I know I've been using a lot of quotes lately.  I ran across one a while back from Dave Grohl, who is the lead singer/founding member of Foo Fighters.  In an interview, he described how the band made it through tough times on the way to releasing their second album.  Here's a snippet of that interview; it's short, but gave me an idea on how to approach my difficulties.  Here's what he said when asked about how he pulled things together:

"In '97, when we were making our second record, everybody was quitting the band; I was going through a divorce and living in [former Scream bandmate] Pete Stahl's back room in a sleeping bag. At night I would sit down and write out all of my problems. "This member's leaving. This member's quitting." You know, charts and pie graphs. Just to single them out and fucking work through them one at a time."

Currently Listening: Appetite for Destruction

I woke up today and felt a lot better.  I guess I've had my first existential crisis of the year.  One of my resolutions this year is to not feel sorry for myself so often like I have in the past.  I've had my bumps in the road so far, but I think I'm doing the best I can with life.  Today will be good, and I have the day off to relax.

Taken from my "2006 Bushisms Calendar," here is today's quote, the best so far:

"I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to come and witness my hanging." - President Georege W. Bush; At the dedication of his portrait; Austin, Texas; January 2002.
