Think of all the people that you know or have heard of, who do stupid, obnoxious, insane things. You know the ones. The people who do stuff just so they have a good story to tell, so they seem more interesting.

Now strip them of their stunts, of all the crazy things they do. Count how many of them are actually incredibly dull people when you get down to the core.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Bottom line: you can pull as much stupid crap as you want, and you can make everyone, including yourself, think that this makes you interesting. But the more worthwhile people are the ones who are interesting without all the dressings. Substance over style, folks.
