eighty percent of success is showing up
I got this fortune in a cookie a few years ago (don't ask me how that happened - they don't usually give fortune cookies to Chinese people. Maybe I'm just that white-washed). Pretty much the coolest fortune-cookie fortune I have ever seen. Normally they are really lame, like "A kiss isn't a kiss without the heart" or some other bullshit which isn't actually predicting anything. It's called a "fortune" cookie, tell me my fortune, you play-it-safe bastards.
Anyway, this was right before I opened the video store and lost my safety-net of a day job, so I kept it in my wallet. I found it in there today, which is pretty amazing, considering how much junk goes in and out of that thing. So now it's on my fridge.
I hope that cookie wasn't bullshitting me. Or maybe I need to get off my ass and make that cookie proud.
