I’d like all my effort noticed.
As a perfectly decent bloke.
I think the only way to achieve something that’s classic is to be in the moment. You don’t sit around and think, “Oh, I hope this is remembered forever!” You just have to be honest and I think that requires being in the moment. I don’t think you can worry about what is going to happen with something after that. I think the only thing that you can do is be honest and let the chips fall where they may.
As a nice human being who gave a shit.
Things I wish I’d done better that day.
An education for my child.
Hopefully we have life in the minds and hearts of the people we interacted with.
Being present where you are.
If people would just follow my rules about how they get around the city.
Being a parent.
