I start nearly every day with 1 to 4. I've been too unemployed and/or broke for 5 until this Monday, and it's still another week to payday.

1. Everyone is equal.
2. I owe you.
3. You owe me.
4. I am who I was.
5. I will be who I am.

I think I'll let Robert Graves, that noble Poet, answer your question:
"In Broken Images" by Robert Graves
He is quick, thinking in clear images;
I am slow, thinking in broken images.
He becomes dull, trusting to his clear images;
I become sharp, mistrusting my broken images,
Trusting his images, he assumes their relevance;
Mistrusting my images, I question their relevance.
Assuming their relevance, he assumes the fact,
Questioning their relevance, I question the fact.
When the fact fails him, he questions his senses;
When the fact fails me, I approve my senses.
He continues quick and dull in his clear images;
I continue slow and sharp in my broken images.
He in a new confusion of his understanding;
I in a new understanding of my confusion.

I wish I could insist, but as I'm single I kind of have to do them.
Or I could just leave it for tomorrow, yeah I think I'll do that

Been there, think we all have.
Problem is tomorrow they are even harder to face. Sometimes it's easier just to wait until they evolve into a creature capable of doing the dishes!

I have that, I call it my 'dishwasher'
But I still have to put the dishes into it and turn it on, maybe if I wait long enough they'll jump into it by them self?
I'll have to give that a try
(Why do I now suddenly have the words 'mad scientist' in my head? )

No, "Mad Scientist" would be when you start implanting electrodes in your dog's head, so you can control it to load the dishwasher! (And "Evil Genius" is when it's the neighbours you implant)

I would never hurt a dog, I think I'll skip that step and go straight for the 'Evil Genius' badge

I don't know about dishes, but I had a fridge nearly become sentient; think Dirk Gentley's fridge for how bad it got.

How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

I live in India, which is covered in the list.
But, nothing special here. Just another day. Did not even notice this till a colleague (male) of mine pointed out.

The teacher asks the kids in her 3rd grade class: "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Little Kevin says: "I wanna start out as a Marine Pilot, then be a billionaire, go to the most expensive clubs, find me the finest hooker, give her a Ferrari worth over a million bucks, an apartment in Copacabana, a mansion in Paris, a jet to travel throughout Europe, an Infinite Visa Card, and all the while banging her like a loose screen door in a hurricane."
The teacher, shocked, and not knowing what to do with this horrible response from little Kevin, decides not to acknowledge what he said and simply try to continue with the lesson . . . .
"And how about you, Sarah?"
"I wanna be Kevin's hooker!"
Will Rogers never met me.

But he forgot the part where at night in the dark shadows he wants to be the Hero Gotham needs and not the one Gotham wants. Sarah can be his accomplish at night and in his bed I guess
