THINGS WE LEARN: From Rant and Rave
"...the best training comes from the most honest and ruthless people on planet Earth. They won't pamper you and provide pillows to make you comfy. What they'll do is push you to the edge until you learn how to hold on and stand your ground. They'll force you to squeeze out every (goddamn) juice of intellect from your brain. In the process, you learn patience, perseverance, control, and discipline. In the middle, you learn how to navigate your way through people and do it with unwavering dignity. You earn respect." ~Rant and Rave

A THOUGHT TO PONDER: MORALITY
"To deny conventional morality completely is to be highly moral, because what we call social morality, the morality of respectability, is utterly immoral; we are competitive, greedy, envious, seeking our own way – you know how we behave. We call this social morality; religious people talk about a different kind of morality, but their life, their whole attitude, the hierarchical structure of religious organization and belief, is immoral. To deny that is not to react, because when you react, this is another form of dissenting through one’s own resistance. But when you deny it because you understand it, there is the highest form of morality." ~Jiddu Krishnamurti

When I was 10 or 11, I built myself a drum kit in the garage made out of empty laundry detergent buckets, old lawn chairs, paint cans, and old trash cans. And around that time, my parents got me my first guitar. A baby acoustic. I jumped between all of these instruments constantly to satisfy the ideas I heard in my head. At this young age, I realized that music would play a huge part in my life." ~Brendon Urie
"You don't have to be angry, you don't have to be too cool for school. You can just have a good time and dance like no one's watching. Just enjoy life." ~Brendon Urie
