The PJ Project

Today I was trying to tell my little brother, PJ, to lighten up because he's being really grumpy and just plain out rude, even though I'm totally being the nicest I've ever been in my life. He says what he always say, "I'm sorry, but I can't." Which is total bull. Because you can do anything, and being positive when you don't want to be is probably one of the hardest things to do, but it's possible.

I know because I've been doing it for the past month. And sometimes I fail, but I just remember that life is always better when I'm happy.

So, I'm trying to tell PJ this, but he says that he can't be happy or positive and that he's not negative every day.

Yeah, he actually is. And it's really starting to get on my nerves. If I could move out, I would have done it a long time ago just to get away from the horrible energy he projects everyday.

Since PJ never listens to me no matter how nice I'm being or how loud I'm yelling, I've decided to try something different. Every time PJ's being really negative or being a jerk, I'm going to record it. And then I'm going to put it in my folder on my computer titled "The PJ Project" and leave it there until I have so much footage, it's ridiculous. And then I'm going to make a video out of it and show it to him.

He'll probably not even watch it. He may even break my camera while doing this. And he might never learn anything from this. But I think if he can see how negative he really is, then maybe, maybe he'll start listening to everyone who wants to see him happier.

So, he may think I'm being a jerk right now, and I would hate it if someone recorded me being negative all the time, but I think it's worth a try.

Plus, it might make me more conscious of when I'm being negative as well.
