Anyway… it was about then that I looked up and saw this spectacular sunset. Tweaked slightly in Adobe Lightroom to give it a bit more bang!

I need to make so many changes and right now, if I can survive this… I can survive anything. I will overcome, I will succeed and I will never make this mistake again. Sometimes life’s lessons are very very expensive, I’ll never forget this one. It’s times like this that really remind me what’s most important to me. It’s a fact that you sometimes overlook the simple things and that life becomes a bit too “routine” if you let it. Two things I did today… I wrote out my rules/goals for life and posted them on my wall next to my computer (where I’m always sitting), sort of a constant reminder. I also framed and placed on my desk a group of pictures of my most valuable possession, obsession… my everything. ;)

Not that I need a reminder, because I wake up next to her every morning. Just something about having pictures of her on my desk that seems to cheer the whole place up. A welcome addition to my somewhat boring desk! =)

Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.

I’ll be the guy filming of course.

1/ Restraint: Don’t cry/argue/scream-in-his-face in public.

Also, there is nothing more attractive than a woman who is secure/mature therefore restrained enough not to go through a guy’s porno collection on his laptop. Because this usually ends up with her crying and him feeling confused because he feels more than one emotion at once (angry - guilty - angry -angry - guilty - angry-huh?- WTF?).

“If you loved me, why would you want to look at this?? Aren’t I enough for you??” <<<< this is what he doesn’t need to hear. Pretty much ever.

2/ Ambition: No one likes a gold digger. Only rich ugly old men who hate their children and who are on a misison to spunk as much money as possible before they croak ‘like’ gold diggers. Everyone else - Gold diggers just remind them of how little they have.

But don’t be too ambitious because that usually means you are a Class A Bitch.

3/ Intelligence: But don’t be too intelligent because that usually means you are a Class A Bitch. Or an intellectual dyke/feminist who is poised to declare war on masculinity at any given opportunity.

4/ Loyalty: Not just to your BF, but you need to show some loyalty to your fellow females. Girls who say “Most of my friends are male because girls are such bitches” are usually - guess what? - bitches!! Contrary to it’s intended effect, it doesn’t make you seem like a rare and desirable creature to say such things, it just makes you appear to be a girl who hates life… and while it may work during High School, boys are suspicious of this kind of declaration any time after 18.

5/ Eyebrows: Have some. They make your face work better.

6/ PMT/PMS/Hormones: 3 words. “Not”. “Their”. “Problem”.

(Ps. Also, sort of off subject but please can you not use periods as an excuse to metamorphose into a monster at the work place? Please? It reflects badly on those of us who actually want to attempt at having a career)

7/ Confidence: keep insecurities about your appearances to yourself. For some reason, boys get very annoyed by female anxieties with regards to weight and general appreance.

Why this is, will always be a mystery but one theory is that all men possess a Mirror of Erised, so they only ever see in the reflection their ideal face and body. So therefore they don’t understand what is is like to see flaws.

(but don’t be toooo confident because that usually means you’re a Class A Bitch)

8/ Have a sense of humour!: but don’t out-funny him. This usually relegates you to his ‘Female Best Friend’ category.

By having a ’sense of humour’, it generally means laughing at all his jokes and finding them genuinely funny.

9/ The most important thing you can ever know: The bed is for 2 activities ONLY. EVER: Sleep and sex.

Do not try to resolve an argument when in bed. No matter how much you huff and tut and fidget and toss and turn in accusatory irritation, your BF will win. His need for sleep will ALWAYS be mightier and greater than your need to get him to say ‘Sorry’ in a meaningful manner. And there is nothing feminism can do about this.

10/ Have morals: but dress like you don’t have any.

Now for the “REAL” news…

AP 09.09.2007 - UNION CITY, Ga. - A McDonald’s employee spent a night in jail and is facing criminal charges because a police officer’s burger was too salty, so salty that he says it made him sick.

Kendra Bull was arrested Friday, charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and freed on $1,000 bail.

Bull, 20, said she accidentally spilled salt on hamburger meat and told her supervisor and a co-worker, who “tried to thump the salt off.”

On her break, she ate a burger made with the salty meat. “It didn’t make me sick,” Bull told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

But then Police Officer Wendell Adams got a burger made with the oversalted meat, and he returned a short time later and told the manager it made him sick.

Bull admitted spilling salt on the meat, and Adams took her outside and questioned her, she said.

“If it was too salty, why did (Adams) not take one bite and throw it away?” said Bull, who has worked at the restaurant for five months. She said she didn’t know a police officer got one of the salty burgers because she couldn’t see the drive-through window from her work area.

Police said samples of the burger were sent to the state crime lab for tests.

City public information officer George Louth said Bull was charged because she served the burger “without regards to the well-being of anyone who might consume it.”

Any questions?

I didn’t think so.
