Nope. I'm fully committed. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

What do you mean by that? Is the rollercoaster of life as set in path as an actual theme park ride?

I've been reading "Fear and Loathing" recently. Such a damn good book, would recommend to anyone but my grandma.

I bet your grandma could handle it. By and large, you don't get to be old by being delicate.

Perhaps, but I doubt she'd enjoy it. She'd likely spend the whole book worrying about what all those drugs were doing to this poor man's mind.

Obligatory -- how I learned this lesson from lil

I don't believe in fate exactly. I live my life one mistake at a time. It's not easy, but it's mine. I wouldn't trade it with anyone. Is that vague enough?

Very! I was just curious how that applied in reality. I mean, there are active decisions through all stages of your life that can improve it tremendously. Changing the terms of the ticket for a little extra dough, maybe let you cut the line.

Well, there's always room for improvement. I think the reality is you can spend your whole life trying to be someone else when all you really have to be is yourself. Me? I'm at a bar with my love and I'm high as a kite and if this was my last night alive I'd die a very happy addict. I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time. Good question though.

Makes sense, that's a good way to go about things:)

Wicked, get off Hubski and go enjoy life.
