Things You're Gonna Have to Live With
JUST THE FACTS 
Tags: life, peace, make, relax, used, mortality, Monday, sexual past, daily grind
These are some things you are just going to have to learn to live with. Make peace with it man!
| 1. | Her sexual past. As long as she didn't pick up anything communicable, think of it this way: You're the beneficiary of years of practice. |
| 2. | Your parents' fallibility. Your therapist is tired of hearing about the forced French horn lessons. Get over it, will ya? |
| 3. | Your own fallibility. Sometimes sucking at something but doing it anyway is fun (think dancing). |
| 4. | The knowledge that life has more violent swings than Barry Bonds. Denying it only makes it worse. Right, Barry? |
| 5. | That college rival/ex-girlfriend/ex-boss/jerk-who-cut-you-off-in-traffic you still resent. They don't deserve that level of devotion from you, do they? |
| 6. | Your lousy childhood. If you had lived in 1650, you'd have had a one-in-three chance of making it to 18. Being parked in front of Grover was a privilege. |
| 7. | The neighbors' holiday party. It's kind of like Canada: They serve crappy beer, they're boring, and they're always watching hockey. But attending creates a peaceful border. Suck it up. |
| 8. | Monday morning. Nothing makes for a killer Friday like a productive Monday. |
| 9. | Your rock-star fantasy. You know what comes with groupies? The clap. |
| 10. | |
| 11. | Your girlfriend's "flaw." Cut her a break. She endures your quirks, maybe even indulges them. Return the favor, and throw in a Herms bag. |
| 12. | The daily grind. Defend your priorities with a firm hand, and other people will stop setting them for you. |
| 13. | Mortality. Men stare death in the face with terror, with bravery, with incomprehension, with loathing, with honor, but we all still bite the dust. You will, too. But just in case, check back over Easter. |
