Everyone:

When I was your age (12 years ago.. holy crap, I'm getting old) I used to look forward to the weekends so I could sleep in and catch up on my chillin' with the homies.  Now, though, I look forward to the weekends so I can get up earlier than normal and get caught up on all the work I need to do... I must be doing it wrong... #poorlifechoices.

Speaking of Poor Life Choices, I'm not sure setting up this volleyball net and playing at midnight was such a great idea... when the motion life shuts-off, it's hard to see the ball... then the ball hits you in the face, then everyone but you laughs, then you feel like an idiot. When you feel like an idiot, you make other, often more severe poor life choices. It's a slippery slope of stupidity. Don't tread near the slop. You'd be an idiot to do that.
