25

25. Quarter of a Century. Halfway to 50. Round up to 30. You're old.

Here are 25 very important things I've learned over the past 25 years.

1. Wear clean underwear whenever possible

2. Pizza makes a good breakfast, lunch or dinner

3. Understanding women is as simple as understanding nuclear physics with a second grade education


4. Find something you're good at or really like and pursue it


5. Spray on deodorant is not fun to use when it's really cold

6. Don't be a jerk

7. Don't pick your nose in public


8. Don't take someone's food without asking. It's really annoying when someone does it

9. You can always find something cheaper online.

10. Fannypacks had their place in time but should be done forever

11. Don't be that guy (Gym guy, golf guy, softball guy etc.)


12. Parents shouldn't start their kids off in a bad spot in life by giving them a bad name. (Lemonjello, Oragello, Lafonda, Lone Wolf, Blanket, Apple, Abcde)
13. Cats suck



14. Just because someone has money doesn't mean they're smart.

15. People who dress their pets have issues


16. Laugh at yourself when you do stupid stuff. I laugh alot.

17. Flight of the Conchords can change your life



18. Skiing is the closest thing to flying without using a parachute or a flight suit

19. It's not that hard to learn the guitar if you actually practice

20. Always check your fly after pit stops

21. When you inevitably are caught with your fly down act like to meant to leave it down





22. Black clothes are more economical than white clothes because you can wear them more between washes

23. Stride and Trident are the longest lasting gums

24. Never eat a hotdog from a gas station

25. Enjoy everyday

Lemonjello... Someone read Freakonomics!

Neat blog you've got here, even if it is a bit too chipper for me... Though if I looked like you, I might be chipper too. You look happy and smiley.

Once again, clever little space you have here. Adios!
