...the kind you don't take home to mother

Do: Have a passion in life

Don't: Be white and sport dreadlocks

Do: See Hustle and Flow; it is superb

Don't: Verbally bash snowboarders. That is so 1994. Particularly when it comes from a less-than-expert skier, and the bashing in question refers to snowboarders being "out of control" and "messing up the moguls." Odds are, I can ride a tighter line in bumps than you can ski, so shut the fuck up. Watch and learn.

Do: Drink Good Earth Green Tea with Lemongrass.

Don't: Even Think About It.

Do: Call an old friend.

Don't: Forget about Dre.
