    Save money for multiple Pearl Jam shows, and walk around the cities where the shows are held.

    And add, do meet ups with your friends from here, when ya'll happen to get lucky enough to be attending the same shows. Plan at least one vacation as a touring fan if you are able.

    Don't assume that how other people are reacting is all about you. We tend to think that the world revolves around us but it doesn't. How people react usually is almost completely to do with them. The world will have a lot less drama if we don't take everything personally.

    Is this about me? :wink:

    Be honest, never back down from stating the truth regardless of the condemnation from others.

    Truth is relative. Everyone has her/his own truth.

    Facts, however, as a great Masshole once said, "are stubborn things."

    I can state a fact and never back down because a fact is a fact is a fact. There is no disputing it.

    I can state a truth and never back down, but then I just seem like a smug fuck (see Donald Trump for some, perhaps Bernie Sanders for others) because it's merely my truth. And the person from whom I'm receiving condemnation has every right to condemn me because they have their own truth that might feel under fire from my unbending and at-arms self-righteousness.

    You got me ;).

    Should have qualified that to say "don't assume the world revolves around you unless you're SD, in which case it does", and justifiably so.

    I didn't say to never back down, I said don't be afraid to state a truth, because others will condemn. Every person should feel that freedom. I guess some just feel better saying that by doing that you are being , not really a surprising statement to hear around here though I guess. Some people just can't help supporting the idea that others shouldn't get to have their say because the don't want to hear it or it isn't their truth.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    It will act like bleach if you leave it on for a long time. Pour some on right before laundering. Let it sit for 5 minutes or so and then toss into the washer.

    don't fry bacon with your teeth,
    also,
    if you have a 2 or 3 year old that says stuff (going upwards until about 10 or 13 when they stop talking) WRITE THOSE AMAZING LITTLE QUOTES DOWN immediately.... You think you will remember them later on in a day or two or a week, or anytime but guess what--. you won't .
    have paper and pen everywhere. or cell phones everywhere, gather them all up later,

    In five years and ten and twenty years later, you can come up on pearljam.com and thank me for this treasure
