Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

The Fortunes Have Spoken

Tuesday, June 05, 2007

I was fortunate enough to have Chinese food the other day and - to my great surprise - in the obligatory fortune cookie I got not one but two fortunes! The first was this one:

You will inherit a large sum of money from an unexpected source.

Well, that would be a very unexpected source since all the sources I know of aren't set to have anything for me to inherit, if you know what I mean. However, I'm pretty sure the second fortune was the one meant for me:

You will have many friends when you need them.

Now that one is true. I have some of the greatest friends on the planet, and in that way I'm most *ahem* fortunate. I wouldn't trade this fortune in for the first one for any inheritance. (Well, maybe if it was super big...)
