Just a fraction of what I sent out

This is not an April fool’s prank or whatsoever, besides that was yesterday.

I am too grown up for that shiit!

Around this time last year, I was looking for a fun project to take on. I did some research and top on my lists were:

1. Learn to code and create a page where people can come write the things to do when you are *bored, *sad, *heartbroken, et al.

2. Learn how to do card tricks really well. I started and stopped.

3. Take a picture of something that made me smile everyday. Unfortunately, I have never been faithful to everyday challenges/routine.

4. Write to 100 companies asking for free stuff.

I went for the fourth option as I could not be bothered enough to learn how to code well enough. I would not write or mail any letter until late September or so.

Procrastination is a bitch.
