This happens far too often for my liking. Let’s take last night for instance. Garr takes me to a place with $1 beers. Ok I’ll order a really expensive fruity cider – it’s fine. I peak at the menu.

Tater tot nachos. Literally, what have I been doing with my time if not topping cheese & veggies on top of perfectly crisp tater tots? Wasting my effing time, that’s what. I need to get it together. Stop pussyfooting around & really spend some time developing ideas so I get all of the fame & glory I deserve.
