Allow me to tell you something that really made my day.

This afternoon I drove by a middle-aged man driving around in a convertible with the roof down. It's about ten degrees above zero and half storm, but he's still doing it. I personally couldn't understand why anyone would do it in such weather, but I tried to accept that maybe he enjoys getting his ears freezed to cold blackness. Then it started raining... You know the kind of rain that's so heavy you drop several miles below the speed-limit and have trouble seeing your wind-shield wiper? Yes, that kind of rain.

I've never made cupcakes in my life. I've looked at different variations a million times but I've never actually made any of my own. Ever. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that it seems like such a waste of resources if they'd be fucked up on the first try. Yes, I know that practice makes perfect, but I want perfection now! I want to skip the whole part of working on it and just make it perfect straight away. Of course, that won't happen. Mostly because that kind of thing hasn't been invented yet. Would be rather boring though, being the best at everything as soon as you use the thingie. And it would be available for everyone so you wouldn't be alone at being the best either. I'm not sure I like that. I mean, surely the whole point of being the best is being the best. Number one. The one on top.

I guess I just have to work harder and practice more. As a friend of mine asked "why don't you start with modelling clay?". I don't know... it's never occured to me...
