thinking people i-smile
I think of how and where all the horrible people I've come across in my life ended up, and I smile.
father cutting people
So many people limit themselves by holding onto that baggage. They cut themselves off at the knees. And for me, meeting my father, and seeing how he was, and seeing that other side of where I came from, allowed me to kind of ascend spiritually. Now not to get all hippy or anything, but, you cant realise your potential unless you LET yourself realise your own potential.
crazy people sin
I sin like crazy, but I protect my people.
people dignity rise-above
We are defined by our dignity to rise above debasement. We are certainly better people for doing so.
reading memorable kingdoms
I've got to be honest, and I'm not just saying this because the majority of you reading this live there, but I love the United Kingdom. I just flat-out love it.
memorable giants booze
It's one giant Bowflex commercial covered in booze vomit.
memorable wind fire
It was always a thrill for me, getting out of the cocoon and wandering. I'd let the wind wrap around me like fire and slip into the unknown with a moment's hesitation.
night stories remember
It is always the nights you cannot remember that eventually become the stories you don’t forget.
memorable mean thinking
I mean come on. Do you know how easy it is to be famous these days? Do you have any idea? The web has made it plausible to have your very own platform to stand and spew nonsense from on an hourly basis. There's an old saying: when everyone is special, no one will be. These days, everybody thinks they're special, so no one really does anything to be special anymore.
memorable writing night
I didn't write my speech until the night before, and even then I refused to write it out like I would say it, preferring to keep cribbed notes I could come back to if necessary. I wanted this to feel like a conversation because it was what I wanted to say that mattered, not how it looked on paper.
coffee memorable simple
People ask me all the time what or who my influences are. To be honest, it would take a decent set of encyclopedias to get them all down. I am here today to let the world know my greatest influence, my secret ingredient, really. What inspires me? That's simple: COFFEE.
memorable smell feelings
You ever tasted a smell? It's a very strange feeling. I've done it quite a few times and it still freaks me out.
technology skills people
Now you've got people who don't really have the skills, because technology hides it, going out and putting these crappy singles out, and because that's all there really is, people basically eat it like hamburgers. It's become very, very commercialized. Which wouldn't bother me as much if people actually had talent. When I listen to something and the first thing I notice is that it's been turned into crap, I shut it off and throw it out the window of my car. Like it's the most offensive thing to me.
thinking lazy half
I think you're always gonna have half the generation that's lazy. But I think it makes the other half work that much harder.
