a reminder to yourself, scott...

you need one.


play what you want whenever you want.
write whatever you want whenever you want.
don't listen to anybody but the voice in your soul.
live with passion.
believe in what you are doing.
don't do hard drugs, lay off the booze sometimes.
eat right, get enough sleep.
wake up everyday and write.
write with a fury.
write with a chip your shoulder.
write like you were shot out of a cannon.
write, goddamnit, write.
sing 'em like you mean 'em every single time.
hold your head high.
look people in the straight in the eye.
be proud of who you are.
learn.
learn everyday.
remember people's names.
give of yourself.
smile.
tip well.
let your friends know who they are.
make them proud.
be loyal.
be a good listener.
read.
practice your guitar.
take care of your body.
and whatever you do...
don't ever fucking quit.


never,

scott
