So I'm off from work today because I'm sick. I was at work yesterday and everyone has infants or is pregnant and why should I make them sick? So here I am, watching Maury. I'm just waiting for Judge Alex.
I was just searching the internet yesterday and found an AWESOME website. Have you ever heard of F My Life? So it's when you have awful things happen in your life and you submit it to the website. Here's an example.
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I didn't call her in the last few days. I tried to explain to her that I was out at my grandfather's house in a remote place with no cell service to stand by him on his death bed. She thought I was making excuses and called me a lying bastard. FML
BUT I found a GREAT website called Gives Me Hope. It's pretty much the same thing, but it's even better. I found some of my favorites and I wanted to share them.
The other day, I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things. While walking through the parking lot, I noticed a man stand on his shopping cart, and give a few good pushes before jumping on. He smiled and laughed the entire way, loving life. He was about 50 and wearing a business suit. GMH.
When I was a little kid, I was sitting on one of the rocking rides waiting for my mom to finish shopping. A man walking by saw me, put a quarter in, and then walked out of the store. I still haven't forgotten that day. GMH.
Today in the Walmart parking lot I saw an older couple, not exactly what you would call fit, leaving the store. The woman was carrying a bag and the man leaned over and took it from her. Thats when I saw him whisper something in her ear. Suddenly she broke into a run, as did he. She won the race to the truck. Her prize was a kiss. GMH.
Today, I stopped at a local used book store that is located on a pretty bad street in my neighborhood. Bringing my books to the front of the store, I met the owner, a quadriplegic man who asked me to put the money for the purchase into his front pocket. He has ran the store for 3 years and never once been robbed. GMH.
I think it's a really great website. I love all the ones about true love and such. Here's the website, if you'd like to see it.
