A comment to one of your twitter post — you have 30 days from your b-day to finish CLE — why are you in such a rush?

My gallbladder
You and Pat Buchanan both.

I really liked it when Heather did it, I like your list a lot too. I was thinking of doing it.
“My belief in karma” I second that! Aholes get rewarded, nice people get screwed over. Life is unfair. No matter how many times I say it, think it, or write it – it doesn’t make it easier to swallow.

Maybe karma is real. But the assholes often think they’re the nice guys?
(not intended at either of you of course, just sayin from a logical prespective the bad guy rarely thinks he’s the bad guy)

I remember.

I was mostly referring to other people who I think are aholes. Actually, I don’t think I’m the nicest person. I def. don’t think there is a place in heaven for me, maybe purgatory?! (I hope.) Look I get that everyone has their own issues, problems, and basically shit to deal with – but some, they just have it a tiny bit easier than others. The only way karma works is internally, meaning if you are a bad person and nothing happens to you – you are still a bad person. But if you are a good person, you grow from the crap that happens to you. Personally I’m stunted. (I don’t know how to express this idea well.)

Oh. See, I just meant that Im a really good person and if karma were real I would have won the Mega Millions by now.

I mostly think of karma as it relates to other people. I guess I’m vindictive that way. Do I want to win the lottery? Do I think I deserve it because I’m a nice person? Yes.
June 17th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
hahahaha. Exactly.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
I found a long time ago that it’s a lot easier to be happy if I just wish that someone else DOESN’T win the lottery. My wishes come true every single time, it’s amazing.

Wait, so this is *your* fault? Fucker, you’re so going down. Grr

I won $3 in Powerball yesterday.
June 18th, 2009 at 11:52 am
Oh snap! I won $3 in Megamillions on friday. Gotta cash it in!

See, we *are* good people. Karma is rewarding us.
June 18th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
We are evidently only a little bit good though. Pout.
