Jackass of Notoriety

Several years ago my sister wrote me an email in which she comforted me during my mid-twenties career crisis. In it she wrote:

"It can be overwhelming when you are smart, healthy, resourceful, and capable--it's a lot of pressure to do something grand. I have managed to avoid this by smoking expensive weed and sitting on my couch...At least you have already mastered the three most important things in life: being a kind and loving person, helping others, and dressing well."

I found the email a few days ago, and upon reading it again my sister noted:

"At least I had a sense of humor and I'll be remembered for SOMETHING...I may be a total jackass, but at least I'm a jackass of notoriety!"
