Question: what makes everything "worth it"?
Yeah, yeah, the best answer would be "contrast". Without bad times, you can't recognize the good. But Christ, the bad times totally blow. So how do you place value on the good times?
Is it simply a matter of comparison?
Is it based upon how close you can get to long-term goals?
Is it whether or not you can pay your rent?
What really matters to people, as a whole? How do they find a way to look at the shit they're wading through and say to themselves, "Self, this is all going to be okay. Because, clearly, you're succeeding with [insert measure of success/achievement/value here],"?
It's all so beyond me.
Though, they do say that your worst critic is yourself. Honestly, these days, that isn't much consolation.
Xoxo.
There's nothing worse than getting dog in your eye.

Man-whore. Desperate man-whore.
You know, all personal, incessant chatter aside, I've realized something as of late.
James Bond was a slut.
Yes, everyone has some awareness that this is true. Though, as sad as it is to admit, I've only ever seen two James Bond films (don't judge me).
The two films I've seen are Dr. No and the newer Casino Royale. I refuse to watch any Pierce Brosnan Bond flick because I think it would be like watching Hugh Grant trying to be a badass.
I started watching Live and Let Die, and was quite surprised at Bond. Yes, Sean Connery gave this guy the go-ahead for the project... but to swap out all the cards in some chicks tarot deck for the "lovers" card just to get laid? Can you imagine how many decks of tarot cards that poor bastard had to buy to pull that off?
Maybe it's the fact that I'm a female, and have never felt the need to resort to those tactics, but seriously? He couldn't have just pulled the, "I'm a secret agent," charm? Or brought enough alcohol via room service to make himself seem extra-attractive to the pent-up, tarot-reading medium? Are you feeling a bit desperate, Bond?
Maybe (obviously) I need to watch more Bond. But I feel like there's no way Connery would ever have to, or even consider it an option to try so hard to get a little Bond girl action.
At least this Bond has one thing going for him. He drinks whiskey.
