It's after midnight, I'm not allowed to eat. So I'll report on Monday's lunch...
Chopped beef-steak, mushrooms, four enchiladas, a slice of ham, grilled chicken breast, green beans, too much broccoli, not nearly enough spinich (it goes with everything), two glasses of water, a slice of pumpkin pie, a slice of coconut pie and a diet pepsi (cause I'm keepin' an eye on my girlish figure).
Topic: Getting along
When people ask me if I play in a band, my standard response is: I lack the social skills to be in a band.
When I was 14, a drummer told me it was more important to get along with your bandmates, than to play with the best musicians in the world. Also, mom tells me that it's more important to get along, than for everything to be absolutely right. Of course, when you're 14, this advice falls on deaf ears. As I got older (and was tired of getting fired from various jobs), I realized mom, and oh yeah, that drummer guy, were right. I have found that in a work/band/social/everything environment, making the small sacrafices to get along elevates you to being a great member of the team or band.

Now-a-days, I realize it would be ideal if you could get along with the best musicians on the planet, but I am just too damned arrogant.
Assignment: Give an example of sage advice that did not come intuitively to you.
