Doomsday

How weird is it that we live in a world where this isn't something from a sci-fi movie but rather a pretty good plan?

Blame it on the student loans

Observation while driving: If the stickers in the back window of your car are for Stanford University and Harvard Law School, I would think you'd be capable of applying them in the center of the window, rather than slightly askew and asymmetrical. But then again, if you're a Stanford and Harvard Law grad, why the fuck are you driving a Ford Taurus?

To anyone who thought the first post was terrible

Agreed. But can you blame me for setting the bar low? It's called "managing expectations" and a key principle in my professional and personal life.

It's similar to my friend Paul's theory on dating, to wit: "Get the first fart out of the way as soon as possible, preferably on the first date. Once it's out there, things will be a lot easier. You'll both laugh about it. You've set the standard. You're not only cutting the cheese, you're cutting the tension. Then there's none of this holding back your gas for weeks and causing undue agony. Everybody farts, right? So why fake it?"

So there you go. I'm getting the fart out of the way early. Managing expectations. Keeping the bar set low ... and what have you.
