On my way back to my room following my accounting exam (I'm not even going to mention the fiasco that came of that "irregular" event), I was bumpin' this joint at full volume. This chick kept mean-muggin', but I ain't give a fuck; I got through my final unscathed and was tryna enjoy some Budden. Shit! I mean, Can I live? Anyway, this line from Mr. Budden stuck in my head and triggered another classic line. This one coming from the great warrior Achilles, between the pages of the archetype for all comedies (in the sense of best-case-scenario-feel-good stories), Homer's Odyssey:
"...never try to console me for dying. I would rather follow the plow as thrall to another man, one with no land allotted him and not much to live on, than be a king over all the perished dead."
All that to say, glory in death is no way equal to the worst day while alive. Keep your head up, and enjoy life... even if you did just fail an exam...
Just Be a Good Sport and slay these haters... figuratively, that is...

congratulations
Funny! live to endure one more painful day. But for real I feel you. Give me liberty or give me death- it really isn't that deep.
