People think life is complicated. It's not. It's actually rather easy. Wake up, do what makes you happy, don't hurt other people, don't let other people hurt you, enjoy living, breathe a lot, eat well, have lots of safe sex, listen to lots of music, love your friends and family, try to understand and take things lightly, get good sleep, don't sell yourself short or allow others to let you think you have to compromise your integrity and remember my Mom and Dad's two golden rules: One, when in doubt, don't. And two, well, that was either do the right thing and be true and faithful, or don't forget to wash your hands after you pee, but either way, sound advice.

If I wasn't an artist, I would be an Archaeologist and/or a History Professor, because basically, Indiana Jones and I have a lot in common. Well, except for the name. And the dog. And my Dad is a Dentist. And I don't have a whip. [Pause]. Okay, so maybe "a lot" in common was a stretch. But I do like to play in the dirt.
