Here's the list for 2008, as I recall it:
- From a distance, bravery and stupidity can look pretty much the same.
- Don't leave a hammer on top of your ladder... when you are going to stand under the ladder and move it.
- A bad day playing guitar is better than a good day in a cubicle.
- Never underestimate the Speed of Stupid. e=mc2/IQ
- Never go to your bee hives to feed your bees wearing sandals. And, if you do, don't spill the sugar syrup on your feet.
- One bee INSIDE your bee suit is much more dangerous that 50,000 outside of your suit.
- An angry bee can fly faster than you can run... with a bee suit wadded up around your ankles.
- A backhoe is not a toy.
- Covering your Check Engine light with black tape is NOT the same as fixing the car.
- That guy in Nigeria with $30 million to split with me probably doesn't have the money, but he is awfully fun to mess with via email.
- A lousy craftsman blames his tools. A bad musician blames his instrument.
- Take the time to seek the silence between the notes.
- Lighten up. Seriously.
- There is no better gift than love, but hospitality is a close second.
- If you don't understand unconditional love, let my dog sit in your lap for a minute.
- Even your worst enemy has a best friend... somewhere.... Can you believe that? (but he's probably an asshole too)
- Embrace the crazy.
- The art of music is not learning a foreign language, but discovering my native tongue that had been inadvertently misplaced.
- Have some guts, why don't 'cha? No body ever got anywhere cool by being safe.
- Working your tail off does not guarantee success, but sitting on your ass does guarantee failure.
Please enjoy the rest of this lame-duck month as we roll head-long into 2009!
