Reductio Ad Absurdum

Certain people mean the world to me, and just when I decide that I'm certain I'm sick of them is when I realize that I'd never manage with anyone else.

Funny how sometimes the best way to fix something is to break it. How anything in motion cannot take two steps forward without taking at least one step back.

My doctor is checking my pulse.
Doctor: "You need to lay off the crank and the speed."
Me: "You can tell all that with a stethoscope?!"

Strange how you don't realize you need to see a doctor until the chronic health problems become inconvenient. How the best path to recovery is one of medical masochism.

"Persian people drink a lot of tea."

This guy wants a cupholder in his car for teacups and wine glasses! Interesting how after twenty hours of video interviews, this is how the consumer opinion of the luxury automobile industry shapes up: for every person who likes wood grain, there is a person who hates it. For every person that finds a certain control system modern, another person finds it cluttered. After hours and pages and droves and extensive review, only two things become abundantly clear: soft leather is comfortable, and more people than you might have thought carry bottles of water around with them.

Everyone's riding the seesaw by themselves.

indeed. Just like for every nation-worth of people that are arm-and-hammer for having cupholders in their vehicles (US) there is a whole nation that need them not and thus has none in cars that it manufactures (Germany). And neither is wrong really.

Jesse man, the stuff you write is absolutely incredible! I'm instantly (and hopelessly) obsessed with your writing style. keep it up! =D
