Good Session
"..."
"Not really sure what happened. But that was probably the fiercest fight we've ever had. Over something as trivial as the taste of her cooking."
"..."
"Probably due to the fine cooking of my mom when I was young. It's not even a criticism, just a suggestion. And Voila! War. Can you believe it?"
"..."
"Yeah, I know."
"..."
"Bumped into this old friend at the supermarket the other day. Felt like punching the guy in the face."
"..."
"Yeah, the same guy who stole my ex-girlfriend during high school. Really, should I have just punched him?"
"..."
"I know that's twenty years ago. But still, my best friend stealing my girlfriend? How classic is that?"
"..."
"Got a raise last month."
"..."
"Happy? A little bit. Not much, but a raise is a raise, right?"
"..."
"Have been thinking of changing job though. Ten years. Is that too long to stay in the same company?"
"..."
"Yeah, I thought so too."
"..."
"Well, time to go. The wife is expecting me with the groceries three hours ago. As usual, a load off my mind after talking to you. See ya tomorrow!"
"..."

Channel 1
And just as I am about to cross the the line at the junction, the traffic light turns yellow.
Before I could give thanks for making the light and hopefully in time to reach home, a siren sounds and a blue light flashes behind my car.
"Shit!"
I pull over my car.
"License please," the police officer's face is stern.
"But the light was yellow, Officer," I try to sound nonchalant as I reaches for my wallet.
"What's your hurry anyway, Son?"
"Well ... err ..."
"Well?"
"I'm trying to get home to catch Hero on TV, Officer," I sound sheepish.
The officer pauses for a while. He pulls down his sunglasses, looks at me with a straight face and slowly reaches into his pocket.
My hands are trembling slightly when he shoves this badge in my face, "If only you have this, Son," -
The officer's face breaks into a smile. Suddenly music rings from the sky. A disco beats leads to a catchy dancing tune.
"IT'S FREE!!"
I jump slightly out of shock - out of no where a group of colorfully-clad dancers appeared behind the officer and shouted.
They then break into a song and dance routine. My jaw drops.
"Over 6,000 movies - and shows to - WATCH!!"
"Anytime - YOU WANT!!"
As the officer sings expressively ahead of the dancers, my body starts to swing to the beats."Heroes?" - "HEROES!!"
"30 Rock?" - "30 ROCKS!!"
"The Office?" - "THE OFFICE!!"
The officer and the group of dancers singing in tandem.
"FREE!!"
This time, I'm prepared.
"No waiting" - "NO WAITING!!"
"No schedules" - "NO SCHEDULES!!"
"No car" - "NO CAR!!"
"No mail" - "NO MAIL!!"
"At your fingertips" - "AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!!"
"No fighting with the kids over the TV" - "NO FIGHTING WITH THE KIDS OVER THE TV!!"
"AND HD!!!!"
The music stops.
Kneeling on one knee, the presenters stretch out their hands and look at me with the biggest grin on their faces.
I try not to burst into laughter.
It's hard.
Darn hard.
As they're finishing their routine, I am a bit relief, thinking I might just get away with this one.
But then, the officer stands up, put on his sunglasses, approaches my car, reaches for his pen and writing pad and starts writing.
"Shit!" out loud, I'm thinking.
As I take back my license, the officer hands me a piece of paper, "Check these out, son!"
I look at the paper. It reads:

Ever Ready
A soft creak pierces through the wall of silence, as she gently pushes open the door. Her steps are light. She could have approached a leopard on a hunt and the leopard would not have noticed her when she's two feet away - within two feet, she's dinner for the leopard. As sharp as her sense of hearing already is, she tunes it up a notch higher, wary of any surprises.
As she walks to the centre of the room, she pauses. Soft as the breathings are, she sense their existence. Her heart speeds up. But before the heart beats another thud, she calms it down, and pumps her defense up, ready for the attackers lurking behind her.
Everything stay still ...
Then they make their moves.
This is nothing uncommon in the house of Teenage Blatant Ninja Trooper - the best Ninja training house in town.

Moral Lesson For Today
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
*****
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more.
Expect less
NOW .......
Enough of that crap .
The donkey later came back, and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.
MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:
When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.
