First, my serious rules:
1. The Golden Rule (You can never go wrong with this one)
2. Don't go to sleep mad at the one you love
3. Work to live, don't live to work (There are far more important things in life)
Now, for my less serious, more light-hearted rules:
1. Bro's before ho's
2. It's better to be a smartass than a dumbass
3. Never trust a woman who says "no money, no honey"
