My roommate recently landed a job in Aspen for the winter (we live in Iowa) and will be working/skiing/smoking weed for the entirety of the December.

It really got me stoked to see what opportunities could possibly be just around the corner.

So NS, what great opportunities have you been blessed with?

I'm still alive which depending on the day is an great opportunity.

Really nothing. The only great opportunity I can think of was a modeling deal that I ended up flaking on because I was at a weird time in my life.

Everything else has been just make it happen with shit tons of resistance. Have some good things happened? sure but I wouldn't call them great opportunities. That said hopefully my luck will change.

I would love to have one of those "OMG THIS IS SO SICK I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT" moments. Well at least one where it isn't my girl texting me that she took another test and she isn't actually pregnant.

About the best thing that's happened to me so far was not becoming dead due to an intoxicated car accident.

Other than that I've pretty much been passing up everything else.

Also, even though I don't support him at all, I had the privilege of marching in Obama's 2008 inaugural parade...back when I was optimistic for him.

Were you yelling "We want change! Woooohoooo"

For future reference nothing really changes on election day. I bet the parade was sweet.

I almost went down to see the dead play at the inauguration or whatever in PA. Couldn't bring myself to do it though and hoped for a tour(which they did in the spring) I couldn't be mad at phil lesh because he's old and ingested a lot of stuff over the years on the road. Was kind of sad though.
