My head really hurts right now. I really want to go to the movies tonight, but my headache needs to go away. I just popped a pill, so I hope something happens soon. How do you get headaches. I've been "diagnosed" with migraines, but I think this is just a headache. I sort of feel like I'm dying. I need to go home. Stupid hard drive.
Anger Management:
Dr. Buddy Rydell: Dave, there are two kinds of angry people - explosive and implosive. Explosive is the type of individual you see screaming at the cashier for not taking his coupon. Implosive is the cashier who remains quiet day after day and then finally shoots everyone in the store. You're the cashier.
