If you dont know who made this tune famous.....

If you don't know who made this tune famous.....

check your pulse.

"Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer.
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love
(uuuuuu)
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her
if I tried"

Okay, so now he's a believer. But I've found that today believers are hard to find.

If I dig an Indian cent it's a sure thing someone will ask: "Is that real?" When I say yes, usually the next question will be: 'How do you know?" It's at this point I'd like to say...how do you know you're a real person?

I have ancient relics in my office and home. They have been looked at by the best experts and they're the real thing. Whenever I tell a visitor that a certain item is 2000 years old they really don't believe it. A certain little sarcastic glint comes into their eyes but they'll lie and say: Oh, really? That's something!

There is however a good side to this, this doubting everything syndrome has helped me win some awesome relics on ebay for dirt cheap.

Scott, I wouldn't be surprised if the record jackets are worth more than the 45 itself

Never bought one of their singles, but have most of their LP's except for the last 2.. I think they started giving those two albums away as coasters

Sshhh...Don't tell my sister, but I used to get some of her albums and use them as bases when the guys and I would play baseball...I think the Monkees were third base...

I think I'm going to look more carefully at old records offered for sale at thrift shops and garage sales.

Up here those things just set forever because nobody wants them. I have at times glanced at some in the giant stacks and seen many old rock albums including the Beatles. Maybe there's a treasure out there? I know almost nothing about record values.

Just have to mention, I am a major pessimist, always have, most likely always will be. I am however working on my cognitive skills. Thats the right term isn't it? Anyways, your comments here show that you have the same negative reasoning that I do. Such as the "sarcastic glint in their eye" what is happening and what your brain tells you is happening there is usually two different things. It's amazing I know. A persons brain is actually capable of lying to them, and it happens quite often.
Take this scenario, walking through the mall someone say, "Nice hair"... Negative person hears, "Great cowlick there putz". Positive person hears, "You look great today". The person in the mall is thinking, "I wish someone would mention my new haircut".

It's all perception and in many cases your brain has an auto fire button and tells you that person was insulting you, or complimenting you before you truly have time to rationalize it.

I have to quit reading these stupid self help books...

It applies to the Indian head to, in the negative response, they are doubting you, in the positive response they we trying to learn how to tell real from fake. In the true perspective they were probably just making conversation.

Anyone learn anything new to day? Like maybe why I have such a knickname?

Pessimism is realism, in my book. It is "The attribute of accepting the facts of life and favoring practicality and literal truth."

Pessimism is the rule, optimism the exception.

To use the colorful language of the street, life in general sucks with now and then some faint glimmers of hope.

Think of it in a treasure hunting way. You buy a new detector (what a rip-off)...your wife hits the ceiling and cusses you out...you leave the house angry and back into a passing car (minor but expensive damage)...you get a ticket...all the while the wife is cussing at you...you go to local park to TH and try to release some stress...you realize you forgot your batteries...you get a parking ticket downtown...you finally get into the park and some lady reports a suspicious looking character in the park...after 20 minutes you finally convince the cops you're okay....you're about ready to go jump off the bridge...you detect one more time and get a signal....you dig a 1906 V nickel

That optimistic stuff is very rare and not regular life but when it happens it's very sweet.

Well I disagree..

I'm always optimistic that things will unravel and fall apart in the near future
