Every city, from New York to California, has developments that are or were once called master-planned before or after being built.
Master-planned buildings are in every city, they're both new and old, there were master-planned buildings being built long before World War 2.

When you get to head home and go to bed early if you want to without feeling like you're missing out on something, or feeling like a loser, ashamed of not being out doing something.
Aging is part of life, there's no sense in trying to stay stuck in your early 20's forever mentally.

The joke said he/she hopped freight trains to Kansas and back to work at age 5 to try and outdo his/her reality show competition. Really the joke was full of shit.

Theres no such thing as cautious optimism. Cautious optimism is cynicism. Thinking the sky is going to fall and trying to look forward to the little bit of good left in things before it does is cynicism. Really, having a bucket list is cynicism, since even though it becomes more likely that you'll die soon when you get older, once the mystery isnt there you're not really living anyway, you're just trying to live the rest of your days as an adrenaline junkie before the crash at the end, to go out with a bang, that's cynicism. Most thoughts disguised as positive are really cynical by nature.
Fuck positive thoughts and people, they think the end is a crash and it becomes one for everybody else too. There is no cautious optimism.

Everything about Paulie was dysfunctional, he was impotent around the opposite sex. Erectile dysfunction was just a surface symptom.

Something an underdog really has while pretending not to. People would rather the underdog triumph than the one described as the favorite.
He/she was full of shit by calling himself/herself an underdog, but knew that he/she could gain an advantage on an opposing person/team by calling himself/herself an underdog, or claiming that he/she had lower odds overall. Really, since he/she was playing all sides, he/she could always end up on the side that triumphed, as long as people allowed it.
