[sarcasm]Good point... this thread should be deleted because the OP didn't add a link to the comic![/sarcasm]

For the record, it's:

The archive can be accessed from the top-left of the homepage, ShadowLurker.


And conveniently, this comic relates fairly closely to how I feel right now. I keep thinking of times past, regretting all those little decisions that I should've considered a little more, and thinking about all the great things that could've happened to me right now... missing a chance is never a good idea.

I hereby vow to make as much of my life as possible, starting (and continuing) with the here and now. Yeah, look to the future, but remember that the future has a past, too.

EDIT'd to add sarcasm tags...

Er... the OP is Randall. And this thread apparently predates those rules. Hence my amazement at the bottom of page 1.

Cheese, I think you need to edit some sarcasm tags into your post. ;-)

I should've done that, yeah...
Well, I've fix'd it now - thanks for the heads up.

What exactly is Connor's second thesis?

Sorry to bump up such an old comic, I was just really curious, and this is a goodie anyway!

I could not live all of my days in a futile loop, staring at xkcd and aimlessly browsing the fora, so I had to join.

HAD to.

I LOVED this comic... and then the other night I did weed for the first time. That was my "jolt".

It's like it's all clear now. Even after the effects wore off, I still have this new sense of truth and purpose.

Yay for XKCD!

I printed this out and it's one of the only decorations in my dorm (pinned up right on my desk next to where my laptop sits). I love this, I really do.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but if you're going to correct people's grammatical assumptions, you might want to learn to spell "prescriptivist". ;)

Surely a prescriptivist tells you what you should write, while a proscriptivist tells you what you shouldn't.
