This is arguably the single most bad ass thing I have ever read in my life. Naturally, I wanted to share it with like-minded individuals who truly know "bad ass" when they see it. They were busy, so you two will have to do.
Kyle, if I may borrow one of your expressions, this list/article is tough. In fact, it's so tough, we need to think of another word for it.

The Grass is Always Greener
Isn't the grass always greener on the other side?
I used to just laugh at all those wonderful quips and wive's tales that I heard as a kid.
i.e
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away!"
"The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side!"
"Smoking leads to lung cancer!"
"Don't leave mommy alone on days that the pool boy is coming over!"
Footnote:
(I use exclamations because my mother would say these things in an upbeat manner, she was not yelling at me. I think there needs to be another exclamation besides just !. Because authors like Sue Grafton use the exclamation point about 3,000 times in each other her novels and since most of her novels deal with confrontations involving rape and murder, I think it has lost its meaning. The written word can really now only convey two feelings. A simple, "the cat ran to the market." leaves the reader feeling like this is just an everyday benign event. While, "the cat ran to the market!" makes the reader feel as though the cat is running to the market and is about to have a violent confrontation involving one of two scenarios: 1) Rape or 2) Murder. I don't know what the exclamation point would be but it needs to be softer. Using it to just show excitement feels redundant.)
Back to the main story.
I am starting to believe all of my mom's old sayings. The grass is always greener. I was only working and I craved to be back at school. Now that I am at school I am whining to myself about how hard it is.
Are we ever going to be content as people? Will we always want more?
Is that a good thing?
I have seen people whom appear to be content and I don't think they are happy. They work at Ross.
What do you guys think?
