What's the matter with you? Wake up on the wrong side of the Netherlands this morning? Yeesh.

Believe me Kaiser, there is merit to having a plan, or at least a somewhat premeditated outlook on these matters. I haven't had that many girlfriends compared to others, but the ones I did have were all first class. Never had a bush pig or a heifer in my life. They were all either very pretty, very intelligent, or both. Hell, one was halfway through her PhD and had this luscious body... sigh I got 'er.

Affairs of the heart demand great care and introspection. Why go into a situation that risks weeks if not months of a broken heart without a plan? You wouldn't buy a new TV without a plan so why would you risk your vital organs and emotional well being without one?

The point of having things in order means you lessen the risk and heighten the gain while at least attempting to control the circumstances. There is so much in the situation that will surprise you no matter what you do, so why not be prepared. That doesn't mean don't be spontaneous. A plan is merely a common base for changes.
