• Good Fortune?

  Date: 2008.04.19 | Category: Uncategorized | Response: 0

  Last week I had Chinese food with a small group of friends.

  Besides the food, my favorite part is the fortune cookies. I like the taste and you never know what fortune you’ll get.

  I had an awesome one that day:

  “Your greatest wish will come true.”

  I was perplexed though. I had lots of wishes… how would I know which one it would be? If I couldn’t figure out which was the greatest, would it ever come true?

  I decided the best way to figure this out would be with another fortune cookie. This way I might be able to get another free wish and be much better off. Maybe it would just offer some helpful insight.

  The second one said:

  “The pleasure of what we enjoy is lost by wanting more.”

  Clearly I’m screwed at this point. The cookie is saying that the second cookie was a bad idea.

  I decided to try my luck on one of those wishes later that night.. … no dice. So apparently it’s not that particular wish.

  Maybe I’ll get my CCIE?

  Maybe I’ll start enjoying my job?

  Maybe I’ll meet a girl who is interested in me in a non “fucked up crazy i have no idea what’s going on” sort of way?

  Maybe I’ll get a new motorcycle?

  Maybe my allergies will stop?

  Alright.. done bitching now.
