Today is National Failures Day. Do you have any failures that are worth commemorating?

These two hot chicks were siting next to me at this conference. The speaker was throwing stuff into the audience and we both cought some schwag. I convinced her to trade me her hat for my tshirt, but didn't even think to get her number, i just really wanted the hat. Afterwards I realised just how hot she was, but by now she had decided she got a lousy t-shirt. She ignored me.

Grod stole my answer. The omniscient (and omnipresent) quonsar stole my better answer. All that's left is to type this bitter lament.

I'm just glad I wrote my Math exam on the 14th.
...for the second time, I might add.

Sigh.

drinking alcohol to cover my anxiety, and in doing so became addicted and increased my irrational thinking to become dominant over rational thought.
To any who question behaviors, read Albert Ellis rebt.org and avoid any 12 step programs/cults.

I play alot of baseball, and my batting average is approximately .400. So I'm failing over half the time I step up to the plate.
