Some pretty good rules to live by.

Quote
17) Accept things the way they are.
This works in conjunction with not crying. While you have the ability to change parts of your reality, you need to man up and accept what has already happened. If something bad happens, move on and work to ensure it won?t happen again.
Stop stressing over what you can not control, and control whatever you can.

29) If you ?need? outside influences (be they people, drugs, activities) to have fun, you are not fun.
Notice the word need.
I?m not saying you should never drink or do drugs; what I?m saying is don?t rely on it for a good time. A buzz can be fun, but if you cannot have a good time sober, you are incapable of have a legitimate good time.
You shouldn?t need the plausible deniability of intoxication to do things you actually want to do. You don?t need a crutch.

Good dudely wisdom there, Landshark.

My cousin said he realised a few years ago that he thought he needed a j to have a good time. Now he doesn't smoke but still enjoys the pale ale. I salute him anyway
