You've claimed all this time that you would die for me, why then are you surprised to hear your own Eulogy? ~ Maynard James Keenan (Tool)

If you’ve talked to me for more than an hour, you know I’m a Tool fan. If you’re going to read this blog, expect lots of gems from Reverend Maynard.  This quote applies to one of my 5 rules. Don’t ask or offer something, if you aren’t willing to follow through on it. ]]> If you’ve talked to me for more than an hour, you know I’m a Tool fan.

People drink, not because they’re smarter, they drink because it’s available.
I’ve have 5 rules in my life, I’m thinking of adding a 6th one, which is related to #3. It should be.. people do things because they’re lazy.

A society in in delusion, will stay in a state of delusion. This pop psych article just proves it.

PS: I’m also going to add my theory that smarter kids drink more, because they usually make more money, hence have more money to drink.

Whether she was justified in getting that close, or it’s a lapse in his security is a different thing. She was taken down, rightfully so, anyone in their right frame of mind would get her away from there, as no one knew who she was or what she trying to do.  It still doesn’t condone putting your foot on her head after she’s clearly restrained, but the last time someone got this close to a politician, a bomb went off, and a prime minister hopeful was dead.  Please don’t tell me that it couldn’t happen in the US of A.

Conclusion? Putting your head on a clearly subdued protester Bad.

Getting stupidly close to a politician when you aren’t cleared by the security detail? Stupid.
