Making Excuses

If you don't make excuses, others will simply think you're lazy or unmotivated.  If you don't explain your failures with a variety of reasons, everyone is going to think you're just not good enough, proving your parole officer right.

The best excuses are the ones that lie entirely outside of your control, like genes or ethnicity.  Other good excuses come from early childhood traumas, history of alcoholism or drug addiction, and having any type of palsy.

This is the headline that was broadcast on my gmail above this Daily Fucking Thought: "Shrimp-Like Fossil Confirms Antarctica Was Warmer"

What's that shrimp-like fossil's excuse? Huh?

I hope that some day people think I look like a shrimp-like fossil.
