Douva 0 #1 July 7, 2005 These have served me well for the last couple of years, so I thought I'd share them with the rest of you. 8 Simple Rules to Life According to Douva 1. Don’t get so comfortable in your box that you’re afraid to leave when it’s on fire, and don’t be so insistent on leaving that you’re afraid to go back in when it starts to rain. 2. Don’t turn back because the going gets tough, and don’t try to save face by continuing on when you realize you’re on the wrong road. 3. Spending your life following the world’s lead is a good way to die without living. 4. Spending your life trying to prove the world wrong is a good way to die without friends. 5. Being told you can’t do something is neither a reason for or against trying. 6. Old sayings are about as helpful in the real world as most other old junk. If life gives you lemons, throw them away—I don’t trust that son-of-a-bitch. 7. Always do the best you can where you are, with what you’ve got. 8. Don’t get married to your philosophy on life, and never try to live by somebody else’s.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

Douva 0 #5 July 7, 2005 QuoteForget rules. Life's complexities should be handled on a case by case basis. Every path that you choose is unique. If you look closely at the rules, you'll see they have a self-contradicting yin and yang quality to them. They don't say "do this" or "do that;" they say "find the balance between this and that." They're about finding flexibility in dealing with life's complexities.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

josheezammit 0 #6 July 7, 2005 Josh's 8 simple rules for life..........hehheheh always trust your heart it's the only thing that measures what truly matters be young wild and free, just like texas in 1880 whenever life gives fruit of any kind including the dreaded and loathed lemon, make some mother fucking (insert fruit name here) magarita's with that shit beer makes you happy, i am dead serious this is like proven science van wilder says, "never take life too seriously, you'll never make it out alive......write that down." don't ever do what the beloved Jeff Standley tells you to do, you could end up drunk as balls at Jason Peters and Amy C's house always replace your closing loop if it shows 10 percent of wear or more most importantly, always forgive, never hate, don't hold grudges life is too short, and loving someone will always make you feel better then hating them. and your bonus rule is of course, have your pet's spade or nutured this of course is a joke Ahh, what a wonderful world.
