A pessimist is never disappointed.

Everyone loves motivational posters. Nothing inspires integrity, commitment, excellence, or any number of other positive things quite like a glossy piece of paper stuck to the wall.

For those of us who are more inclined toward despondency, there are always demotivational posters. In fact, you can create your own demotivational calendar to help maximize depression throughout 2007.

Here is how I expect my year to go:

- January - problems
- February - loneliness
- March - worth
- April - underachievement
- May - irresponsibility
- June - bitterness
- July - fear
- August - power
- September - motivation
- October - mistakes
- November - inspiration
- December - individuality

If we could expand the year by a few months, my year would also consist of dreams, doubt, humiliation, meetings, pressure, sacrifice, success, and leaders.

I hope you all have an appropriately mediocre year, or at least one that lives down to your lowest expectations! :)
