Project Say Something: Stupid Is As Stupid Does
Tell us about the last time you did something really stupid.
Oh there are so many things swirling around in my head in answer to this question. The one I really want to put out there, I can’t. I made an agreement with myself when I created this website that I wouldn’t cross a certain line that has left other peoples’ lives in disarray after having crossed it themselves.* So my real answer – my good answer is left in the shadows. That doesn’t mean I don’t have another million stupid things I’ve done that I can put out there. For instance, I drove 40 minutes to sit on a train for 45 minutes to sit at work for less than 4 hours to sit on a train for 45 minutes and then drive 40 minutes (Why does any sane person spend as much time commuting as they do at work?) just today! Then there was last night when I though, “Hey! I can sleep in a bit in the morning, I might actually get a bit of sleep tonight!” And instead, stayed up til well passed 1 AM and ended up getting just as little sleep as every other night. In addition to that, today I drove to the metro stop on no gas. How exactly am I supposed to get from the metro stop to the gas station? Not really sure. No, I can call my actions like I see ‘em – just plain stupid. I may or may not regret them, I may or may not learn from them but I sure can claim them for what they are. And I am completely okay with that. Because I promise you, they’ll never stop coming.
