Eye of the Beholder
Those Dark Circles
I really need to start sleeping more than 4 hours per night, or else I’ll need to hunt down the best eye cream money can buy.
The problem is there are just too few hours in the day. Sleeping is a waste of time. Well, non-essential sleeping is at least. And, by “essential”, I mean the minimum number of hours required to sustain life.

Think of the Children
No, I’m Not Bigfoot
The days are getting longer and the temperature seems to be going in the right direction – it looks like it’s time to start counting down to the pool opening.
Now I just need to decide if I want to buy diet pills online or begin my aggressive exercise routine so I don’t scare any children around the pool with the public unveiling of my “winter body”.

Bad Joke
Depends on Perspective
Is it just me, or does adult acne seem like one of God’s most cruelest jokes on mankind?
We all went through those awkward teenage years battling the acne war. But, at least we all know that it was just a stage we had to go through – then we’d be free and clean (no pun intended).
Then, as an adult, you wake up one day with a bunch of fresh pimples on your face.
Not a funny joke, Big Guy.

Sunshine
It’s That Time!
It feels so great to have the return of brighter days again. I love opening up the blinds in the morning shortly after getting up for work and having the sun greet me as it begins to rise for the day.
This is so much better than getting up in the dark, driving to work in the dark, and then driving back home in the dark at the end of the day.

Germs
Scarier Than Zombies
I know I’m going to jinx myself, but thanks to large quantities of disinfectant, avoiding other humans at all costs, and some luck, this is the first winter in my life when I haven’t caught a cold or even a sniffle.
It’s also one of the benefits of being an introvert – no people, no germs. Well, for the most part. That’s where the “luck” comes in I guess.
Granted, now that I’ve written this, I’ll have H1N1 flu within days.

Shopping
Leave Me Alone
I love the self-checkout lanes at my local grocery store. I wish all stores had these.
It’s so much nicer just running my own purchases across the barcode scanner and bagging them up than to be subjected to the random chit-chat that real human cashiers always subject me to.
I don’t go to the store to socialize. It’s OK to tell me the total amount of my purchase, but even that’s not necessary. I can see, and I’m just putting it on a card anyhow.

Wii Will Survive
Never Give Up
My wii is probably getting pretty confused… Every few months we get bored with the games we have, and the poor little guy gets pushed to the back of the shelf behind the other game systems, only to collect dust and wonder if anyone remembers that it exists.
Then a great new game will be released (actually, we just picked up two of them recently) and it’s suddenly the star of the videogame world again, playing practically nonstop for days.

Indoor Outdoor
Some of Each
I need the warm weather!
It seems that no matter how nice you furnish your indoor recreation and media rooms with the best game tables, home theater, arcade games and bar, the enjoyment just lasts so long before you need to be outside.
Or maybe that’s just me… I mean, I love the cool stuff in there, and it sure beats the cold – but I need some sunshine and spring air really soon.

Comparing Weight Loss Solutions
Too Much Information
OK, forget what I said about researching weight loss solutions… There are way too many choices out there, with a lot of claims and information for each of them.
What would be ideal is a single weight loss pill comparison site, with the features, pros, and cons of each of the leading weight loss pills listed side-by-side.
There are just too many places to look if you want to come up with this information on your own.

Pain
And Suffering
It’s almost Super Bowl time!
While this is my favorite day of the year, it’s also a bit depressing that I won’t be watching any more football until August.
It also reminds me that I need to make sure my term life insurance is paid up to date…
Super Bowl means a Sunday party with some close friends, which always includes a pickup game of football on the front lawn with friends and neighbors. And with each passing year, it seems that this becomes more painful, and recovery takes longer than before.
