Everything I Really Do Know

Okay, in the light of day the Everything I Know post was a downer:

Everything I truly do know; take these to the bank.

1). Life is better with a breaded pork chop in your hands. Better yet with another one on the plate waiting for you to finish the first one.

2). In most cases the person who loves you most in your life will be your mother. A few of the dogs you own throughout your life will love you just as much, but it's a little different sort of love. Or is it?

3). During his lifetime, Herman Melville's Moby Dick sold only 50 copies.

4). God will not provide for you. He will give you the means to provide for yourself, but you have to make it happen.

5). The longer you live the more you'll regret the things you haven't done as opposed to regretting the things you have.

6). The best path to happiness is doing something for somebody else.

7). Ain't no one going to give you what you really need in life. This journey is a solo act, no matter how you cut it. You pull people in to share your days, but you came in and will go out alone.

8). Pepsi-Cola was originally called, "Brad's Drink."

9). 70% of life is showing up.

10). Most of the people you meet in life don't really care if you get hit by a bus. I know that's a downer, but it's true. Hang with the other people.

11). Red Pasta sauce served in restaurants generally sucks - and that's because my father ruined it for all of us by serving the best sauce week in and week out.

12). You can't protect your kids every moment of their lives, but there really isn't a lot wrong with trying to do that.

13). In New York City, every year, 1,600 people are bitten by other humans. If that doesn't tell you something about the human condition nothing will.

14). Life is beautiful if you're open to it.

15). Life sucks if you let it. Love the line: Positive thoughts don't always work, but negative thoughts do.

There are highs and lows and somewhere there is a simple balance.

I see it when I swing past.

God I want a breaded pork chop.
