"Kills bugs dead."
"Will this matter in 6 months?" If not, don't waste your mental energy on it.
Don't get paid in promises.
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'
Keep on keepin' on...
Live hard, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse
I can probably take care of the first two but my ugly ass can't handle the 3rd

In your deathbed you'll regret more the things you didn't do than what you did
Any man can grab a tiger by it's balls, but it takes a real man to squeeze.
"Give them a hand and they'll want the arm."
In other words while it's okay to help people you need to be careful and impose some limits here and there, as people are naturally greedy and will burden you for their own benefit.

Everything is temporary
Conversely, nothing is permanent
Dont break the weekend rules
- Do NOT add to the population
- Do NOT subtract from the population
- Do not ever do anything that will have you end up in the newspaper, hospital or jail.
-
- If you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.
Also dont do anything you would be afraid to explain to the paramedics.
Never be afraid of paramedics, they aren't there to rat you out. They just want to know what they need to do to make you better/not worse. They hate paperwork as much as anyone, and a dead patient is a ton of paperwork.

Every day, in every way, I improve myself
“Fuck it.”
I do say this a lot, so I guess this motto.
You can't change the past and can't control the present. Deal with the future.
No murders. Everything else you can apologize for.
"I'm just a monkey lookin' at a monolith." said in the strong southern drawl possible.
Very good for technical situations where I'm stumped.
I have one but I'll tell ya later.
"Don't give a shit."
anything you know could be wrong
Life's too serious for me to take it seriously.
Jack of all trades, master of one.
Too strange to live, too rare to die by HST.
Sums up my life pretty well.
All progress is progress
Never trust anything with a beak. Except for crows; crows are bros.
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".
my motto is 'im otto, i came to get blotto"
