The thing you gotta remember...


You don’t live life; life lives you. And if you aint living at 110%, you might as well be livin' at zero. If you don’t get up and give it your all and bust your biscuits every single damn day, then you may not be goin' to bed that night. You gotta get up to get out and gotta get out to get stuff. And if you don’t get stuff, then you don’t have stuff on the table. No stuff on the table and you don’t eat. Don’t eat and you don’t sleep. If you don’t sleep, you can’t wake up in the morning. Or, you might wake up dead. And that’s no kind of way to wake up. It’s the way it’s been for thousands of years. You get out what you put in, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more. You could die at any moment—any second. And when you go, that’s all it takes, a second. All you can do is hope today aint that day. It is what it is and it aint what it aint. Yep, being here up in the Yukon Nuukawa’qiq basin makes a person think in such things. Aint much else to do but think, sometimes, drink, and stink. But we wouldn’t have it any other way. Couldn’t. Because you don’t choose life, life chooses you. You gotta remember that or else you’ll forget it.
