Well, I got "The Almanac of American Politics 2008", about $200 worth of book gift certificates, a new sword, a Carhart jacket, some cool new work gloves that fit to the hand...
I made out okay...
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Wow sounds nice. Well I got some new movies that I really wanted. "White Castle," "The Simpsons" and "Hairspray." I know weird mix right? I also got a podcast subscription renewed and a $30 gift card for Best Buy and I'm hopefully going to get a new phone from my dad later in the week (we didn't have time to go get it). So all in all it was nice.![]()
