I've decided that expecting the worst is far more rewarding than expecting the best. The only way that this can fail is if it turns out to be a self fulfilling prophecy, but whatever.

With expecting the worst you can never be disappointed, but when something is awesome, it's even more so, because it wasn't expected. For example: Spider-Man 2. But with high expectations, you will frequently be disappointed, because things either don't or can't measure up. For example: Spider-Man 1. This also applies to everything that isn't a movie, but that's the most direct example I can come up with. (FYI, I didn't really care for Spider-Man 1.)

Better yet, I suppose, would be not really expecting anything at all, and just going with the flow, but that clearly doesn't gel with my personality (which, by the way, turns out to be the one where you are more sensitive to punishing stimuli, as opposed to that cool personality where the rewarding stimuli are emphasized. Woo).

In summation, I'mmm Sssaaaaddd!
