"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

"What?!"
I have known so many of these spoiled, entitled chicks that think the world owes them something. I can only imagine what would happen in her fantasy land ... "Stop the show! She took a watermelon to the face! Her team wins the grand prize, sorry everyone else!"
I can't help but laugh at her attention-seeking comment "I have the worst headache ever," which is almost certainly an outright lie. Her face was probably a bit numb on the side she got hit, but headaches brought on by trauma to the head don't develop that quickly. (They usually take hours to days to develop.) Also, considering the watermelon didn't even break her nose (granted, it hit the side of her face), it seems pretty unlikely that it was any worse than running your face into an airbag at 40+ mph. Surprising, perhaps, and painful to the dermis, but hardly head trauma.

Made and uploaded some random videos today.

The Leisure Suit Larry hooker scene in Hercules. That's how my youth looked: green and crisp! Although Youtube filtered out the crisp part when it encoded my movie.

Dangerous Dave (CGA). First time I've played it since... OVER A DECADE, probably. I was just trying to beat the game, nothing fancy, but ended up dying on level 8. Love this game.

Another Dangerous Dave video. This one showcases a glitch that sends you to a nonexistent level.
What is it with this shiny ponyta? Is it like the infinity+1 sword of the pokemon franchise or something? Does catching it entitle to you to a 1-million dollar cash price? Or is it just for the glory and babes?

It's just uber rare to get. There's no stat bonus or anything, it just looks different. The odds normally are about 1/8096 to get a shiny pokemon, outside of a guaranteed one in Gold/Silver/HeartGold/SoulSilver.
I've only ever gotten one myself, a shiny Golbat.
