is stupid enough to do as stupid does while beholding beauty to start with;
because life is like a box of chocolates and, life, like a box of chocolates, is only shitty if you take all of it in at once. If you give it time, slow down, and enjoy every part instead of rushing through it, you'll really enjoy it. Then again, ex-girlfriends are like a box of chocolates, they'll kill your dog.

In other words, in a word, THANKS!
