As I've Matured...

As I've Matured...

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in...

I've learned that one good turn
gets most of the blankets.

I've learned that no matter how much I care,
some people are just jackasses.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust,
and it only takes suspicion, not proof,
to destroy it.

I've learned that whatever hits the fan
will not be evenly distributed.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others -
they are more screwed up than you think.

I've learned that depression is merely anger
without enthusiasm.

I've learned that it is not what you wear;
it is how you take it off.

I've learned that you can keep vomiting
long after you think you're finished.

I've learned to not sweat the petty things,
and not pet the sweaty things.

I've learned that ex's are like fungus,
and keep coming back.

I've learned age is a very high price
to pay for maturity.

I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity,
I enjoy it.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do,
unless we are celebrities.

I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match
for natural stupidity.

I've learned that 99% of the time
when something isn't working in your house,
one of your kids did it

I've learned that there is a fine line
between genius and insanity.

I've learned that the people you care most about in life
are taken from you too soon
and all the less important ones just never go away.
And the real pains in the ass are permanent.

Pass this along to 5 friends...
trust me, they'll appreciate it.

Who knows, maybe something good will happen. If not...tough!

I laughed when I read the part about jackasses and pains in the asses...so true...lol

But I think I am not matured enough because, I still need to have an extra pull to have the most of the blanket ;-)

actually some years ago I bought 2 duvets for our double bed - it's better than fighting for possession of ONE :P

You don't remember the days before duvets when, if you turned over in bed, you took all the sheets/blankets with you and off your bedfellow?

I've learned that one good turn
