Quotes by Josh Gunderson (?)

“I can personally testify that roughly 90% of my adult life has been spent on Google trying to figure out how to do stuff.”
― Josh Gunderson, You're Doing It Wrong: A Mixtape Memoir

tags: adulthood, adulthood-humor, humor, millenial

“If there is one thing that I absolutely love, it’s opening a nice bottle of wine, popping in a depressing movie about lost love, dead animals or anything involving war, and having a good old-fashion, ugly snot-cry.”
― Josh Gunderson, You're Doing It Wrong: A Mixtape Memoir

tags: adulthood-humor, humor, lgbt

“Don’t tell me that I can’t write a memoir just because I’m not world famous. I mean, when you really break it down I’m the most famous person currently sitting in my living room. The point is that I don’t like people telling me what I can’t do.”
