However, dear readers, I have a valid reason for skipping Tuesday. Some serious crap hit the fan yesterday, and I was feeling a little emo and Pity Party: Party of Allie, so I decided to spare y’all fun facts that belong on a thirteen-year-old’s MySpace. You will be happy to know that after aforementioned crap hit the fan, I managed to involve myself in a monumentally awkward situation, so all is right-ish with the world.
(PS: All will be right with the world once the repercussions of serious crap hitting a serious fan die down, so if you’re the praying kind — or even the finger crossing, wishful thinking kind — please say a few prayers, keep your fingers crossed, think some happy thoughts, etc. that everything works out soon. Thanks, gang. Y’all rock.)
Anyway, moving right along, I’m going to switch things up and tell you three people with major money but are still super awesome.
1. Oprah. Say what you will about her, but the woman built her own empire. I genuinely admire hard work and a “won’t back down” kind of spirit, and Oprah embodies that. She’s also notoriously charitable, which I adore. If she wanted to be charitable to … well, me, I’d take it. And I’d share!
2. Ellen DeGeneres. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that her last name sounds like “generous.” Ellen strikes me as a really sweet, positive, genuine, and caring person, and I love those qualities in anyone. She’s one of those people you instinctively want to be friends with and want around you in a time of crisis. Also, she’s funny, and sometimes, or a lot of times, laughter really is the best medicine.
3. Josh Pastner. For those of y’all not in the know, he’s the new head coach of the University of Memphis’s men’s basketball team. His contract has him earning over four million dollars over five years, which is a huge amount of money. Also, he’s got an amazing work ethic. Wikipedia says he finished his Bachelor’s degree in two and a half years while playing basketball. Very, very impressive.
So that’s that. Have a wonderful Wednesday! Watch Lost!
