Quote of the day

If you can be that link to other people that came before you and the ones that come after, then you have to honor that link.

There's always a handful of 40-year-old dudes. I don't know why that is exactly. I don't know if it's like my looks or the music or what, but I seem to just really appeal to that age group.
