You Can Have It All

Published on by benalp2013Leave a comment

Who says you can’t have it all? I disagree. You can have it all – as long as having it all means:

  • Having all the banana cream pie you can eat in one sitting.
  • Having debilitating side effects from consuming all the banana cream pie you can eat in one sitting.
  • Having a different beautiful woman each night, in all probability one gorgeous gal with multiple personalities.
  • Having countless beautiful homes in which to squat.
  • Having the love and adoration of your children who are unaware you’ve squandered their trust fund on lottery tickets.
  • Having the man of your life/pool cleaner who also has a valid green card.
  • Having the freedom to define success on your terms and not the parole board’s.
