I don't care about the kids under 30. The funnier the better, and the older you are the more I want to know: what would you like to be when you grow up?
Achievable goals fall short of true potential.

I would have that. If not for the fact that no one around me seems to have any clue what's going on (either). You don't have to be perfect, no one is. Everyone knows no one is. But compared to the people around you, who are also putting up facades, maybe you're actually doing a pretty good job?
