I thought I could start over, you see. But now I know you can never start over. Not really. You think you have control, but you are like a fly in somebody elses web. Sometimes I think thats why I like accounting. All day, you are only dealing with numbers. You add them, multiply them, and if you are careful, you will always have a solution. Theres a sequence there. An order. With numbers, you can have control.
