Everybody's free

If i cud offer u only one tip of the future...Sunscreen wud be it...a long term benefit of sunscreen hav been improved by scientists..whereis the rest of my advice have no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience...i will dispense this advice now...

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth..but never mind, u'll nt undrstand the power and beauty of ur youth until they fail...but trust me..in 20 yrs, u'll luk back at photos of urself, recallin away u can't grasp nw, hw much possibilities laid b4 u & hw fabulous u rily look, u r nt as fat as u imagine...

Dnt worry bout the future..or worry that to know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum...the real troubles in life are at to be things that never crossed ur worried mind..the kind that blindside u at 4pm on some idle tuesday...

Do one thing everyday that scares you...SING! don't be reckless with other people's hearts..don't put up with people that are reckless with yours..FLAWS!!don't waste ur tym on jealousy..sumtyms ur ahead..sumtyms ur behind...the race s long & at the end, it's only wid urself..remember compliments u recieved, forget the insults...f u succeed in doing this, tell me how...keep ur own love letters, throw away ur old bank statements..

STRETCH!!!don't feel guilty f u dnt know wat u wanna do wid ur lyf.. the most interesting poeple i knw,,didn't know what 22..what they wanted 2 do wid thier lives..sum of the most intersting 40 year old i knw stl don't knw...get plenty of calcium..be kind 2 ur needs..u'll miss them when their gone..

Maybe u'll marry..maybe u won't..maybe u'll have children..maybe u won't..maybe u'll divorce at 40 ..maybe u'll dance the funky chicken on ur 75th wedding anniverary..whatever u do..don't congratulate urself too much..or berate ur self either..ur choices are half chances..so are everybody elses..

Enjoy ur body..use it everyway u can..don't b afraid of it..or what other people think of it..it's the greatest instrument u'll ever own...

DANCE!!!even f u have nowhere to do it but in ur own living room..read the directions..even f u dnt follow. DO NOT READ BEAUTY MAGAZINES, they will only make u feel ugly...


Get to knw ur parents..u'll never knw when they will be gone for good...be nice to your siblings..they are ur best links 2 ur past & the people most likely to stick wid u n d future...

Understand that friends come and go..but to the precious few u shud hold on...work hard 2 bridge the gaps & geographies in lifestyle..coz the older u get the more u know the people u knew when u were young...

Live n New York city once..but leave b4 it makes u hard...Live in Northern Carolina but leave b4 it makes u soft...

TRAVEL!!!except certain inalliable truths...PRICES WILL RISE..POLITICIANS WILL PHILANDER AND YOU TOO WILL GET OLD..and when you do..u'll fantasized that when you were young..PRICES WERE REASONABLE..POLITICIANS WER NOBLE...& CHILDREN RESPECTED THIER ELDERS!!Respect ur elders...dnt expect anyone to support you..maybe u'll have a trust fund..maybe u'll have a wealthy spouse, but u'll never knew when either one might run out...

Don't mess too much wid ur hair..for about the time ur 40..u'll look 85...be careful who's advice u buy..but be patient to those who supply it...ADVICE is a form of NOSTALGIA..dispensing it is a way of swishing the past from the disposal..wiping it off..painting over the ugly part and recyling it for more than it's worth...but trust me...on the SUNCSCREEN!!!

Thnanx a million Parker...i think you've covered the important facts of life with that long script of yours....hmmmmm...i think i made it through most of it...now just doing it over again the second time around....but you're right about family anf friends.... don't take them for granted...and beauty... oh don't get me started on that... i think i rely on cosmetics and branded clothing that i forget what i truly really mean to my love ones....thanks for reminding me....
