I found it pretty sweet. It reads kind of like that "advice from an old man to young men" essay that was on Reddit a while ago.

Pff. Harrison, not Lennon or McCartney.

"Crocs are for people who have given up on life."

I wish every parent would adopt this mantra. Then only emo kids would wear them.

No tattoos unless you’re in the armed forces. No body piercings unless you become a pre-Columbian tribal Aztec. No orange hair unless you join the circus.

I know the armed forces aren't the most popular subset of humanity in a lot of circles, but lumping them in with tribal Aztecs and carnies seems a bit... harsh or over-dramatic.

Awwwwwwww. I wish my daddy told me those things. Also, the first one is SO important, especially with facebook and myspace. Sadly, you get those photos that are unwittingly taken of you that are most embarrassing and not when you are posing...but are instead passed out on the floor wrapped around a toilet dressed as a pizza and your "friends" think it is funny to post them not realizing your boss now thinks you're irresponsible.

......nothing like some aggressively delivered unsubstantiated opinion....

o Don't be yourself. Be how I think you should be.

o If your daughter wants to dye her hair pink and wear Croc's let them.

o The team is most important for men not for women. It also contradicts not being popular.

o It's okay to cheat as needed. People will tell you not to cheat because they hate the competition.

o Don't be afraid to make a scene. Ever!

o Look up to female rock stars not male ones. They will tell it to you straight.
