Erik's Birthday, or How I Cooled Off and Quit Whining

[gregthecrazy]

If you remember from my last entry, I was in another one of my every-other-week funks. This time I was able to climb my way out of it by going to visit Erik for his birthday. I went up Monday night, seeing as I didn't have class the next day. We had a really fun time doing pretty much nothing. And I realized that I don't need to be doing

"Monday night, it hit me that I've got a plenty awesome life already. It's not perfect, but it's good. And then I thought of the kids in the tsunami countries and felt like a huge, ungrateful asshole "

I'm glad you put that Greg..makes me realize that my life isnt that bad and that other people have it worst. i should be grateful for what i have :) Take care in Orlando!

We all have it better than we THINK we do. I always think (when I'm in terrible pain, which is very often) that I have it bad, but I remember how many people have it worse. I think of those that are homeless or who have undergone tragedy. I think of the fact that I live and Artie died. Sometimes, these things can be upsetting; other times they are a humbling kick in the ass
