"Don't give me an excuse for being late, boy. Excuses are like assholes - everyone has one but they all stink."

sausages are like opinions - everyone compares them to assholes.
or something completely different along those lines.

Best musical advice, can't remember who from, but it really helps to get things done and dusted:
'Always 'finish' your track before moving onto the next one' - ie don't have 40 half finished tracks lying around. Really helped me to finish my 'album'!
But unfortunately now I have nice and fast Broadband and haven't written anything for ages!!!!!

Edit: Just visited your web site Cane, and am listening to your latest track, Neon Lights - guess you did get rid of the internet connection, wrote songs, then needed one to upload all that stuff you made!!!! Very nice it is too - complete chill....
Guess you didn't take it!Get rid of your internet connection or you'll never finish that album......

I like these two a friend told me,
Envy:
Don't worry about what someone else has on their plate or you won't finsih what's on yours.
Relationships/friendships:
If it don't fit don't force it
From another friend:
Don't worry about all the things you may be missing out on as long as the one thing you're doing at the moment you enjoy in this big carnival of life.
=====================================================
A proverb I found somewhere (on the web I think).
The Best time to plant a tree was 25 years ago. The second best time is now.
Let your conscience be your guide.
(wasn't this also in a Disney film? haha)
And last but not most Smile
If in a dispute with your girlfriend/wife, YOU are wrong, ALWAYS - conventional "wisdom".

Just got it last night from Mr Patton and his Magnificient Orchestra - just do what ever you want to, if you're good enough, people will scream.

"Do not go to the elves for advice, for they will say both yes and no." -J.R.R. Tolkien
Actually very good advice. The wise can look at an issue from many angles, and it will sometimes be difficult for them to give a black and white answer.

That's my strategy too. If I need advice on a difficult matter, I always take it to the village idiot. If his answer is too blurry, I take it to the republicans, and if even they fail to make a clear case of it, I just sit down and watch Fox News for a few days - if they don't come up with a clear-cut opinion on my problem within 48 hours, it probably wasn't important in the first place.HelgeG wrote:"Do not go to the elves for advice, for they will say both yes and no." -J.R.R.

not advice, but illuminating observation:
"even a broken clock is right twice a day"
not original, but i've used that reply many, many times...

Tolkien's elves must've been Jewish. "True! But on the other hand, Maimonides said that..." =^_^= Long tradition there.
Mr. Coyote: I prefer a longer version of your last bit of advice. "Smile. It makes people wonder what you're up to." -- not sure who said it; maybe Mark Twain?
