Pearls of Wisdom
“I’d rather piss in the wind than turn the other cheek, you get hit either way but at least it’s reciprocity.”
Amadeo
Sit at my feet oh seeker of knowledge and I will share with you these pearls of wisdom.
Make a plan, follow it and enjoy each step like an evil overlord. Most of us obsess about the end results. Not evil overlords. You’ve seen the movies and shows. When one step goes right those cats laugh and rejoice for like 15 minutes. They do think about the end, but they want to savor each and every step of the plan. Be an evil overlord.
Stress is everywhere so I find it best to break things down in to categories. I only have two: Useful and Entertaining. Either I learn something or I laugh at something and it’s that simple. Keep in mind I do have a sick sense of humor and can laugh at quite a lot…but hey it works for me.
I’d rather piss in the wind than turn the other cheek, you get hit either way but at least it’s reciprocity.
People who say numbers don’t lie have never been to a Casino.
People who don’t understand words, understand pain.
Pull people close with one hand and slap the shit out of them with the other.
I’m not arrogant…but if I don’t love me who will?
Make love like it’s the last thing you’ll ever do.
All women are beautiful if you look long enough.
Don’t be afraid of anything lower on the food chain…unless it’s poisonous.
All meetings should take 15 minutes.
There is nothing wrong with talking to yourself or answering…arguing is when something is wrong.
The only time to take hints are when:
You are the third wheel.
The hostages have your friend and there is gun they can’t see.
Someone with a gun yells at you to “pull your socks up”.
All people holding political office are public servants…treat them as such.
No….you can never hold my pen.
Nice guys do finish last…but all the other competition has burned out by then.
Children are little people…they are not all precious and wonderful, some of them are idiots and assholes in training.
Punch the guy who’s doing all the talking first.
Dude…if I’m ever going to be in your area, I’m looking you up and we are hanging out b/c I live by some of the same idioms….especially “People who don’t understand words, understand pain.” However, I like and will be employing quite a few of the others your provided. Per your permission, of course. Great post, sir!

P.S. I have my own, evil overlord laugh. It scares strangers AND my loved ones.

There are simply too many co-signables for me to even quote. But I can’t help but find the simplicity of it all simply out of my reach. You’re right, stress is everywhere.
