April 25, 2003. Thursday.

While parked at a supermarket in Albuquerque, NM, I was cutting 35-cent coupons off the V8 Splash Smoothie bottles. Funny how I can lose hundreds of dollars within hours playing blackjack, but here I am trying to save 35 cents on the next purchase. If I reexamined life at this very moment, I may find it's full of hypocrisy, paradox, and insanity. Insanity is paying millions for a self-portrait of Van Gogh with a missing ear. Maybe I am an insane person living in an insane world- then that would make me at least normal. Okay, I feel much better knowing I am rational; better save these coupons.
