Day 11

11 Days! I, like Jim, hope I can keep this up forever! We'll see.

So, those of you that know me know that I am an optimist. I always try to look for the good in almost every situation. Having a positive outlook in life can help you cope with life's hardships, plus, it can help with indigestion. (That's totally just a guess).

So, that leads me to today's awesomosity: Silence. Specifically silence in the car while you are driving. Here are a few of the good things I can think of regarding driving in silence:

• You can listen to how your car sounds
• You can focus on the day ahead
• You can pray
• You don't have to worry about finding a good song
• No pesky commercials
• You won't look like a fool jamming out to a great song
• You won't be screaming you favorite song with the windows down for everyone to hear
• I am sure there are way more benefits

So, I guess I should let you know why all the talk about being optimistic and silence in the car. When I walked out to my car this morning, here is what I saw:


That's right, someone stole my stereo in the wee hours of the morning last night. Dangit. I guess I was a little upset, but there are so many upsides. Many of which I just mentioned. Others include:

• Now I don't have to unlock the door from the outside for any passengers I may have (because I can't).
  
• I have also learned that I should take my faceplate off when I get home, not just in Soulard.
  
• Now I don't have to worry about my car being broken into to steal my car stereo.
  
• They didn't break the window.
  
• Now I have something to spend all that money I've been saving up on.
• They didn't take my iPod (I wouldn't either, it has a busted screen)
• They didn't take my bluetooth headset.
  

All kidding aside, it kinda sucks to have your car broken into, but as you can see there are a ton of positives to get out of this.

So, here is today's picture, taken in front of the Green Monster:
