Man Smashes Mercedes into Cell Phone Office
A man upset with his cellphone provider's inability to get his new phone to work out vented his rage by driving his friend's Mercedes S500 into the company's office doors.
YES!!!
Way to battle, although, not so much of a way to cultivate... Points for awesomeness, though. We need some kind of dubious award for this kind of stuff. It's great, but maybe not the best way to express yourself. I'll admit, however, that my day-dreams usually run along these routes.

Pain and Suffering

Read this somewhere the other day, can't remember just now... I like it.
"Pain is inevitable;
Suffering is optional"
I think I'm remembering it wrong, but you get the idea. If I find the actual quote and author even, I'll post again.
This one means a lot to me, because - those who know me will attest - I went through a lot of physical pain in my late teenage years with all the problems and surgeries I had on my knee and ankle. For me it's a good reminder about having a good attitude, which I always seem to forget.

If you've had the unfortunate opportunity to speak with me about my job in the last four months, you will have heard me speak coherently for about three minutes before bursting into fits of swearing and frothing at the mouth... To those of you who had to endure that, I apologize.
It's still "too soon to call" officially, but as of now, about 8:20 am, we have squished the few glaring bugs. Basically, our massive, swell foop of a change to the system everyone at work uses everyday seems to have worked.
Holy Balls! We did it! Wow. It feels surreal...
Now we have a couple of weeks to make a few interface changes and then this project is done.

We are warriors.
Battle. Fight. Contend. Wrestle. Struggle. Oppose. Resist.

We have an enemy. We are not caught in the crossfire, we are being fired upon ourselves.
Be without fear in the face of your enemies
Be brave and upright that God may love thee
Speak the truth even if it leads to your death
Safeguard the helpless
That is your oath, and [the slap in the face] is so you remember it
