09/20/2003: "Life's Lessons"

I originally made this entry yesterday, but in looking at it further I realized that I had missed the boat. Here is the new version. I received an email yesterday, Saturday, with one of those anonymous attachments that people forward because they're funny, or because they're cool in some philosophical way; "forward this to five friends and the world will be a better place." Anyway, I liked it so I just pasted it into the body of the page without any sort of preamble and called it Life's Lessons.

Where did I miss the boat? Opportunity knocks, that's where, and I wasn't listening. Click more.. below.

This is after all Cliff's Notes to life. Just check the "Meta Tag" Description: Life is brutal, so don't bust your hump; just read the Cliff's Notes. It worked in school, and it'll work now. Life, Love, Truth, Beauty, Sex, and much more, all covered for your convenience. Just a mouse click away. Visit now, it's free! Do you see what I mean? Tell a story, or an anecdote, or just get kicked in the ass; you always learn something. Right? It's like, the moral of the story is..., but it's a lot more flexible and has the potential to be very funny. Read the stuff from the email pasted in below, not because it so great or anything, but because it's a great concept. Am I getting this across? If not, you'll know what I mean when you start seeing these things popping up in Cliff's Notes.


I've learned that you cannot make
someone love you. All you can do is
stalk them and hope they panic and give in

I've learned that no matter how much I care,
some people are just assholes.

I've learned that it takes years
to build up trust, and it only takes
suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

I've learned that you can get by
on charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you'd better have a big willy
or huge boobs.

I've learned that you shouldn't
compare yourself to others - they are
more screwed up than you think.

I've learned that you can keep vomiting
long after you think you're finished.

I've learned that we are responsible
for what we do, unless we are celebrities.

I've learned that regardless of
how hot and steamy a relationship is at
first, the passion fades, and there had better
be a lot of money to take its place!

I've learned that the people you care most
about in life are taken from you too soon
and all the less important ones just never
go away.

From an email I got this morning.
