship is. And by proxy, forgiveness. So I don't want to live on the moon.
Your Link of the Day is mighty important/useful. It's www.getfirefox.com Here, you can rid yourself of the terribly terrible Internet Explorer FOREVER and download, for FREE, Mozilla's Firefox web browser. It takes a matter of moments to make the switch, and FireFox will keep all of your Favourite Places and Passwords for you in the switch. Anything you can do with IE, you can do better with FireFox, and it comes with built in search engines for Google, Yahoo, eBay, Dictionary.com, and many others. It also keeps Activex (ie: the INTERNET DEVIL) out, and popups turned off. It's so swell, you'll cry. Make the switch, your computer will thank you for it.
Okay. I've been sappy enough, and since I'm feeling spirited and recovering, and my life will slowly but surely mend and fix itself, I'm going to bed for now, but I'll be back in the morning with some more Geek Week reviews. You guys are the bees' knees. 'Night.
