WOW....

I finally found someone that is a lot worse off than me.

Yeah, I know that they existed.... my life is still better than 98% of the world's population... just never actually talked to someone directly.

What sucks is that I actually was kinda happy while talking to him.

Part of me feels bad about that, but another part of me is feeling pretty good saying to me "SEE!"
