One thing I've noticed traveling down those roads: It's really difficult to get a ride when you're holding the sign that reads, "You're going nowhere, fast."
They'll just drive right past. Straight over that cliff...
In life. In general. That's just how it is, I guess.
You've seen a little of my history around here, right? From my first journey and my, how do you say it, um, <sarcasm>boundless optimism</sarcasm> about so many people and things back then? You are preaching to the choir boy, for sure.
I have a better outlook this time. Maybe it's because in hindsight so many people finally seem to have caught on to all the things I was right about, ahead of my time. So this time, I find, I have enjoyed a little more acceptance. I also got older and a little bit nicer.
A little bit...
I've grown to be quite patient. Don't hold grudges. Don't really expect anyone to give a shit about what I have to say. Now if I could just learn how to fit in and follow the herd.
I joke.
But yeah. Friendly heads-up: Get some popcorn.
