The Overview

Good morning, heroes.

If you open your textbook, you have already failed this course. You should have hocked the textbook for beer money, after you've ripped out about 100 pages to write your number on, and used the rest as a paddle on some willing young thing.

So, here we are. The practical, useful lessons one will need to learn in order to become...your own rockstar superhero. You can be a virtuous gospel angel, or a seedy heavy metal vixen. It's your choice, but you should have the background before you make any of those kinds of decisions.

OBJECTIVES:
I. Sack Up Ho
II. Grab It

These are the only two rules you will ever need. These statements often come couched in different language: "Do one thing that makes you afraid", or "go confidently in the direction of your dreams", or "keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars". Any of these. They're cool and all, but I'm a fan of angry brevity in my life-guiding tenets. I mean, when you watch those medical procedure dramas, and something is all life-and-death, you don't hear flowery  prose. It's all "200 cc's of HVLCT STAT and get me a portable chest! Charging to 160! CLEAR!" Otherwise the guy dies on the table.

So think of me as your Dr. McGrabIt, and you are NOT going to die on me today, you hear me, ho?

So, without any further ado, we will start with Lesson One, next.
