Red: The video game and animation industries are both absolutely frightening and incredibly awesome in so many respects. You have to love what you do but dear lord you are never being paid for the work you do. It makes me sad panda. So much respect for you guys. I hope I didn't suggest that this kind of stuff only happens in Science, it's just what I'm most familiar with.

Quick question. I've seen talk recently about how California is within a year of decriminalizing marijuana, and that once that happens a bunch of other states are ready to fall in line.

My question is, isn't marijuana's legality determined by a federal agency? I mean, I know states technically have the ability to overrule federal regulations, but isn't that a last resort of the "they'll cut off all federal monetary and service aid if we do this" variety?

This weekend my mom told me a story about my own life that I didn't know. A grade school bro of mine, Greg, had talked to her recently about the old times. I hated the old times, but I digress.

I wasn't all that popular in grade and middle school. I had friends but I annoyed them and I knew it. I was an awkward kid - didn't shuttup and always needed to prove he knew everything, sometimes about stuff I didn't know anything about. (implying much has changed hawhaw) I'd try to tell jokes out when I was nervous and they'd usually flop. I didn't want to be like that; I just didn't know how to change. I got a lot of flack from all my classmates and I hated my liiiiiife. Hell, I was even voted in a class-wide poll to be the least dateable guy in the class, after a short bus kid. I was less desirable than the short bus kid. Jesus...

So Greg had told my mom this story from the old days. My former best friend from grade school had turned on me at some point and would only hang out with me to use me for school projects. One time we had a field trip to a high school play. Before we had gotten to our seats, my former best friend had gathered the rest of the guy classmates except me and told them not to sit near me. (SEAT'S TAKEN.)

Now let me tell you something. Before I heard this story, I could have sworn that all of them were sick of me. I was obnoxious and even I didn't have the patience for myself.

Before my mom said anything else, all at once, I remembered that moment. All the guys, my teammates from basketball and soccer, my gaming buddies, had run over to me for some reason to high five me before we entered the hall. I didn't understand why they were so excited, but we sat together for the play and man was I happy to see them.

All this time since 8th grade, I've avoided talking to them or hanging out with them in San Francisco because I thought they were still upset with me. Jesus, I didn't know; those guys were my first real friends and I didn't even really know. I almost cried bricks when she told me. I felt 11 all over again.

Hope that didn't bore you or something. Polite sage for personal business. Not sure what to do with that story, but it meant a lot so I thought I'd share.

The more sensitive you are, the more likely you are to be brutalised, develop scabs and never evolve. Never allow yourself to feel anything because you always feel too much.

Never confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your talent.

Regret is useless in life. It's in the past. All we have is now.

You can say something in a certain spirit, with a smile, but when it appears in print, there's no smile.

Some basic codes like:
Do be nice to the elderly, even if they aren't always nice to you
Don't make elaborate lies or lies meant to hurt someone
Do take responsibility for the turbulence you leave behind, both physical (trash etc) and otherwise (chaos, unrest etc)
Don't curse in front of ladies or children
Do make an effort to be patient, because it is the root of all wisdom
Don't deprive someone of something which they earned
Do be humble of successes and proud of failures, because success can only happen with the lessons learned in failure

I frequently break these, but at least I make an effort

And the codes which overrides all previous ones and are the most important:
Do return ten fold what is given to you, be it good or bad
If nothing is given to you, give nothing in return but goodwill
Control your natural greed, for greed is the root of all enmity

I have never broken these in my adult life

No real "codes" but I do keep this in mind at all times-- nothing in this world can stop me. I have lived in a mansion and I have been homeless. I have bought my own car with my own money and I have had one given to me. I've had a car repossessed for that matter. I have been punched in the teeth and I have punched someone in the teeth. I have stood up to teachers and cops and girls who could have made my high school experience hell. Sometimes, it turned out in my favor and sometimes, it meant I spent a lot of time in detention. I have gone hungry. I have protected my brothers and, in kind, been protected by them. I have sat in a car with a gun and considered shooting the man who ruined my mother's life. And then I did the most difficult thing in the world and I forgave him instead. All that shit happened before I was even 20.

I worked for everything I have and I have fucked up more than a few times and I will continue to fuck up because I am human and that's just how things work. But there is no such thing as the "end of the line." One door closes and another one opens, I guess.
