You are a moron.
I know this because this is you, from the past, just as you are experiencing the consequences of your past mistakes—
—which isn’t necessarily bad, except it’s not the first time you’ve made these mistakes. Hell, this isn’t even the second time you’ve made these mistakes. So, no, I don’t subscribe to Einstein (or whoever) when he said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
So here:
- Stop buying things you really don’t need. Especially clothes. That’s not so hard, is it? It’s a rule everybody knows (and, depending on their confidence in their finances, does or does not follow). I don’t care how cool (you think) you look in a studded leather vest or a pair of combat boots. I mean go ahead, buy things you might not need that you’ll use about twice a year. But please don’t buy things you’ll only use once in a lifetime.
- And by the way, the only pair of shoes you’ll ever need are your black low-cut Chuck Taylors. Well, no, but close enough. They’re the only pair of shoes that will love you back, if shoes had feelings. They don’t, but close enough.
- Just because you promised yourself you’d do something after a certain amount of time doesn’t mean you should, if you no longer feel like it. Sure it’s an obligation, but it’s an obligation to yourself. I’m pretty sure your self would completely understand, even agree (!), should you change your mind.
- Stop using your hormones as a Get Out of Jail Free card.
- In fact, stop using anything as a Get Out of Jail Free card. I don’t know where you got the idea that life is a rewards-based thing where if you get to save up a hundred good deeds, you get to claim one thing, regardless of whether or not it has good consequences. I’m pretty sure life never worked that way. (Also, I’m pretty sure Get Out of Jail Free cards never worked that way, either.)
I hope you find it in you to try something new and stop making these damn mistakes.
Bang bang, shoot shoot.
Hello,
I made a cover of Elephant Gun (Beirut). It’s nothing special, but because I put a lot of effort (into learning the basics of the harmonica and still ended up failing at it) into making it, I am proud of it. Also I figured to make this blog a bit more personal, again.
It’s going to be a good year.
