Not-so-wise

Oh gosh, if there's something I've learnt over the years is that when I start feeling overly wise, I should just back down and humble up.

There's always something I'll be going on about in an overly philosophical manner, trying to prove something I'm not entirely too sure of myself, and all the while having the superiority complex of someone who's presumably learnt, seen and thought more of these things, who's more mature --

It's good I have that certain friend who, while younger than me, always knows how to patiently make me be quiet and observant again (speaking of which, where is he when you desperately need him?).

p.s. My back is positively trying to commit suicide while it's still attached to me. It kinda hurts.
