My thoughts on... |
Yellow cars- Don't drive them or buy them unless you want people to try and hail a ride because they think you're a taxi. Valentine's Day- It's a hallmark holiday. Anyone who proposes on this day should be shot for lack of originality.(you know who you are) The Pope-There comes a point in everyone's life where it's time to look around and see if you are really being effective anymore. For John Paul, this time was 20 years ago. By the way, until you stop treating women like second-class citizens in the Catholic Church, making homosexuals feel guilty for being who they are, and thinking that you can encourage governments to persue laws on how I use my uterus, people are going to continue to leave the church. Step down. Alcohol-Alcohol is your friend. Treat it with respect and it won't come back to bite you in the ass. Being buzzed it good...stop when you can't remember your name. Grades-In this ever crowded world, grades are like soldiers for your own personal country. Send them off to do battle with bosses, and establish diplomatic relations later. Numbers will get you in the door, but your true abilities will keep your ass in your happy cubicle/corner office. Beauty-Looks will only take you so far. No one will continue to come back to the buffet when it really looks appetizing, but tastes like plastic and lacks the ability to fill you up. Another thing about beauty...true beauty is only found after you get to know someone and realize that the crazy hair that once drove you nuts now takes your breath away. Generic beauty can be bought or created with the right plastic surgeon, and if that's your thing, good luck with that. Learn to appreciate the attributes about a person that didn't require liposuction or rhinoplasty. Music-I could never live in world without it...I wouldn't want to. It provides bookmarks to important times in your life. Every moment, good or bad, that I want to remember for the rest of my life has some kind of music attatched to it. It's the soundtrack to your own personal lifetime movie. Love it, immerse yourself in it and find that song that lifts your spirits during the worst time of your life. |
