  • Road Rage

    The speed limit, contrary to popular belief, is not the speed minimum!  This is revolutionary and life-changing information––I know.  That's why I've been patient with you up until now, but I've been cut off inappropriately for the last time.

    Now, I don't normally mind it when people cut me off, because I understand running late.  I've cut people off before I was running late, and I intended no harm.  But when it's just the two of us on a road with only one lane going our direction, and your destination is your house at 5:30 p.m., I really don't appreciate it. You cut me off and turned into your driveway about two-hundred feet from where we were.  Considering the fact that I wasn't even going the fucking speed limit
    –I was going five over–you had no reason to be so assertive!  Yet, in your fit of childish road rage, and in your knowledge that I wasn't likely to react, you thought it completely necessary to cut me off, go forty miles per hour in a thirty miles-per-hour zone, and run a stop sign to get to your destination two seconds faster!

    Don't think I'll forget what your car looks like either.

  • Wealth: Why and How?

    A dubious method of self-discovery, this.

    Why?

    1. Because wealth means notoriety and some degree of societal fame, which is nice.

      I want...:

    2. ...to be beautiful and healthy, and only the wealthy can afford expert preventative care, body modifications, et cetera
    3. ...nice things—high-quality cashmere, leather, name-brand jeans, suits, sunglasses, pens, jewelry, and so forth.
    4. ...clean houses, polished floors, steam-cleaned furniture, and the like, and I will not be doing any deep-cleaning personally.  In other words, I need a maid, and they unfortunately charge for their services.
    5. ...expensive, exotic, and healthful food.
    6. ...not to worry about getting the things I want.  The more money I have, the less I have to choose;  I will simply have everything I want.
    7. ...to be considered valuable myself, and by amassing a large sum of wealth, I will be.
    8. ...immortality.
    How?

    By...
    1. ...doing something mundane that I fucking hate, like chemical engineering, anesthesiology, or law.
    2. ...winning at gambling.
    3. ...owning a business.
      1. ...starting up some fast food chains.
      2. ...being an executive in banking, advertising, medicine, higher education, et cetera.
    4. ...convincing the world that I am a phenomenal musician.  I could release amazing albums, tour between their releases, and retire at death.
    5. ...convincing the world that I am a phenomenal actor.
    6. ...robbing a bank.
    7. ...killing people.
    8. ...dealing drugs.
    9. ...writing a book and getting someone like Oprah to endorse it.
    10. ...inventing something.
    11. ...marrying someone of supreme wealth and enjoying their wealth as well as our loveless marriage.
    12. ...supplanting a rich person.  In other words, kill or otherwise subdue someone wealthy and live as them until my death (that is, assuming death is unavoidable).
    13. ...doing all of the above.
    I am already nineteen and my life is seemingly going nowhere.  What the fuck do I do?

  • Sushi for the Win

    I have become nineteen years old at last.

    My parents, a friend of theirs, and I went out for sushi.  The entire meal was delectable.  At the end of it, my step-father mentioned that it was my birthday, and I was given some tempura-covered, flash-fried ice cream.


    We're going out again tomorrow night to another sushi bar, minus their friend who came tonight, with the addition of D., my significant other, as well as K., my eldest step-sister.  It should be fun!

    D.'s primal side comes out when he eats, especially with regard to sushi.  It's rather fascinating to watch.
