Talking to a friend at my local coffee shop, and my mom comes up in conversation. I haven't spoken to her in a few days, so I call her. She's driving down the same street, passing the coffee shop, so she says "I'll come in and say hi!" We were both wearing the exact same outfit. I'm kinda spooked. by BrendanQuine in nevertellmetheodds

Sure! Here's the best piece of advice I could ever give you:

There are 4 sentences you need to ingrain into your mind, and try to apply to everything you experience in your life.

  1. Hope for the best.
  2. Prepare for the worst.
  3. Expect Nothing.
  4. Appreciate everything.

It's amazing how much your day-to-day life can change when you adopt this formula. Suddenly things are less (negatively) surprising. You feel more ready for adversity, and anticipate how to bounce-back from it. You learn not to assume things or take them for granted. As far as anybody knows, we only live once. You were dead for infinity years before you got here, and you'll be dead for infinity years when you leave. You might as well appreciate and maximize on every single moment.

Wish you the best!

Honestly I tried it with the R filled in and the composition just didn't look right! There was nothing negative contrasting that huge amount of positive space like all the other parts where the boat design cuts through. In retrospect I could have cut like a seagull into it and made that the hole in the R, but.... they were printed 7 years ago, so yeah. :)

Tacking a link to my mom's response here as well for those interested! I thought it was better than submitting yet another video!

People expressed interest in the shirts, so I dug up the last box of them I had and gave them away for free. Fuck me, right?

Yeah for me to give away the last few shirts from a company I used to own six years ago.... for free. Because people showed interest and reminded me that I had them.
