Just giving a shout out to my fellow old(er) Chapos out there. We survived the perils of a world with limited internet held hostage through AOL so you could all live in a better world.

Here’s some interesting takes I have from now being slightly aged. Feel free to add yours!

1. 4K movies only really make older movies look that much better. Jaws in 4k > Cape Shit in 4k

2. Most anything labeled collectible won’t be worth shit in 20-30 years.

3. Most NES games aren’t that good. Weren’t that good then. Not that good now.

4. Never admit anything to cops, even if its just a speeding ticket. Every answer should be “I don’t know.”

5. Learn to cook for yourself - it’s cheaper and healthier for you in the long run. I wish someone taught me how to cook when I was younger. Anyhow - you’d be amazed what you can get done for just a few dollars with dried lentils and a trip to the produce section.

6. For every good band you’ve heard of, there’s at least 3 good bands you haven’t heard yet that are similar.

7. Buy everything used.

8. Working out and staying in decent shape doesn’t have to be about looking good, getting laid, getting swollen, or any of that nonsense; it can have immediate benefits on your well being.
