“I stared at the pictogram of a burger nestled between similar representations of shakes, sodas, and fries, on the front of my register. I wondered why humankind seemed so dead set on destroying all of its accomplishments. We draw on cave walls, spend thousands of years developing complex language systems, the printing press, computers, and what do we do with it? Create a cash register with the picture of a burger on it, just in case the cashier didn't finish the second grade. One step forward, two steps back-- like an evolutionary cha-cha. Working here just proved that the only thing separating me from a monkey was pants.”

“Curran gave me a flat look. "I can always drive to a burger joint instead." "Oh, so you'd throw a burger down my throat and expect making out in the back seat?"He grinned. "We can do it in the front seat instead, if you prefer. Or on the hood of the car.""I'm not doing it on the hood of the car." "Is that a dare?" Why me?”

“But I was right and the real world seemed increasingly nonsensical. Why train for years to do a job you bitched about all day? Didn't it make more sense to follow your dreams and maybe do a little good at the same time? I didn't want to be a lawyer or a bank manager or a goddamn burger flipper. We only get one life and I wanted mine to be exciting...”

“I’m trying to decideWhich way to goI think I made a wrong turn back there somewhereDidn’t cha know, didn’t cha knowTried to move but I lost my wayDidn’t cha know, didn’t cha knowStopped to watch my emotions swayDidn’t cha know, didn’t cha knowKnew the toll, but I would not payDidn’t cha know, didn’t cha knowCause you never know where the cards may layTime to save the worldWhere in the world is all the timeSo many things I still don’t knowSo many times I’ve changed my mindGuess I was born to make mistakesBut I ain’t scared to take the weightSo when I stumble off the pathI know my heart will guide me back”
