Geld


Now, this quip does not reflect my actual hopes and dreams, and "demotivational" posters are usually a little more sarcastic than I like; however, I found this amusing. It is particularly applicable to my BYU acquaintances, many of whom seriously seem to want to challenge the old adage, "money can't buy everything." There is a relatively large population of students here who simply want to become rich. Wealth is their life goal. It's caused all sorts of "interesting" discussions and arguments recently. I find this depressing on so many levels. But I guess we all have our weaknesses. 

The Butterscotch Brownies I made yesterday were one of mine. That weakness was, however, consumed by  me and roommates & Co. while we watched Sabrina during the later hours of the day. It's a weakness I was sorry to be rid of. Epiphany! I now have sympathy for the aspiring wealthy...as long as they don't have a desire to date me.
