twenty-seven years and one million words
My girlfriend bought me a tempur mattress cover and pillow for Xmas. Last night was my first night sleeping on both. And man, the hype is true. When I awoke it was like being in some kind of suspension. Mmmmm, suspension.
It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
