When opportunities present themselves seize them, even if a Nigerian Prince emails you saying you have inherited a large sum of cash, seize the moment and provide your SSN and bank account numbers to them via email. When eating at a local pizza joint, don't be a slob, clean up after yourself. God forbid a minimum wage earning punk rock has to clean up after you. Be punctual and don't waste peoples valuable time even if its Trumps. While revolting in a local music venue as a teenager, soak in the moment because some day your local venue will close and you will be sad. Long live #Uturn #thedoor #clubretro #theunderground #thepizzaplace #44presidentsbeforethecurrentoneinoffice #worldpub
