--------------------------------------------
I died a few days ago.
Took a bullet in the head. The death itself was instantaneous; which is good, I suppose. I didn't have to suffer it out like stomach cancer patients or have to be put in a nursing home where I would be forgotten and unloved.
No...I died quickly. And young. 29 years old and not a disease in my body. I kept myself in tip-top shape so that I can better prepare myself for the future. Between the gym in the morning and the salads, protein shakes and vitamins, I was absolutely a picture of health and happiness. Not once did I pick up a cigarette and feel that "smoker's rush" people oftentimes discuss. Not once did I jeopardize my future and smoke pot or do some crazy drugs. Sure, I drank...but come on, who wants to vomit till 3 am?
I also graduated from a top-tier law school two years back. Studied my ass off to get on law review and crammed like crazy for all 17 of my interviews. Before that I'd graduated from Yale with suma cum laude distinction. Sure I'd missed a few parties, but it paid off in the end when I went home and proudly told my parents I'd received a 3.92 cumulative GPA. My future was looking so bright.
I had a girl, too. Well, let me rephrase that one a bit: I had a few girls. Jessica, Lauren......um, Stacey was in there, too. I think there was a Laura in the mix there somewhere. Who knows? Jessica told me she loved me. I told her I had to think about how I wanted to proceed with our "relationship." I even did the bunny-ears thing with my hand when I said the word "RE-LA-TION-SHIP." She cried. I watched SportsCenter.
My mom had been complaining that I hadn't been seeing her enough. I told her to understand that I was working very hard for my future and that when my hard work finally pays off, some of my time can be freed up for her. She understood.
Yep. What can I say? I had it made in the shade. My portfolio was up 42%. I was driving around in an M5. I lived in a sick apartment in Gramercy......and now it's all gone.
And I didn't do anything with my life. I didn't accomplish anything. I didn't get to love anyone. I didn't get to bungee jump or feel what being stoned is like. I didn't let life grab a hold of me and take me for a little magic carpet ride. I always needed to be in control so that I can have a bright and successful future.
Hindsight, let me tell you, is a bastard.

I believe I did credit it. Take a look. Are you angry at me or something?

Uh huh!!
I don't buy it. But whatever. I like your writing because
it reminds me of someone that I once knew.

Farmers in Australia, the world's second-largest wheat exporter last year, are counting on at least average rainfall during the next month to help complete crop development before the October-to-January harvest. Rain during those months can cause wheat seeds on un-harvested crops to germinate, reducing quality.

didn't look at the original, but I rather liked the premise. It falls in line with my philosophy -
It's almost impossible to be The Best
and real hard work to be Very Good.
But mediocrity is a piece of piss.

Yeah, I think you missed your targeted audience by far. In other words, it needs work.
