Subject: What I've Learned


I've learned- that you cannot make someone love you.  All you can do is
stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I've learned- that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes.

I've learned- that it's not what you have in your life that counts but how
much you have in your bank accounts.

I've learned - that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you'd better have a big dick or huge tits.

I've learned- that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more
fucked up than you think.

I've learned- that you can keep puking long after you think you're finished.

I've learned- that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're
down will be the ones who do.

I've learned- that we don't have to ditch bad friends because their
dysfunction makes us feel better about ourselves.

I've learned- that no matter how you try to protect your children, they
will eventually get arrested and end up in the local paper.

I've learned- that overzealous customs agents can change your life in a
matter of hours.

I've learned- that the people you care most about in life are taken from
you too soon.  And all the less important ones just never go away.
