Things I Have Learned

things I have learned

1) do not buy a king bed, a queen is big enough any more creates a psycological distance between you and your bed partner.

2) nature prizes the elegant over the practical -- hummingbird beaks, TK, TK TK. Do likewise. Practicality is almost always a hack. The best solutions are those that are practical and elegant.

3) Do not be realistic. There is no faster path to mediocrity. To walk in a room, flip a swtich and have light was totally unrealistic for millions of years and then Thomas Edison decided to do something that wasn't realistic.

4) do not be afraid to die

5) "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." - Albert Eistein

6) Memory is a big goddamn mess. It'd be much easier if it was like a record player, you could just pick up the needle and drop it on the best parts of your life to play over, the way you used to know exactly which record groove signaled the beginning of TK's TK. 

7) Lightweight freaks will tell you to leave the towel at home. That's utter nonsense, everyone knows a towel is "about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have," and furthermore, "any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with." Always travel with a towel.
