Jay's Rules

Bienvenidos, and welcome to my first post using my new chromebook. My rulebook is inspired my life experience as a #BlackARican, Gibbs' Rules from one of my all time favorite tv shows, NCIS, and my experiences and facebook conversations as a #StayAtHomeDad and home chef. Some of them are redundant/repetitive, and some are about the same topics/issues.

Pay no attention to the order or numbering. They only have numbers so I can keep track of them. And, this proud Papa can legit say that my son, Isaiah, sometimes likes to quote them to me or his Mama.

- It doesn't matter who has the bigger stick. Just hit first, and hit last. 

-Toddlers lie.

- No one can afford to waste money. 

-Keep your friends close, your family closer, and enemies can just piss off. Keep them as far away as possible.

-If you don't know the rules, change the game.

-Always finish strong. 

-Family don't end in blood.

-Look them in the eyes, if you're actually listening.

-Quit while you're ahead. 

-Stay in your lane.

-Never play a game if you don't know the rules. 

-Your problems, are YOUR problems.

-The customer isn't always right. (In fact, the customer is usually full of shit.)

-Assume nothing.

-Always slice away from your body.

-Never trust anyone that doesn't trust you.

-Always trust your wife.

-We don't leave our people behind. 

-Taste everything you cook.

-If it's for family, go ahead and lie, cheat, and steal.

-Never stick your hands or nose where it doesn't belong.

-Always have stovetop handles towards the inside of the stove.

If you're anything like me, you don't always follow your own rules. But theses are the rules. Follow them. You may avoid pissing off the most important people in your life. 

Thanks for reading, and vaya con Dios!
