Today is my birthday and here are the things I have learned

In my 47 years, I have learned this.

Sometimes it is better to be lucky then good.
(Really its true)

The truth is often way weirder then fiction.

Beware of anybody who says “this is going to (or has) hurt me
more then you” They are lying.

Also beware of anybody who says “you’ll thank me for this later”
Perhaps but after a wholelotta cursing them out in between.

The check is never, ever in the mail.

A mom can be your best friend or worst enemy.

The same could be said of your family.

The only true friend in the universe is a dog,
and then only if you feed them every day.
Moral of story, Even the most selfless friend still needs feeding.

Beware of somebody who say that “they have your best interest in mind”
They don’t.

Barry Bonds does not look good in a wig.

The hardest lesson I ever learned is this, figuring out who has
the problem is the hardest and most important lesson I ever had.
In any situation, someone has the problem, make sure its not
you and never, never, make their problem, your problem.
Know who has the problem. First order of business in every
situation.

The universe is not after you…
It doesn’t care enough to go after you personally.
It just seems like it sometimes.

Men and women have totally different agenda’s
and don’t even have a common point of reference.
Men are from mars and women are from… god’s know where?
The only point they connect is in the bedroom and even that
is sometimes.

Be careful of what you ask for, you might get it.

It doesn’t really seem like it, but we do get the life we deserve.

Shit happens. But its ok because it also happens to the other
6 billion people on earth too. Today is just your day for shit.

And on the back side, good happens, but its okay because
it also happens to the other 6 billion people in earth too.
Today is just your day for good.

And in any case, no matter what day it is, the universe says,
hay, its nothing personal. Just doing my job.

No matter what happens, don’t take life seriously.
I took something serious in ohhhh, 1978,
during the Carter administration. Haven’t made
that mistake since then.

And the final lesson I have learned.
From the day you are born to the day you die,
all you have is yourself, so you may has well
learn to like yourself. You are stick with yourself
all your life.

Happy Birthday Kropotkin

Happy Birthday indeed, Mr Peter Kropotkin. All the best.

Oh, and as good old Ivan puts it : “Первая - колом, вторая - соколом, а третья - мелкой пташечкой.”

Cheers

I thank everyone for their kind words and comments.
I got a Ipod nano for my birthday. Now given my total incompetence
with all things video and electronic, I shall be spending the next
month trying to figure out how this dam thing works. I spent all
of yesterday and it still doesn’t work. God, I hate the modern world.
Give me the old fashion days where all you had to figure was how to
make the horse start and stop.

And a note for mr derleydoo, I am a middle age suburban
white boy, we don’t dance, we do the white boy shuffle.
