"Life is simultaneously too large and small, it is not worth spending time planning it"
Any man can grab a tiger by it's balls, but it takes a real man to squeeze.
"Will this matter in 6 months?" If not, don't waste your mental energy on it.
"Kills bugs dead."
I'd rather have the ugly truth than pretty lies.
Reminds me of a line out of a book, don't remember which one, but it was along the lines of 'if you can't say yes, then answer anyway, because I'd rather die with the answer than live with the question'
You can't change the past and can't control the present. Deal with the future.

Every day, in every way, I improve myself
“Fuck it.”
I do say this a lot, so I guess this motto.

All progress is progress
Too strange to live, too rare to die by HST.
Sums up my life pretty well.
my motto is 'im otto, i came to get blotto"
Don't be "that guy".
Depending on the situation, whatever "that guy" is will be different, but generally I try not to be "that guy". Very rarely "that guy" is a good guy, and then the whole philosophy breaks down, but most of the time that's not the case, and I am happy trying not to be "that guy".
"Don't give a shit."
"Follow the money." and/or "Money is fungible."
Never trust anything with a beak. Except for crows; crows are bros.
Live fast eat ass
