Do you remember Justin Meyer in eighth grade? Jock, asshole, he used to fuck with me all the time? Dad, he told me… he said, “Guys like Justin… like, high school is the best it’s ever gonna get for them. They’re gonna peak in high school, and the rest of their life is just gonna be… a disappointment.” And that kids like me… that I would soar after high school. And, in fact, I would sit there, I would fast-forward and I would think about our high school reunion and seeing Justin, and he would just be this fat, balding guy who, you know, is the assistant manager at some sporting goods store, and… and I would be this famous actor who lives in LA or New York and I have this beautiful boyfriend. And I’m happy. Do you know I looked Justin up online? And do you know what he’s doing now? He’s an electrician, and he has two beautiful daughters and a pretty wife. And he’s happy. And it turns out that… it just turns out that I’m the one that peaked in high school.
