All of the crap that people think is so important isn't. It never was, never is. I was a computer geek that dressed in black, got picked on til my Junior year in high school. I just decided to try football, and suddenly I was ok. That taught me that a lot of people are full of crap; they're not bad people, their mental filters are clogged and in dire need of cleaning. Be true to yourself. A lot of that feelgood talk does exactly that, but after a while you do realize that you're just as important as anyone else. There are times when you'll be alone; this is true. It's goig to sound funny, but you'll always have yourself. True friends will stick with you. Sometimes you may want to poke some of them with a pointed stick, but that's normal, too.

I bet you could probably finish a high school equivalacy right now, but don't. Stay with high school. I always get a good feelling when I look at my high school diploma. I also get an better feeling looking at my 2 year diploma from community college. Art appreciation indeed. I feel even better looking at my savings account now and realizing that I could go out an buy a Ferrari that needs TLC.

Get a cheap MP3 player and go for a walk. Find the best music you can and the best trail you can. Have no goal other than to go for a nice long walk, though.

Realize that the crap people may feed you is crap, but don't let cynicism become a way of life for you. Cynicism is a tool, not a lifestyle. If you let it rule you, you'll end up like Dennis Leary: Dark, bitter, funny, and one lung away from a transplant.

It's okay to daydream about the future, about 7-10 years from now, but start making small steps toward that today; 7-10 years later can creep up on you sooner than you think.

Extend common courtesy to others, but make sure that your courtesy extends to yourself. You are the only "you" around. Respect yourself.

Pretend to be a Jedi, but don't make the lightsaber sounds; it freaks people out. The hand waving, the Jedi mind tricks work on ocassion. Weak-minded people and all, you know.

Wear sunscreen ...
