[Here is a list of the top 10 things that I learned in 2003 or just life lessons that followed me throughout the course of my life. -- TC]

10. People who play video games in their youth
oft times make skilled doctors, mechanics, etc... (Thank
God, and mom, for that Atari)

9. Never burn bridges behind you, give 'em enough time
and they will fall on their own.

8. Sometimes it's the things we DON'T say that hurts
others most.

7. Never truly try to understand someone unless you
are truly prepared to become them.

6. If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

5. If life gives you gators, RUN!!!!

4. Never try to keep a Bengal tiger in a small one
bedroom apartment in New York City.

3. Always respect your parents, they can still
embarrass you no matter how old you are.

2. If ever you're lost, ask directions. You might
even make a new friend (or stalker, whatever the case
maybe).

And the numero uno thing that I carry over from 2003
to 2004 is.................

1. NEVER, EVER underestimate the power of stupid
people in large groups.
