good things for keeping calm

• not too much going on/being loud around me
• just the right music
• warm beverages (at least in the winter...)
• space that is neat, but not perfectly so
• a really good book (especially one that i can get lost in)

treaty of clovis

of all the tyrants in history, my government (of myself) might be one of the worst.  but that might be because of all the rebellious peoples in history, my heart might be one of the worst.

so.  i propose a compromise.

my decision-making side hereby agrees to try to not resort to tyranny, and my subordinate side agrees to try not to resort to mutiny or any other type of rebellion against what it knows to be right.

and henceforth there was peace and harmony throughout the land! (psshh... yeah right.)
