the navel times and observer

Why are the positive steps, the one that make us better, more wholesome individuals always so much harder than backsliding?

I've gone through periods where I 'm working out sometimes even 5 days a week for weeks, yes, weeks, on end and yet I'm just as fat as I was before that period began, even fatter.

I don't have a friend in this damn town and I can't seem to find the motivation to forge a friendship.

I can't believe I've been "living" in Lebanon for nine months because while life gets better and worse from week to week or month to month, but overall I'm still complaining about the same things (true things, not as much perceived) as I was two weeks after getting here.

I just saw Talladega Nights, it won't make it into to the permanent collection, but it was much better than the trailers and previews gave it credit.
