Piss or Get Off the Pot

This has become my motto of late. Whining, bitching, gripping, complaining...all these things are counterproductive to a good life. Venting is the only "complaining" thats worth it. "Whats the difference" you ask. Well let me tell you...

Vent:
a means of exit or escape; an outlet, as from confinement.
expression; utterance; release: to give vent to one's emotions.
to give free play or expression to (an emotion, passion, etc.): to vent rage.
to give public utterance to: to vent one's opinions.

Complain:
to express dissatisfaction, pain, uneasiness, censure, resentment, or grief; find fault: He complained constantly about the noise in the corridor.
to tell of one's pains, ailments, etc.: to complain of a backache.
to make a formal accusation: If you think you've been swindled, complain to the police.

So....Venting is the release. As in let it go and then go do something about it. Complaining is to express...which we all know just leads to more. Venting is ok. Venting you spew forth and then its over. Complaining/whining is NOT.

So..Piss or get off the pot, I say. Vent...vent to me ALL you want. but when the time comes and I hear the same vent again, its become complaining. Complaining is stressful and I have enough stress in my life. Ask for advice, I'll happily give it. If you just want to vent, I'll listen. These are all things I am good at. No more complaints....no more added stress...I'm on a stress diet.

I like that. A stress diet. I get enough in my day to day life that I'm cutting it out elsewhere. Some may think that makes me a bad friend. Bah...then go find a new one! The ones who get it...the ones who know. They'll stick by me and I'll do the same for them.

Stress diet...only venting from here on out!
you have been warned.

Lor' luv a duck, my Twist's and Rob Roy's?

Yes....that was English. I was just Cockney Rhyming English. Yes...it does still exist.

As most of you know, I play a lot of RPGs. I have been getting back into Vampire the Masquerade of late. I play a Nosferatu that is originally from the UK and speaks mainly in Cockney Rhyming English. As you can probably guess, I do not even attempt this in a table top live setting. Not only would I have to internalize the language, but then I would have to watch about 17 hours of My Fair Lady to pick up the accent.

No.

This is best done in bulliton board settings where I can use my new-found, handy-dandy dictonary and come off sounding awesome.

So what did I say up there? I said what is up my Girl's and Boy's. Twist is short for twist and twirl which rhymes with girl. Boy rhymes with Rob Roy. There ya have it! no need to get yourself in a bit-o' barney or anything.

Tom Hanks to all my plates!

Therapy and Good Weeks

Yeah...I said the T word. No, boys...not THAT T word. You know thats what you were thinking when you gave me that look. Don't try to tell me otherwise!

Therapy. I said it...Therapy! Yes, I'm going to pay someone (or my insurance company is) to listen to me talk. "But impossible, why should you pay someone when you have ALL these wonderful friends?" Yes, yes, I know I have wonderful friends. They also have wonderful lives and...biased opinions. I think it best to go talk to someone who is unbiased and paid to listen to me. Lets hope it helps *wink*.

Good weeks. Therapy or not, this has been a really good week. Would of been BETTER if I got to Rockband last night, but last night went well anyway. Even with a snow day, its been a good week. The boys are more behaved and life is just going better. I can't really nail down one MAJOR reason, but I figure why look a gift horse in the mouth? I don't like counting teeth anyway. AND it's rude!

So yeah...only one easy boss to go in Naxx tonight and were to the hard one. Time to chew some glass...but even that can be fun at times. Plus I got lots of upgrades tuesday..which is always good. I'm a happy Pally! Mally the happy Pally...has a nice ring to it. *grins*

So there ya have it. Thats my update...not all that and a few bags of chips, but its my life. Hope its not all that boring for my 2 readers ;)
