Even "no update" is an update.

Universal languages

We have two universal languages: mathematics, and music. One to describe the universe, and one to describe how we feel about it.

Down the stairs

Someone once told me, when you fall halfway down the stairs no one ever says, "Well fuck, might as well just throw myself down the rest of the stairs." Remember this when you blow your New Year's resolutions and then just give up on them or some similar circumstances.

Nothing

If nothing happened, and nothing caused it, there's nothing to be done about it.

The macarena

Every time I check my pockets for my wallet, keys, and phone, I do 25% of the macarena.

Bad to spoil a movie

It's just as bad to spoil a movie with a lie as it is telling the truth.

Keeping up with technology

I worked with a 89 year old gentleman who tried really hard to work with computers. I asked him once why he tried so hard at it, as in his particular job he could get away without. His answer was simple:
"You weren't around when telephones started, but it was simple, you got a phone. If you didn't have a phone it was hard to communicate with you. If your friends can't communicate with you you will get left out. Next thing you know those clubs and organizations you belong to pass you by, you're not going to be club president anymore and you're going to lose out on your socialization because people can't get hold of you. Eventually, you will sit in your living room, watching TV wondering where everyone has gone."
