"Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. / As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. / Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. / Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. / Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. / Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. / take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe; no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. / Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. / With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy."

Create Your Own!My name's Matt. I'm from Denver but I moved to Portland for school, which kicks Denver's ass. Denver wishes so bad that it could be Portland, and Portland is just like, "Whatev. I'm too hip for you." And then Portland puts on all his Hipster gear (scarf, uber-tight jeans, swoopy hair, etc.) and smokes a cigarette out in the rain, just to show Denver how badass he is. And Denver CRIES. That's right, he cries like the little pussy that he is. Because he'll never be as hip as Portland. Just like Boise will always be left behind in Denver's dust, because it's in fucking IDAHO. Just don't tell Seattle that Portland borrowed his Bright Eyes CD. 'Cause Seattle would be PISSED. London, however, knows that they're all just a bunch of posers. And now I'm on my way to D.C. We'll see how that turns out.
