Bad Decisions Make Good Stories

For anybody who knows my basement, they know that my dad loves to plaster the wall with tons of signs, quotes, and posters. I actually love it. Today with I was down there, two stuck out to me and made me smile:

"If you obey all the rules, you'll miss all the fun"
"BAD decisions make GOOD stories"

Not exactly life quotes you'd expect a father to be surrounding his kids with, but I love them. So often, I see people who are so caught up with rules and doing the right thing and being perfect that they forget to NOT care once in a while and have fun... with this stressful, stressful first tri for most of us DipCans, I just wanted to share these reminders to let loose and go crazy once in a while! Rule breaking (in moderation) is, in my opinion, the only way to stay sane and keep life interesting :)

  1. I understand your point; however, what part of "good clean fun" don't you understand? It's annoying to me when people brag about doing something that wasn't blatantly immoral but was against the rules of some entity. It's a breach of integrity. Why must you go crazy to have fun? (If anyone responds "YOLO" I am going to scream :P)
    But seriously, I do know what you mean; however, morality outweighs sentimentality. I lead a "boring" life and like it that way.
