T.J.'s Rules For Living

Listen carefully. I don't want to repeat myself.

1- Don't take life too seriously. After all, no one gets out of it alive.
2- If you can't count on your family, they suck. If they can't count on you, you suck.
3- Don't worry about money. It makes things easier to deal with when you don't have any. When you do have money, be generous. It makes it easier for other people to help you out when you're broke.
4- Never forget the people who helped you get where you are. You may need a job reference down the road and if you treat them like shit, they'll remember it.
5- There is only so much fun you can have with two Legos.
6- Chocolate makes people happy. Dark chocolate makes me happy.
7- No matter where you sit or who is playing, always bring your glove to the ballpark.
8- Have all the fun you want, just get your work done, too.
9- Just because you are "grown up" doesn't mean you can't watch cartoons or have a nap after your milk and cookies.
10- Remember the first time you heard about Dinosaurs. Don't lose that child-like sense of awe. No matter how much you've seen, you haven't seen everything.
11- If it takes you longer to wait for a bus than to walk to where you need to go, walk.
12- If life starts to overwhelm you, just stop it. If it continues, stop it or I'll bury you alive in a box.
13- Make your own rules, then live by them. Except when they need to be broken.

So I been busy, give me a break.

OK.
I've had fish and chips twice now. Neither time did they have actual English-style chips, which is what I'd really like. I also had a great bowl of clam chowder from a place that sells it half off after 2 p.m. These things are very good to know.

Also, found out that I get reimbursed for my bus pass. Sweet, eh?

Interviewed Static-X.
Saw a group called The Raveonettes.

This will be a short week because I'm headed to Eugene, Ore., for the graduations of my sister and brother-in-law. They are getting Master's degrees so it is kind of a big deal.

Catch you all later.

I've been in Seattle 2 weeks now...

...and I still haven't had fish & chips.
Soon, though. Soon I shall have fish and chips.
