Is Contagion that one, where Matt Damon has the disease but lives? I watched some disease movie last year and that’s the only thing I remember. Also shout out for Ninth Gate. Rarely see that one mentioned. Overall we have a very similar taste.

I spend like 200 per year on lottery tickets. I know that the odds of ever winning big are close to zero, but it’s like a guilty pleasure that let’s me dream a bit. Like a cheaper movie ticket.
Visibly and audibly throw up in your mouth after she removes the mask.

I loved WoW when it first came out. It was a nice big world and I love exploring. And meeting people from around the world was nice too. But I found it way too grindy and left at around level 27 or so and never returned.

You are not as fat as you imagine
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing Bubblegum.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements
Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t
Get plenty of calcium
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t Maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t Maybe you’ll divorce at 40 Maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either.

Be nice to your siblings; they are your best link to your past and the People most likely to stick with you in the future
Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you Should hold on Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft
Travel
Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old-- and when you do, you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders
Respect your elders
Don’t expect anyone else to support you
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you’re 40, it will look 85
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth
But trust me on the sunscreen
Where do you go that accepts 1M in cash without calling the cops? And who manages to count that much money? And who won’t call the cops if the money suddenly vanishes?
You wouldn’t’ve.
Correct.
