Don't cut special deals to help a friend or act like a big shot.

Dealing with a dead body was a lot easier and cheaper then some of the nightmares i experienced.I still can't shake the memory of the one who painted the ENTIRE house in feces art. 2 stories, every room.

I took a 5 year hiatus from BP but despite all of the deals, ups and downs I found my way back.
