First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time...
#qt0481954-b / read by Shriram-60
For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars...
#qt0481954-c / read by Acharya-92
And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined our street...
#qt0481954-d / read by Shriram-60
Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper...
#qt0481954-e / read by Acharya-92
_And the_ first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird...

I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world.

Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst...

And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it.
#qt0481954-i / read by Shriram-60
And then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life...

You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday.

Your father and I were just discussing his day at work. Why don't you tell our daughter about it, honey?
#qt0481949-a / read by Shriram-60
Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go fuck himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars.

Your father seems to think this kind of behavior is something to be proud of.
#qt0481949-c / read by Teja-84
And I marvel that you can be so contemptuous of me, on the same day that you LOSE your job.
#qt0481949-d / read by Teja-84
Lose it? I didn't lose it. It's not like, 'Whoops! Where'd my job go?' I QUIT.
#qt0481949-e / read by Shriram-60
Someone pass the asparagus, please.
#qt0481949-f / read by Teja-84
We've met before, but something tells me you're going to remember me this time.
#qt0481921 / read by Shriram-60
Remember those posters that said, 'Today is the first day of the rest of your life'? Well, that's true of every day but one - the day you die.
#qt0481943 / read by Acharya-92
I'm not paying you to do... whatever it is you're doing out here.
#qt0481936-a / read by Shriram-60
I think you just became my personal hero!
#qt0481936-b / read by Acharya-92
It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it.
#qt0481934-a / read by Narmadha-83
And this bag was just dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes.
#qt0481934-b / read by Acharya-92
I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever.
#qt0481934-c / read by Shriram-60
Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... I need to remember...

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in.

It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself.
#qt0481959 / read by Acharya-92
Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about.
#qt1157193 / read by Shriram-60
It's like God's looking right at you, just for a second, and if you're careful... you can look right back.

Well, actually, Janine is Senior Drive-thru Manager so you are on her turf.
#qt0482002 / read by Acharya-92
Management wants you gone by the end of the day.
#qt0481932-a / read by Shriram-60
Well, just what sort of severance package is management prepared to offer me?
#qt0481932-b / read by Narmadha-83
Man, you are one twisted fuck.
#qt0481932-c / read by Shriram-60
Nope; I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose.
#qt0481932-d / read by Teja-84
Are you trying to look unattractive?
#qt0481916 / read by Shriram-60
I figured you guys might be able to give me some pointers. I need to shape up. Fast.
#qt0481924-a / read by Shriram-60
Are you just looking to lose weight, or do you want increased strength and flexibility as well?
#qt0481924-b / read by Acharya-92
Both my wife and daughter think I'm this gigantic loser and they're right.
#qt0481977-a / read by Shriram-60
I have lost something. I'm not exactly sure what it is but I know I didn't always feel this... sedated.
#qt0481977-b / read by Shriram-60
But you know what? It's never too late to get it back.
#qt0481977-c / read by Teja-84
Good. I'm looking for the least possible amount of responsibility.
#qt1444725 / read by Teja-84
No, actually it was great. All I did was party and get laid. I had my whole life ahead of me.
#qt0481961-a / read by Teja-84
This isn't life, it's just stuff. And it's become more important to you than living. Well, honey, that's just nuts.
#qt0481942 / read by Acharya-92
Smile! You're at Mr. Smiley's.
#qt0481920 / read by Shriram-60
In order to be successful, one must project an image of success at all times.

Oh well, all right, let's all sell our souls and work for Satan because it's more convenient that way.

She's not your friend. She's just someone you use to feel better about yourself.
#qt0481973 / read by Acharya-92
My dad thinks I paid for all this with catering jobs. Never underestimate the power of denial.
#qt0481941 / read by Shriram-60
Honey, I'm so proud of you. I watched you very closely, and you didn't screw up once!
#qt0481937 / read by Shriram-60
Well, I see you're smoking pot now.
#qt0481952-a / read by Shriram-60
I think using psychotropic drugs is a very positive example to set for our daughter.

You're one to talk, you bloodless, money-grubbing freak.
