10 Random Things I Learned Today

  • Never discount old friends with whom you've lost touch. They might come out of the woodwork, just when you need them the most, and change the game entirely.
  • Always make sure you close the fridge door before you go to bed. Waking up to a fridge full of spoiled food is not a great way to start the day.
  • Do your research before you buy a house. You could find yourself stuck in a neighbourhood full of stupid assholes, shitty drivers and trashy slobs... all of whom feel the same way about you.
  • Get your dad drunk once in a while. It will result in good stories you can share with your friends EVERY TIME.
  • Don't worry about money. No matter what you do, there will never be enough to buy yourself a dinosaur.
  • Go to McDonald's more often. But buy McDonald's a lot less.
  • Watch old movies you've always heard about but never seen. You might learn something.
  • Start disappointing the people who've always been happy to disappoint you. It's liberating, and you'll be much happier for it.
  • Hang out with a little kid. They'll teach you more in those few hours than you'll learn in an entire week at your job.
  • Buy yourself something you can't afford. Then challenge yourself to a) pay it off right away or b) not feel guilty about it.
