There is always an opportunity........

I'm having a great conversation with my father who is a DJ living in Houston, Tx.

Here are the cliff notes of subjects we covered::

When Negative stuff happens move on immediately don't dwell on it.
There's always another opportunity/way around it.

You can never be too old to accomplish what you want in life.

Live for balance in all areas in life, not for greed.

Always walk the dog, or its your fault he pissed in the house - BE EASY ON THE LITTLE GUY.

Graffiti artists are very evasive, there's a law in Houston $10,000 reward if you catch a graffiti artist. My dad realized he could never catch any of them, when ever he spotted them.

A Bullet wound hurts less, than the loss of True Love.

Cussing feels better because, you tend to emphasize the emotion of what you might not be able to communicate calmly. But be within reason when using it.

Controlling your nerves when you are nervous before meetings, social gatherings, or auditions.

Always be true to yourself. Being real always gets you further than putting on a facade, in the end you'll be judged either way, might as well have the proper image projected with it.

Making careless choices are an obvious set back, but its easy to make careless choices unconsciously, you have to take your time in all situations in life.

Its better to give, especially during times your blessed by the universe. You never know how you may make a difference to yourself and/or someone else.

An open liberal mind, can open more doors, than a conservative one.

Always thank the women in your life.

Communicate openly, rationally, and often.

He still cannot work his cell phone or read well, but he can spin the hell out of records and understand people by the music they listen to. Uniting people through music is one of the strongest bonds you can ever try to break.

The Jennifer Hudson story is really unfortunate & tragic, Men need to learn to cope with emotions of Jealousy and envy/emotions in general at a much younger age.
