“If you've made a mistake, chances are you’re a fucking idiot.”

“Hey, let’s head to Wal-Mart. Adam’s brother-in-law said the new wave of figures are in.” “Alright. First let me call Best Buy and tell them I won’t be in this afternoon.”

A not-uncommon exchange of phrases among a much younger JDot and GDub circa: 1999. “Shit, we’ve come a long way.” JDot thinks sarcastically to himself, and now worldwide. One can’t help but imagine what our many yesterdays would have looked like had we spent our time and money on something substantial some 10 years ago. It pains my head to think about the endless possibilities. It brings a smile to my face to know 1 element that “sure as shit” wouldn’t have come about had we had our shit together some time ago. That priceless element is none other than Yeah, I Figured That Much.

“We are defined by our mistakes.” A noble individual probably said.
“If you've made a mistake, chances are you’re a fucking idiot.” Yeah, I Figured That Much.

We only speak from experience. Honesty has to account for something…

"Why don't you come over to watch Swingers tonight?"

"Ok. You're at Goldenrod right?"

"Yeah. Come right in, just be sure to take your shoes off."

What if you've made more than one mistake? Say 1,000,000,000.

Good one Randy.

At least I'm not a Cubs fan.

It's not the number of mistakes you make, but the quality of those that you do.
