In your attempts to get the week rolling along properly I suggest you choose a few essays from Colin Nissan and dive right in. It's hard to go wrong with any of his musings. I was particularly entertained by this piece, "If I Could Fly." Here's an excerpt:

If I could fly, I would find a hummingbird, then hover right next to him and flap my arms in slow motion. I bet that would look really weird, and possibly make him nauseous.

If I could fly, I would fly over the plains of the Serengeti to see all the animals close-up. I’d bring a gun and fire it a couple of times just to see the looks on their faces when they think, Oh great, birds have guns now.

I also suggest bookmarking this list and revisiting whenever you need a quick pick-me-up. via Zach.
