My friend Mitchell (don't call him Mitch) and I drove to Winston-Salem yesterday to see The Mantras. We listened to Tool for the whole drive up. The show was outdoors and hot as all hell. Rynne was there when we arrived and we sat together for a while. I took pictures of the band. It wasn't until about 3am when the thoughts started flowing and I could not stop them until I got up at 5am and wrote about my latest revelation. What I wrote was too personal to post here, I'm afraid. I did come to some rather startling conclusions by starting with different premises. I believe I've identified a flaw in my character. I think I need to rescue these females and only end up both, failing to change them and suffering from attempt. I want to be happier being alone than with women with flawed characters. I used to be a serious judge of character and somehow have let my feelings delude me into falling for fantasy rather than facing reality.

Two Rules:

1. You cannot wear a band t-shirt to see the band on the shirt. Doesn't everyone know this?

2. You cannot wear a band t-shirt when you've never seen the band live. Especially if it is the Grateful Dead and you were only 5 years old when they played their last show.

Or festival t-shirt if you didn't attend the festival. Unless it is a gift, in which case you will be require to say, "my ________ went to see this festival and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

I've narrowed it down to three jokes that explain almost all human behavior.
1. A policman finds a drunk on his hands and knees under a streetlight looking for something.

Cop says, "What are you looking for?"
Drunk says, "my keys."
Cop says, "did you lose them here?"
Drunks says, "no. over there by the door.
Cop says, "why are you looking here?"
Drunk says, "the light's better."

2. Q. What does a dog lick his balls?
A. Because he can!

3. Show me the most beautiful woman in the world and I'll show you some guy who's tired of fucking her.

So, we usually don't value what we have, are looking in the wrong places and just doing what is easiest and feels good. Sad isn't it. As you go through your day observing the behavior of those around you, see if one of these jokes doesn't explain their behavior.
