knowledge
Now, in my years (I just cracked the age of 32 last week) I've picked up on some wisdom.
Some of this can be boiled down to a few general truths, other times it's a bit more tangible and specific.
Tonight I offer three of the latter.
Skimping.
Don't ever skimp on the following items.
1. Aluminum Foil. Do not get the shit off-brand that's 89 cents less than your tried and true Reynolds Wrap. You fuck around with this rule, and you deserve 89% lesser quality foil.
2. Cookware. Now, you don't need at $600.00 10 piece set of All Clad Triple Ply cookware. But, don't get yourself the $11.99 twelve inch frying pan at Albertons. You deserve to scorch your balls and your eggs if you do.
3. A paper shredder. I recently violated this rule, and spent a little less than I should have on a shredder. I went for something that can shred cd roms and up to eight sheets of paper. The fact that I've already had to pick out stuck bits of paper even once is one too many times. Next time, I'm getting one that can shred binders and my wife's Vanity Fair annual fashion issue without skipping a beat.
