Rule 22a of the universe: Brent(Darksheare) can never win.

This is seen in my attempts to gain and maintain weight, and in any effort I undertake to say, learn to fly.
Everything will be fine UNTIL I SAY I have learned to fly.
THEN Rule 22a takes effect and things go haywire.
Or, for example, I learn to scuba dive.
Everything will be okay UNTIL I STATE that I have learned to scuba dive.
At which point an octopus comes out of nowhere and attempts to squeeze my head.

Learning to fly is easy.

All you have to do is throw yourself at the ground, and miss.

I've experienced that rule! :) The first time I went to test for my scuba diving certification, it was October and the water was very cold, and I ended up having a bad experience with near-hypothermia and pressure damage to my right ear. I got my certification on a later dive, but now I can't enjoy it because the hypothermia experience makes me averse to cold water and the damage to my ear keeps me from diving deeper than about 10-15 feet! So these days it's snorkeling in the summer only for me :(
