And we have National Optimist Day and National Tater Tot Day!

I am a natural Optimist usually, but politics these days has made me a cynic and really depressed and feeling hopeless that things will ever get better again. at times. I LOVE tater Tots, just awesome, if bad for you.

Nothing pisses me off more than optimists. Even if it's an optimist giving out free hugs or flowers or other claptrap like that. Give me a pessimist any day. Someone with a forlorn look on their face, a trenchcoat, and a mangy old fedora to keep the everpresent rain off his trenchcoat. I get along a lot better with Eyeore than I ever would with Tigger.

Doom despair and agony on me!
Deep dark depression, incessant misery
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all,
Doom despair and agony on me.

Hey! That was always one of my favorite songs!
