Quote of the Day...

Last night, I hung out with my friend Brian. Brian is happy with his car and no payments (yea!), but his car is older, and would like a newer one. First it was a Subaru WRX all souped up, then it was a Moped (no joke, at first... I suggested pink), then it was a Denali, then it was an Escalade (yeah, right!), then it was a 2005 Jeep Cherokee. Now it is a motorcycle. Something of a mix between a Harley and a crotch-rocket. When I asked him what was up with all these ideas and flops, he said my quote of the day:
"Too much commitment"
I shortly gave him a "Yeah, I know your prob with commitment..." look.
And here's my response: Whats your prob with commitment? Nothing good out of life comes without it. I would not have my Jetta, which I have emense fun & look cute in, without my small price to pay every month. I think it is a great trade. You would not find the love of your life without a little commitment and the sacrifice of something. Same with a house. If you didn't make a commitment to leave your job for 2 weeks, and sacrifice the pay, how would you travel, see the world, gain new experiences, make new memories with your friends in Portland?Life is not life without sacrifice or commitment. So, my true response is this:
"You are a chicken, Mr. Security. Buy your car and your passenger too."
Let this be an enlightment unto you on this day.
(I welcome any and all interpretations/ insights on this)

First of all a motorcycle as your only transportation in this area is an extremely bad idea, I say go for the Jeep. It sounds to me like its not so much the commitment but the decision making, he doesn't know what he wants, so you be the man step it up make the decision and ask him out yourself, what do you got to loose. Strong women can be hot too. DO IT! DO IT! (peerr pressure)DO IT! DO IT!
