Out to Karaoke, Please Leave a Message
GAY.W.O.L.: Friend who has come out of the closet recently and in the same fell swoop, mysteriously off of your social calendar and out of your life.

"Some Day" is not Today
It is true. Some day you will wake up and say "Wow. I've been doing X for a decade (or more)." This likely won't happen tomorrow, however.

Do Your Own Thing, Inc.
To the young punks and thugs: Just so you know, being independent and doing your own thing can include agreeing with other people.

What's In A Name
Yeah, there are probably a lot of good reasons to not legally change your name like:
- legal cost
- suspicion of a criminal past from those who accept applications and credit forms from you in the future
- that whole disrespect of your parents thing
- even though your name might be embarrassing to you, there are many cultures and people who do not understand your name or know what it means
Perhaps a less obvious reason is the idea that even though your name is embarrassing, it has (along with your family) somehow survived all this time. While famous and powerful families have pedigree and legacy and legend, you at least have tenacity and an origin, even if it sounds like you clean tiolets for a living.

The More You Know, The More You Know You Don't Know
Interesting how the people that know the most are the quickest to admit what they don't know.
