Death and Taxes...

The saying goes that in life there are only two things that you can be certain about, death and taxes. It is a somewhat comforting statement in an uncertain time. We lived in an era where people thought buying and selling homes like we used to sell candy to our relatives for some school organization, was a sound investment strategy. People watch the stock market like its a game of blackjack and that you should move your stocks daily. Fear, becomes our motivation.

That is more depressing than an economic depression. So, I would like to say that there are more things you can be certain about than death and taxes. Here is my list.

1. McDonald's will always sell a cheeseburger and I will always order it with no pickles and no onions.
2. Reality game shows like survivor and the Amazing Race should not show during the dinner hours of 7-8pm. *sound of gagging.*
3. I will always wonder how a chain smoker like Anthony Bourdain can also be a food critic. Smoking and taste buds don't mix.
4. I will always yell at the movie screen and close my eyes when the people go into a dark room or go walk alone down an abandoned road. ARE YOU CRAZY!
5. Oreo cookies are always better with milk.
6. Celebrities will always get divorced and magazines will always cover them on the front page and we will always say, "I could have told you that wasn't going to work out."
7. 100 calorie snack packs will never assuage my appetite for the real stuff.
8. Money doesn't make people kind or mean. They either are or they aren't.
9. I will never understand politics no matter how much I study or think about it.
10. I will always love my family and friends no matter how long we go without speaking or seeing one another.
