[QUOTE="RLR, post: 63278, member: 486"] Had one of those days where it felt like everything in the universe was stacked against me. After 30 minutes of sitting still in Friday rush hour on the connector, I asked myself could this day get any worse. Then I looked up and noticed the license plate in front of me (pictured below). At the same time, T.I.'s "Live your life" came on my Ipod. For those unfamiliar with the song, it begins with, "Stop looking at what you ain't got / start being thankful for what you do got". What else could I do but laugh? The timing of it all made me step back and realize how foolish and unnecessary it is to brood over the past - be it the loss of 3 more players from my favorite football team or the trivial tribulations I ran into earlier today. Also, seeing that license plate reminded me that Anthony, Myles, and Ms. Autry are human beings. In the grand scheme of things, we GT fans should not be grieving for the team. Life goes on for us, next man up. There's so much more to this team and our fan hood than the individual players. That said, I hope all the people directly impacted by this week's news emerge from this setback as better people. Lord knows this world can use more good people. Keeping with the nature of this thread + T.I.'s advice, I'd like to list 10 GT related things that i'm [I]currently [/I]thankful for: [LIST=1] [*]This website. Eric, I have no idea who you are, why you created this site, or why you spend so much of your time giving us free information. But, I greatly respect you for doing it.

[*]Shamire Devine. I love that the kid is weird/true to himself. It's refreshing. Glad to hear that he's working hard this off season and losing weight.
