the city of los angeles is made up of a plethora of freeways. thus, i am always on them. and while in my car, or on my motorcycle - i notice the cars. being a man of smashing good taste, i especially take notice of the luxury cars. now one thing has irked me for quite some time. on most of these cars - usually BMW's, benz's, or lexus' - on the license plate, the driver's alma mater is presented. and in most cases, the school is either USC or UCLA. now i'm thinking, "how come none of these ever say UCSD?" of course the logical explanation is that we are in the city of LA (duh), and therefore these 2 schools would be the most represented... and vice versa, if we were in SD, UCSD would be more highly displayed. yet, a part of me doesn't believe that wholly. i want to believe that since both USC and UCLA are more prestigious schools than my alma mater - they probably have better networking, connections, intership programs that allow for better jobs in more distinguished companies.

so to conclude with all this... i wish i did better in high school, then i would have attended a more 'prestigious' college, through that 'pretigious' college... i would have had more opportunities to 'succeed' (getting a better job), through 'succeeding' i would be able to afford houses around the world... travel all the time... and cruise to work in my BMW M5, all the while making some guy with a paycheck of measley pinto beans driving a peach civic, jealous.

alas, that is life.

and as the word says in hebrews 13:5, "keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'never will i leave you; never will i forsake you.'" ahhhhhhhhh... i needed that reminder. :D
