Things I know for sure


If possible, be kind. It is always possible. I picked up this little chestnut from your friend and mine, the Dalai Lama. I figure if you can still be spouting off positivity like that after you've lost everything and your country's been stolen, maybe I can let the Cavalier pull in front of me without leaning on the horn like a psychopath.

Don't carry a balance on your credit card. The bank does not love you. They do not recognize you as a valued customer. They only raise your credit limit when you're getting close to it because they want you to carry a balance from month to month. Likewise with balance transfers. Interest charges are how they make a lot of money on you.

Beverley Hills Chihuahua isn't as good as the trailer makes it look. Surprise. Despite what you might think, there are no singing and dancing chihuahuas on the steps of Chichen Itza anywhere in the movie.

No matter how many times you go over it, you can't change the past. I know it's tempting to re-live the hurts of the past -- the thing you should have said, the thing that should have been said to you -- but truth is you can't change it. No matter how many times you go over the same scenario in your head, it'll work out the same way.

Happiness is an inside job. No one can give you what you don't already have.

You'll always run into your ex when you're having a bad hair day. It's one of the ways the universe helps us not take ourselves too seriously. You can help your case by promptly throwing out underwear with bad elastics, and not wearing anything that an entire other person could fit in with you.

I left the theater with the same thought:
"where the hell are the dressed up Chihuahua's dancing and singing like Mexican School Musical 2?"

In our business, that would be called bait and switch.
