When In Rome...

I'm not a huge fan of cliche sayings like 'if the boot fits,' 'all is fair in love and war,' or 'Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive;' and I especially hate the saying 'when in Rome.' But, for this post, I'm going to make a list of a few 'when in Rome' for sures....

 

When in Rome:

• Never rely on the Italian Postal Service to get your debit card to you in time like you are paying them to do because it is only commonsense for someone to do what you pay them to do, and God forbid anyone in Italy be commonsensical.
• Always have more nutella than you think is necessary because one day you will not have money nor a means to accruing money for a full week, and it is at this time that nutella will be your best friend and lunch everyday. 
• Befriend girls by using wit, charm, and rugged good looks so that when the week long no-card-no-money-hunger-bug bites you can call upon them to prepare you a meal (i.e. Melissa Abate)
• Have an imagination. Having an imagination will help get you through the arduous times of the week long no-card-no-money-hunger-bug plague due to the fact that you can just pretend you are a fasting holy man on a holy crusade; or that water is in fact 3 cheese enchiladas with beans and rice; or that your headphones really do taste wonderful as you chew on them while talking to Morghann Milburn via Skype video chat.
• Heed the wisdom filled words of Bing Crosby and 'Count your blessings instead of sheep,' so that you might fall asleep counting your blessing while fighting off the hunger pains of the week long no-card-no-money-hunger-bug. What might your blessings be in a time as dark as this? Your blessings include, but are not limited to: weight loss (a tight face with a right waist), new friends of the hobo sort, money saved (you can't spend money if you don't have money), an appreciation for the simple things such as food, and a new found desire to steal from local street markets. 

I close with this: When in Rome do whatever you can to prevent the no-card-no-money-hunger-bug. Talk to your parents today about NOT activating your permanent bank card without telling you to pull out enough cash to last you until the new card arrives in the shitty Italian mail. And remember kids... only you can prevent forest fires.
