After a night out, my boss recently told me

"If you can't run with the big dogs lay on the porch with the pups."

I know it just means if you can't hang get the fuck out the way, but it really got me thinking, and also made me realize that once upon a time we were all pups. Sometimes you gotta recognize your limitations and keep yourself from biting off more than you can chew- with a family, a promotion, material possessions, whatever -cause if you're not ready for it, it'll kick your ass.

Just like waking up drunk on a work day.
