I believe...
...that my students are some of the greatest kids on earth. Sure, some of them drive me absolutely nuts on any given day, but when it comes right down to it-I love 'em like they're my own and I'd do just about anything for them.
...that it's OK to watch The Daily Show on Comedy Central (or CNN International) or The Soup on E! instead of watching actual news sometimes. Watching too much actual news about the world today is enough to make a person crawl under the covers and never come back out, and that's not good.
...that Paula Abdul is kind of insane. Also a little scary.
...that the calories in a giant margarita don't count if you had a totally crappy couple of days.
...that, as Douglas Adams once said, "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I ended up where I needed to be."
...that Dragostea Din Tei, the weird foreign techno song that the chicken breakdances to in the Chicken Little movie trailers, is probably the best song ever for dancing around like a total moron when no one's watching. It is impossible to be unhappy while listening to this song. One can't help grinning like a fool.
...that it really needs to quit raining, already. It started raining at about 10 a.m. yesterday and hasn't stopped for more than about 45 minutes at a time since. It's making our cat mad. He stood in the entryway (which echos loudly) and yelled about it all night last night. God, Beans does not approve of your current weather choices.
...that I really need to try to be a kinder person, even when frustrated to the point of wanting to tear my hair out. It’s just that sarcasm is so helpful sometimes!
...that Scrubs is possibly the funniest sitcom ever. I admit-I may even like it more than Friends. *gasp!*
...that the show title Everybody Loves Raymond was not accurate. It should have been Perhaps Most People Love Raymond; Erin, However, Merely Tolerates Him.
...that I should have gone into selling weird crap on eBay if I wanted to make a lot of money. Last weekend we saw a piece on Leno (we get him twice per weekend on MSNBC) where he talked about insane things that sold on eBay. Some examples: one unwanted Brussels sprout left over from Christmas dinner-sold for about $2,480 (I kid you not); rock that may have been used by David to kill Goliath (found in Arkansas, logically)-sold for about $300. Kristin also emailed me about a guy she heard on the radio talking about how he was selling a pair of jeans Jesus (as in Christ, of course) borrowed from him on eBay. I have a soggy cat treat that Beans licked for a while before spitting out and swatting under the couch...bidding starts at $45. Do I hear $50?
...that the internet is a fantastically strange place. Yesterday I found (don't ask how, it's a long story) a site just for pictures of pets with their heads in cones. Hysterical.
...that I blog way too much about random crap no one probably cares about except for me (for example, this post) but nobody is forced to read it and hey- remember pets in cones?! Jesus pants?! This, by far, is not the most pointless website out there.

Ok, I was going to yell at you for ranking Friends below any other TV show in terms of general greatness, but then you mentioned Jesus pants and it made me laugh just as much as the first time I heard the guy on the radio. You are forgiven for your obvious error in critical analysis of television sitcoms.

A woman from Seward sold a guitar on e-bay for over $72,000 dollars. She bought it in the 50's for $440 - was going to be a rock star some day! Do you think the Mommy Blue Jay, Daddy Robin pictures I drew when I was 7 have any value? Perhaps I should say I was going to be an artist when I grew up.
