Just read a great quote in Dave Grohl’s book ‘The Storyteller’: “Life is too damn short to let other people’s opinions steer the wheel”.
Thought I’d share it as it’s, well, true.
Do you have any music-related reading you can recommend?

When Life gives you lemons…
…take a massive bite out of that lemon, never breaking eye contact. That’ll show Life that you’re not to be messed with.

When I had roommates in the past we had what I referred to as Mutually-Assured Embarrassment. None of us would mock or complain at any of the others over sex noise because that would open the door for them to do likewise.
Find roommates who are as horny and slutty as you are.

Life advice:
When you’re talking to someone, and you think they might be lying, do not yell “INSIGHT CHECK!”, in the hope that a higher power will reveal the subterfuge.
This may cause offence.

“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”

Everyone says
"Just be yourself"
Until you do, then they want you to be someone else
I've come to the conclusion, after many years of trial and error, that the perfect number of dumplings, is one fewer than you think you can eat.
