Body	since i've found some extreme and delicious greatness flowing over the crosby in the past year, i'd like to share some of my super tips in my famous bullet format for your viewing pleasure. these are just a few items i employ to create the atmosphere of supreme living. feel free to pick n choose and apply where you like. + when running, always end in a downhill fashion. this allows you to feel fast, and be fast in fact. you can make the big finish a sprint and feel like a million bucks! + drop the codependent in your life. i know it can be hard to be alone and/or lonely, but you'll find you were much lonelier before you spent time with you and realized your full potential as a separate entity. + spend money. now i know none of us have any, but do yourself a favor, realize money is kinda just a concept. and we'll never really have it, and the only way to keep it a'flowin' is to recirculate it. i'm broke as a joke, and yet i always live luxuriously. + realize what you are really good at, and stay out of the way of those who are good at something you are not. we all have some talent, and it's fantastic to share it with the world. but if you suck at something, move over already and let the people who rock it... rock it. + clean your house. and do it well. everyone appreciates a gorgeous place to recline. if you are super busy, at least find a place to shove things so your guests can appreciate open spaces. it also allows your brain to function much more efficiently. no clutter. + on that note, stock your fridge folks! most everyone has heard this one from me, but if you intend to host anyone, including yourself, at any time, try to have a beverage or two around. not saying you gotta hook up the patron, but a light beer? perhaps? a chip? a nut? a good red wine.. yes. + attempt... now this is important, TRY to remember vegetarians. it's tough, but they will be extremely impressed if you have options for them. + change your hair as much as possible. now i'm not hoping you'll start following my rainbow collection, but i will let you try on my wigs to see what style and color works next on you. + do not look like your significant other. it's kind of gross and seems narcissistic, or incestuous. there's no way you can't maintain some amount of individuality, esp in LA. pick a fun (and different) look walking down the street, and copy it! + don't put too much pressure on yourself. taking things slow and enjoying who you are will give you the most productivity and basic happiness. too much on the plate equals too little accomplished in any realm. + don't talk about shit that people don't understand, esp with a weird uppity tone. know your audience. that way we all have fun talking together. + take advantage of any part of our system that helps you. don't be shy, don't feel bad. cause you need to realize, our system mostly fucks you over. so take it where you can. + don't drive slow, like a big dick. or walk in the middle of.. anything. like an aisle, or sidewalk, then walk wherever you feel. look around you. i call this "geography". or, sometimes.. "geometry". you are not the only person in the world. people will like you much better if you are aware of this. + tell people when they did something great! or if you like what they look like, or something cool they accomplished. i love when people say nice things. i do it as much as possible, but only when i mean it. + on the other hand, don't feel bad if you don't like a certain person or something they did. remember it, cause people need to be responsible for their actions and learn from them. karma baby. and we do define ourselves by the company we keep. you don't want people to think you are that kind of person, if you aren't. + slow down any vice you have for a bit. days, or weeks. or altogether if you want. it is amazing how much control we do have over ourselves, and how it multiplies when you realize it. + buy a journal every so often, you can get them super cheap at target and they have cool designs. even if you don't write, use it for lists or to practice your cursive. whatever, it's just fun to look at them and open them and carry them and read what you wrote later. + light candles around your home. it's wonderful how that type of light, and yummy smells, can make you fell sort of glamourous.. and safe. + bake. try to alternate too. like a cake, then a pie, or if you're really adventurous like devin, crazy good recipes from many sources. then invite people over to eat it, or bring it to their door! + enjoy red wine. good for the heart in so many ways. and treat yourself to good bottles mostly, if not always. not expensive.. good. + if you like drinking, try not to be an asshat drinker. this one is obvious, but i think almost everyone i know, including and especially me, can really use to remind ourselves of this. i try very hard to keep this one in mind now. it usually works, usually. + don't invade people's space. know when it's good and bad to be hanging around. i am very conscientious of trying not to overstay my welcome, even on stage. i also check in with friends if i'm lazing around in their abode as to whether it's time to move it on out. most of you have heard me ask at least once. and i also don't really go anywhere unless there is an invite. just the way i roll. + buy good toilet paper. i love cottonelle. and your ass will too. + get a massage once in a while. it centers your being and opens your energy flow. i recommend my friend dave (aka super dave). let me know if you want his info. he's life changing. + laugh, and also cry. i swear i do both so much, but finally a lot less crying now. but it is still very very necessary. another way to clear your energy flow. do it with a friend too cause it helps when they hug you. + let things go. i cannot tell you how much i used to NOT let things go. now, i simply let it go. this is absolutely not to say that i forget. i just don't store up the fear or the disappointment in my body and muscles. i let it float freely in the universe and not cling to my being. + get out of the house. simply get out of the damn house people! really. everyone knows who the people are that sit at home, and we've almost given up on you folks. there is so much to do in LA, don't waste it! get out of your head or your bad habits, out of your depression or your fear, get out of your drinking, out of your codependence, get out here~ we're here and we are having a blast. + groom. please. clean and short fingernails that type of thing. it feels great to look fresh and pretty. we all love it, so let's do it. +take a good bubbly bath and stare at the tiles. i never used to dig on baths, but now i like relaxing into a hot tub and staring into space. + if you miss someone, find them! tell them, see them. now some of these hints are from my own personal growth, things i do or don't do. some are just things i notice others doing and start to erase them from my book of love. i'm going to finish cleaning.. take a shower after my run...fix my new hair style (blue mohawk) ... giggle a little... get out of the house into the gorgeous day ... go get some red wine ....and then probably bake a big fat cake and bring you some. :)
