Yes, I’ve been called in for jury duty today. Hopefully the fact that I’m a licensed minister living in a liberal state will keep me off of any jury. Let’s hope.

Some of the best advice I’ve heard lately was:

“Live every week like it’s Shark Week.”

-Tracy Jordan (30 Rock)

And I was wondering the same thing. Why don’t we live every week like it’s Shark Week? Or like every day is Christmas? Sometimes we get so stuck in where we’re at that we lose all perspective. We get so caught up in the busyness of life that we forget to live because:

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

-Ferris Bueller (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off)

Do we ever stop? I doesn’t seem that way. We’re always trying to get ahead in life. To make more for ourselves. And because of that we must remember:

“The first key to your own prosperity, is to make me prosperous first…”

-Joely Ostein (Joely Ostein’s Prosperity Plus)

How different would our lives be if we took more advice from fictitious people?

Any great fake advice you’ve received lately?

Ed Asner (Mary Tyler Moore Show) - “You little b*stard”

Alec Baldwin (30 Rock)- “Ha ha you’ve got b*lls kid”

Slash (Guns N Roses) - “Hey Man, [BUURP!] what’s up!?!”

Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction) - “You know Steven, I really like you”

Sharon Gless (Cagney & Lacey) “Move it, I want the lobster.”

Jay Leno (The Tonght Show) - “Security!”

If you know me at all, most of these responses shouldn’t surprise you. If you want to hear the story that accompanies it, I’ll divulge.

Any run-ins with famous people you’ve had?
