Disclaimer: Not a Psychotic Rant (despite the title)
I've been working with a lot of legal documents lately in my current job, and when I read over the language, I can't help but hear the voice of Mayor Quimby from the Simpsons in my head.
"Know all men by these presents, that such and such (hereinafter called the Principal), and so and so (hereinafter called the Surety), are held and firmly bound unto whosamacallit (hereinafter called the Obligee), in the full and just sum of one bajillion dolloars, the payment of which sum, well and truly made, the said Principal and Surety bind themselves, and each of their heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.
It's chowda, darn you."

According to The Quick and Dirty Career Test, these are the things I should be doing with my life:
Hmm.. about half of those look appealing. Maybe slightly more.
I didn't realize "Philosopher" was an occupation, though. Can you actually make money at that?

Life is like a Parking Lot
I read this in someone’s profile on OkCupid today:
“I understand now that you will always be alone in life. That your journey is just that- yours. Sometimes we are lucky enough to find that special person who will walk with us for a while and experience the same things and open up new paths... yet, life is solitary and I'm beginning to think the people that come into it- are fleeting... and WONDERful while they're there.
I wish someone would want to walk with me a little longer. “
It’s something that resonated with me, because it’s something that my bitter and jaded self has believed for a long time now. I really like the way she expressed it, but I would only add this:
The problem with finding someone to walk with is that most people seem to find it more convenient to drive around for ages in order to find a good parking spot than to hoof it that extra mile. Then, once they've found that spot, they seem generally loath to give it up because its convenient.
Don’t know if it’s laziness or something else, but that’s as apt a metaphor for the way people have relationships as any I can think of.
Maybe this is why I don't drive these days.
