22. Price of a porshe
So my close friend buys a new car. YAY! he buys this amazingly pretty 2008 Porsche Boxster. Man it is sexy...So as I see his car my head just goes into overdrive..I mean I really think about why I can't do that kind of thing...I mean who wouldn't think that right? The guy is 26, a graduate from Occidental College, and with the fancy new car...hey he's picking up all the ladies...good situation ya know.So as I'm with him we start talking about this one girl that he picks up...he tells me how he rolled up to the club in his new car...how he turned heads and had everyone smiling/wondering who this cat was...so he spots this one girl outside and after a few courage drinks inside, he finds her and starts up a conversation. After talking to her for a while and showing her his new 2008 Porsche...well needless to say, he got her to leave with him...nice ya know.So as they drive home he pulls up to his place, laughing, practically falling and making a ruckus...I mean why not..he just picked up a random girl and is about to get lucky. As soon as he puts the key into the door, his mom opens it up and starts yelling at him for making so much noise...Guess he forgot to tell the hottie that he lives at home with mom and dad still...Ya know...it was at that point I figured out how he could afford a Porsche...I also figured out at the point how in the end...even though I can't afford one...how much better I am because of it.

21. Dentist office
So...it all came to me one day when my boss told me about a book he was writing. Funny thing...he tells me that everyone has stories in their life that they have to tell...you just have to think about it...so I did...
....Take southwest for instance..
One day...I was leaving from Burbank airport..to uh...well actually I don't remember..but as I was leaving I was taking a local flight and as such Southwest was cheap/easy. So I buy my ticket and a few weeks later i'm good to go.
As I arrive to Burbank..like any airport there are a million people running around trying to get to where they are getting to...I walk up to the automated teller and as I walk up to the machine some random woman jumps in front of me in a loud tone "move!! I have to check in" ...of course i'm beside myself..WTF? so as she checks in she then gets her printed ticket and runs off...i'm reaction..."good...damn rude chick.." so i check in and begin my walk to security..I clearly see this woman up front on the line already.."please let me through..i'm late and have to get there..." Knowing we have like an hour before it takes off i'm pretty chilled out..I have to give it to her..whatever she did to get to the front of the line worked...because it took me like...30 minutes to get up there...I finally get through and make my way to the plane..I wait around and finally board..put my baggage up, get my ipod out, and sit down with a magazine..only to find the same exact woman sitting next to me...funny...guess she missed that part where Southwest is general seating..
Sometimes...you rush and rush and rush to beat everyone..to get ahead of the crowd...in some cases, being rude to them...only to find that you end up in the same place as the guy you cut ahead of.
