The Days Before Today Gave you Visions of Tomorrow+++
Our underlying theme remains one of looking at tomorrow with an intelligent viewpoint. And although it may seem like we seem to neglect the past, it couldn't be further from the truth. The lesson is one of subtle actions in response to what has happened, even though the future is independent of today and yesterday.

And this is how it begins, with a receipt of $13.50 at the dry cleaners for three ties. Not too short a while ago, that would have been incredulous, but this time, now, it's different. It's how it ought to be. $4.50 a tie is fine. In fact, $10 would have been dandy because ties are an investment for life. Ties are life.

(Alright, so graduate life isn't that corporate. To all my friends who are going into investment banking, I wish you the best. In fact, I have no choice but to wish you such now as I'll not see you for another two years minimum. Now, that is corporate.)

Going on, I have to say that the best reminder in life that we are people who strive for more is debt. In essense, we take on burden because we believe in our future. The more debt we have, the harder and loftier our aspirations, and by the end of the day, breaking even becomes a victory unto itself.

I'm highly leveraged as of now, so you may wonder why I spend that much on cleaning ties. Well, they're pretty and nice, and they will somehow, even if relatively insignificantly, have an outcome on where I am ten years down the road. Hell, even five. Or two.

Fucking ties. $4.50 a pop! Incredible.
