The Manliest Dolphin

Stories from a charming dude...

I am Matt, this is my Tumblr. I am just a regular dude. I own a recording studio (Broken Sound) and work for a technology company. I like a whole bunch of music and like relaxing when I can. Thanks for checking out my blog and feel free to ask me anything or reblog away! Thanks for stopping by!

How are you today?

Why are people so dramatic?

Everyday I ask people at work, the gas station, or Wawa how they are and their response is always “Same shit different day” or “Just one of those days” as they sigh and shake their heads. It’s like damn? Is your life really that bad? People, in this world of negativity and “shit gone wrong/economic crisis” I understand that it becomes easy to blame everything that makes your life suck on something but for the love of shit, just smile. It could be way worst. I could cut the negativity around here with a damn knife. You woke up this morning right? You breathing? You have clothes and a meal? Good. Because a lot of people don’t so chill out, take a big free breathe and be thankful.

You don’t want to look like this cat do you?

Thoughts?

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities
no doubt have crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.


Tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely
and with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with
your old nonsense.


This day is all that is
good and fair.
It is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on yesterdays.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882)
