For reals

1. Like what you like
2. There's a big difference between making an honest mistake and being disrespectful
3. I'll tell this one as a bit of an anecdote; I've always said that I have trouble watching shows like 'Cops' or 'Party Heat' because I always find myself screaming at the TV "JUST BE NICE! BEEEEEE NIIIIIIICE."

I like like what you like. I also like 'be nice', and waiting to see if someone is making an honest mistake before deciding they're disrespecting you sounds like a pretty good idear. Good rules.

#3) Keep your family and business completely seperated.
#2) Never let em know your next move.
#1) If you ain’t got the clientele say hell no.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
1. Don't say you'll do something and then not do it.  If you're not sure you can do it, don't agree to it yet.

2. Life's too short to stick your nose up at stuff because of what you think other people might think about it. 

3. Everything in moderation, including moderation itself.

1) Treat others the way you want to be treated.

2) Live every day like it's your last, (because it may be).

3) There are no problems, only opportunities ... make the most of every one.

mine is from the book Chapters of the Fathers, lots of good stuff.
here is my top 3:
1. "What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow"
2. "Who is rich? He who is happy with his lot”
3. "Who is the wise person? One who learns from all people"

I agree with all these rules. In moderation. Except sometimes.


1) Treat others the way you want to be treated.

2) Live every day like it's your last, (because it may be).

3) There are no problems, only opportunities ... make the most of every one.

Aw you guys are too good for me. Can't knock them, although I think there is a certain charm to 'never play cards with a man named after a city'.

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"

Dead it, IP.  Just dead it and forget it.

In that case, you may want to break rule #3 from my serious list.  ;D

Don't mess with mama bear
Don't feed the bears and don't ever count out Da Bears
Don't bring picnic baskets to places with smarter than average bears or film them up real close for long periods of time because you may end up a piece of pop trivia
