Daily Fucking Thought

Giving In To Fear

Sometimes you just have to look fear in the face and say, "You win."  Some mornings it's just not worth leaving your townhouse, especially when you're headed for a day of public speaking, divorce court or invasive DNA testing.

Giving in to fear doesn't mean you're a failure, it just means you're weak and not worthy of love.

Commitments

Commitments are things you make and then immediately regret, sort of like your children - especially the crier.  Once you commit to something, say your office softball league or a life of sobriety, it's really hard to back out without looking indecisive and therefore impotent.

Think long and hard about making any commitment, and then choose not to.  It'll make you seem mysterious and therefore virile.

The Thought Counts

It's the thought that counts, which is good news because high school dropouts aren't exactly raking in the coin and accountants don't have fertile imaginations.  The thought counts more than spending a month's paychecks on another Precious Moments statuette for May-Mah or than trying to figure out a birthday gift for Todd, the pastor that has everything.

It's the thought that counts, unless the thought is an inappropriate one about a minor or sibling, then it's the keeping your hands to yourself that's more important.

Interventions

Interventions are meetings you hold to make it look like you care about a struggling friend so that when you give up on him, you can do so with a clear conscience because at least you tried.  Interventions are usually arranged by the friend who has the least going on in her personal life or by the one who's too scared to try methamphetamines. 

Interventions are kind of like a surprise party, but usually without cake and with more tears. 

Quitters

Winners never quit and quitters never win, but quitters do have extra free time while winners spend most of their days practicing French and sharpening their hand/eye coordination.  Though winning feels nice, the high from an occasional win over a weak or younger opponent should be enough to last throughout the year without too much time investment.

It's okay to be a quitter as long as you spend your time working on being well-rounded and developing your personality.  Winners have full trophy cases, but empty souls and rarely make good lunch companions.
