Deliver me from Swedish furniture.Deliver me from clever art......May I never be complete.May I never be content.May I never be perfect.

Sometimes you do something, and you get screwed. Sometimes it's the things you don't do, and you get screwed.

Just for the record, knowing when people are only pretending to like you isn't such a great skill to have.

Deliver me from Swedish furniture.
Deliver me from clever art...
...May I never be complete.
May I never be content.
May I never be perfect.
