According to this
article, if I want to generate more income, I need to lose weight.
On the surface, it doesn't make sense. But researchers from The Ohio State University insist there is a definite association between weight loss and increased wealth, especially for white women.
[...]
The data in this study can't tell us whether a person's wealth affects obesity, or whether obesity affects wealth, but the association is definitely there...
[...]
White women who dropped their body mass index score (BMI) by 10 points saw a wealth increase of $11,880.
Interesting, huh? I wonder if it is because thinner people have more confidence in their ability to get more money, if society pays more for thinner workers or a combination of both. So, an interesting experiment to try, huh? I want more money, let's see if losing weight helps.

I have tons of little pieces of paper all over with names of fonts I want to eventually purchase. I'm going to start posting them in this entry for future reference.

Man, I had just typed up this long, insightful post and went to another site in another tab to get a link I wanted to post that I found this morning and the damned site locked up my browser. Buh bye loooong, insightful post. I so don't feel like writing all of that again right now. Maybe when I get home. *hrmph*
I just about jacked my keyboard at work when I knocked over my water bottle. Fortunately, the water spilled in
front of it and I only got a few drops on the spacebar. Whew. Not that I'm doing any work today anyway. I have to beat the art director about the head to give me work to do and I'm tired of it. I've gotten such a bad attitude here. That's what my post was about. Maybe it's a good thing that the browser crashed. Maybe all I really needed to do was get my anger and frustration out and I did and there is no record of it. Hmmmm.
Anyway, I've been doing
The Artist's Way for the last week. I started doing it a while back and never made of habit of it. I think I gave up after a week. This time I'm determined to see the process through. I've got a major creative block and some self-confidence issues. I do some serious mental self-sabotaging and I need to get to the root causes and fix it. One of the main excercises in the program is a thing called morning pages. Every morning you write three whole stream-of-consciousness pages of all the crap floating around in your head, no matter what it is. That's probably why I haven't had much to say here. Once it's on paper, why bother typing it again?
I can't remember how I got there, but I was reading this site called
The Lazy Way to Success and I read this quote:
It is extremely rare to achieve financial success as an employee.
Man, how true that is. I don't care if I ever become rich, but I'm tired of being an employee. I hate it. I'm tired of my income being dictated by the work ethics of other people.

Just found this cute poem while font-searching:
ODE TO SPELL CHECKERS
Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marks four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My checker tolled me sew.
