Dammit. Dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit.

I missed 3,000. I missed 4,000. I missed 4,200. And I promised myself -- promised myself -- that I would not miss 4,242. I swore it. Because after that, there are no numbers that matter anymore. Not even 5,000 matters as much as 4,242.

But I missed it.

Gods, I suck.

I don't know.. seems to me that it's the kind of thing where it's like.. "hey, that's kind of neat", but it doesn't have any great universal importance.

And really, if you think about it, aside from 4242, it's a pretty arbitrary thing to begin with.. why do we put so much significance on numbers that are big and round? Comment number 5000 is just as significant as number 4999, and number 5001.

Hey, cool, I've got comment number 7,579!
