The Optimist in Me

I tend to be optimistic.  My pessimism is usually reserved to what I think will happen to the United States if I don’t become elected President this November.  But I am optimistic that this will be the last Presidents’ Day I will be celebrating as not the President until 2017 or 2021.

My optimism is not limited to my future.  I am optimistic about other things:

• The Washington sports teams (Capitals, Nationals, and Redskins) will all win championships in the same year soon.
• We will still be around on December 22.
• The Cinemafia will be defeated and entertainment will become affordable again.
• The “Ahmnodt in Sunglasses” look will be more popular than the Rick Santorum “sweater vest” look – even on winter nights.

There is a reason for my optimistic spirit.  It is because I have a history of knowing good things are going to happen.  Below are some examples:

• Vanna White getting a star on the “Walk-of-Fame”.
• “Friends” getting canceled.  (I never did like that show.)
• I would make millions thousands hundreds a couple dollars running my own business.
• I would find a diet I could stick to that would help me lose weight.  I drench my chocolate in hot sauce, which has all but abolished my cravings for chocolate and for hot sauce.

I will remain optimistic as long as good things happen.  Ideally, I would like to make the good things happen myself, but sometimes I have to rely on karma, faith, or good luck.
