No, you outta your mind.
Besides, the only thing you can control in life is your wardrobe. Cars break down when you least expect it. Boats eat money and gas.

Is an out-of-control life challenge making you feel 'out of control' over your entire life? If so, stop lying around doing nothing. Stop sleeping late. Stop watching too much TV.
