Bits of Wisdom from my Dad

My ad and I were talking about being broke and young in life. Apart from giving me the traditional pep talk about hard work and graft I did get this nugget.

“I remember eating dinner with this Jamaican guy when I was in university in the States. We paid the bill and he ended up counting his coins (this is the states remember), I just looked at him. He was married and was still counting coins. So I asked him why he even got married. He replied in order to pay half of his rent.”

Don’t be pushed by your problems.

Be led by your dreams.

Making Dens

The Funniest thing anyone said to me this week:
"but i now do understand why u have pictures of strange women that are cool but only white boys would appreciate, with my exception and 10 other blacks in the world, including lightspeed champ. lol..."

The thing that hurt me the most this week:
"Dearest Inie, i have heard you complain about many things, live (sic), disappointment, lack of love, living situations, etc, but it has always been with a charming whit and a bit of artistic bliss, which is what i love about your writing! What the hell happened!! It made me sad to read this last email "

Old To The New

5 Things i that i will eventually regret telling my kids:
1) i once overdosed on Vitamin C
2) And Mouthwash
3) and Vicks Vapor nasal spray
4) The underdog story is never truer than with an ugly girl at the end of a night.
5) Lies told to women : Bad Dancer, Scotish grandparents (actually Great-Grandfather), being a prince(although kinda true), enjoy listening to Coldplay, Keane or even any tw0 bit indie band.

The Wisdom of Men.

A new series of quotes from me and my male friends as we struggle through the mire of life.

"As far as women go - 2009 might be the renaissance of the casual encounter. A long-term investment horizon doesn't exist in these Turbulent Times. No one wants buyer's remorse. You can always hold a diversified portfolio to minimize risk - you know - one in the indie industry, one from the leisure class, one from across town, and one from France. I think I'm beginning to see what brought about this Catastrophe in the first place."
