Good Fortune?

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.
