I guess we're outwardly projecting our own feelings of suicidal angst today, guest 7?

Parking spaces? Really? Of all the reasons I want people to off themselves, it never occurred to me that they should do it so I can save 10 steps from my tape-decked Geo Metro to the front doors of HEB.

we could kill ourselves and free up some parking spaces OR go to grad school and eventually end up with a fantastic, soul crushing, over-paying job that allows us to buy SUVs that take up two parking spaces... god the choices are killing me.

Thanks guest #3. I just peed a little bit. And yes, this fellow is the consummate baby born between 1975 and 1985 - all of the opportunity in the world and absolutely no direction. I count myself among his kind, but luckily, was plucked out of the sammich making world (or in my case, hotel whoring world) by a beatific software executive for a non-soul-sucking-decent-pay-desk-job.

Maybe he will be a legal 'hero'. If he passes his sandwich boards. He could even adviser to the Count of Monte Cristo.

He did appear to be the legal type (English major, existential, probably thinks money is cool). Perhaps he will finance his way through and beyond The Bar one sammich at a time?

That dude's story is very, very, very Austin. Eventually, though, he will go to grad school. Possibly law school, which dad will pay for.
