As a creative person you just get an idea in your head, and sometimes you just can't shake it off.
Go find something that you haven't done before. Don't do the same thing over and over again.
I am Opposite of weak Opposite of slack Synonym of heat Synonym of crack Closest to the peak Far from a punk Y'all ought to stop talking And start trying to catch up
I really enjoy it -- it's like a videogame on wheels. The GPS touch screen is one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen in a car. I still have a Range Rover that I don't drive much anymore, because I started feeling bad about it.
I'm going to sprout wings out of my ass one day and fly around the world.
I know at one point I had bright red hair and I had bracelets from my wrist up to my elbow and I was wearing size 50 pants. I wouldn't wear that today, but I'm not embarrassed about wearing it back then any more.
A decade is a long time to be doing anything, much less to be with the same guys, chasing after the same goals.
Id rather get up early and go out and do something than stay up late and screw up my body.

This is ten percent luck, Twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent power of will, Five percent pleasure, Fifty percent pain, and a hundred percent reason to remember the name
My parents still treat Christmas like I'm thirteen years old.
I have a toothbrush, my toothbrush is sexy
I feel really lucky to be in a band where the guys, for all the opportunities to do things that potentially would be good for them but detrimental to the group, that everybody stayed loyal to the whole.
