some universal truths

Nine out of ten Josh's are potheads

3 out of 4 Mandi's are big bitches

If you know more than one kid named Eddie, you are a fucking liar

A kid named Dwayne is almost always going to be black

A Michelle in the hand is worth three Diana's in the bush

Rile is a gays name

So is Bruce and Julian. There, I said it

Chris, Steve, Roger, and Joe are smart kid names

To stray from the subject of names for a little bit:

There are few things better than a Jerry Garcia guitar solo

Or when he hits "laad-y" in Terrapin Station

The "Inspiratiooooooon, move me brightly" part will give you goosebumps

That part in Divided Sky and Down With Disease will too. just different kinds

Fat girls who aren't shy are really fucking annoying because they talk too much, and they are fat, and who wants to hear fat girls talk about food, eating scabs, and popping zits?

For the most part, girlfriend's friends are the sworn enemy of any righteous boyfriend

There is no substitute for saying I love you

Cody ChestnuTT's lyrics are absolutely true

Everyone needs a little sometimes

Getting mad solves nothing

Being happy all the time isn't impossible

The best things in life are a girl, a bed, a whole Saturday, and tons of fun

Blowjobs are pretty sweet too

And so is going down on the girl you love

You should listen to a lot of Bruce Springsteen and rap music, so you get a jist of what is really out there

Life begins and ends with steak and potatoes

The world isn't necessarily stacked against you. The world is wide, vast, and beautiful, and it shouldn't be feared

Recruiting trips are meant for you to forget about what you hated about the college you visited

There's no such thing as a cool conservative. just conservative's that you don't hate

Little brothers make life fun

Mountains everyday. the American dream

When the sky is blue, play soccer, when it's cloudy, but not cold, play soccer. when it's raining and cold and miserable, play soccer

Theres nothing more beautiful than looking down at the girl you love, and see those beautiful green eyes looking back at you in the same way. you'll never be the same after that moment hits you

Being in love isn't for everybody, however

It's Karl, not Carl

It's Brendan, not Brenden or Brendon

And it's certainly not Brandon

But we miss him everyday
