"considerately killing me.."

little needs to be said about a band called Tool. if you know of them then i need not say any more. if you do not know of them then there is little hope for you, but to shape up and find some Tool.. now!

was pleasantly surprised to be gifted Tool tickets for the concert tonight, and even more pleasantly surprised that the boss was considerate enough to give me friday night off.

this is one concert that i have been waiting for ever since i was eleven. not in the same way i always wanted to go watch Metallica, or still want to catch Alice In Chains, or will never be able to see Nirvana. Tool is an almost spiritual experience, like a pilgrimage.

Think for yourself, Question authority

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.

Think for yourself, Question authority.
