I just ran into a nice little metaphor in the book I've been reading lately and for some reason or another felt like it was the kind of thing that I should post on the internets. Amazingly enough, I don't really have anywhere else better than here to dump this shit. Anyway, here it is.

Wow. I guess I haven't been around here in a while. Everything's different. And for the frilly-er.
Anywhat, I recently nailed one of those goals I mentioned before. I got a new apartment in downtown SLC. It's actually a pretty nice place; 900 sqft., hardwood floors, front and back doors, fourth floor, and with a balcony that looks over the whole damn Salt Lake valley....

There's nothing I can't handle.
My list of goals September, 2005:
1) Get a new (used) car
2) Get a new (better paying) job
3) Get an apartment (to move out of my parents' house.)

If you're lucky, #2 and #4 can be combined.
Also, if public transit is doable from wherever you move to, you can skip #1.
So really, all you need to do is find a Job (w/ health benefits) and Apartment that are on the same bus route.
Edit: My new roommate (a pale fucker in a black cloak, holding a scythe) says you totally don't need health insurance.

Cross your fingers and think smooth thoughts for me; I have a chance to get a date. With luck, I might not fuck it up.
Remember how you always used to think I had tons of potential to not be so damn pathetic and maybe even pretty cool if I just "..."? (I still don't know what those ellipses might stand for.) Well, if you...

You know how I get beat at poker? When I make a perfectly reasonable bet of "all in" before the flop because I have pocket kings and great position, but the fucker behind me has way more chips anyway (won entirely on luck and being a stupid fucking "call station", by the way) AND has been dealt pocket aces.

Betting all in before the flop? You, sir, have balls.
Next on the docket: get Life Goals..
imagoldfish:
You know, I've been thinking way to much about that comic. Here's what I think bugs me about it: that there is an implication that the two things, the jobs, marriage, etc, and the awesome get Life Goals thing, are mutually exclusive. I don't like that. I also don't like that the jobs, marriage option somehow seems like a miserable, bleary alternative. I mean, it certainly can be, if you never have Life Goals or adventures - but why can't you have both? At the same time, even?
