It's Like the Episode of Oprah That Everyone Wants to Go On. Only No One Gets Prizes.

Today is crappy. The weather sucks. I don't mind the rain or the cold, but I hate them together. It's depressing. So here are some pictures of things that I like. You know, to make me feel better.

1.) The pony from The Science of Sleep.

Isn't he majestic? Look, they're riding him and they are so happy.

2.) Skull and cross bones.

This particular Skull and Cross bones has a fun, sort of whimsical air about it. Cute, right?

3.) Swedish Fish.

I prefer the kind with just the Red, but this is a nice picture. Swedish Fish are delicious and they remind me of some good times and good people.

4.) Grant Edward Whitman.

He's like my little brother. He tells bad stories that I really like to listen to. He doesn't make sense to me sometimes, but it makes sense when he doesn't make sense.

5.) Argyle Socks.

I've worn them since I was little and they've never let me down. I always ask for more argyle socks every Christmas. Come winter, I rarely wear any socks but argyle ones.

6.) Ginkgo Trees in Autumn.

They are super yellow and super bright. It sticks out against the drab that is sometimes autumn and it's nice.

7.) Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm.

It's my favorite chap stick in the history of chap stick. The label says it all: "Soothing, Cooling, Refreshing." And it smells good too. Once my best buddy Matt accidentally bought the Lifeguard's Choice variety of Burt's Bees. It turns your lips white unless you rub it in. Like this:

I look really, really handsome in that photograph.

Man. Today feels a lot better.
