I never really watched it... I've seen some of it here and there, but that's about it.

That's disturbing.

Have you ever seen a pig inside out?

Also, I still want to be a Jedi.

Um... no... can't say I have.

Hmm...in the course of 24 hours I forgot where I was going with that question. It wasn't as disturbing as it seems though.

Anberlin?

They've never really interested me... I don't like tying knots, either.

Ehh... what's Sword of Damocles?

Basically, the king wanted a guy who complained to know what it was like to be a king, so he hung a sword over his head...hanging by a hair.

Or, The Damocles of the anecdote was an excessively flattering courtier in the court of Dionysius II of Syracuse, a fourth century BC tyrant of Syracuse. Damocles exclaimed that, as a great man of power and authority, Dionysius was truly fortunate. Dionysius offered to switch places with him for a day, so he could taste first hand that fortune. In the evening a banquet was held where Damocles very much enjoyed being waited upon like a king. Only at the end of the meal did he look up and notice a sharpened sword hanging directly above his head by a single horse-hair. Immediately, he lost all taste for the fine foods and beautiful women and asked leave of the tyrant, saying he no longer wanted to be so fortunate.

Dionysius had successfully conveyed a sense of the constant fear in which the great man lives. Cicero uses this story as the last in a series of contrasting examples for reaching the conclusion he had been moving towards in this fifth Disputation, in which the theme is that virtue is sufficient for living a happy life. Cicero asks

"Does not Dionysius seem to have made it sufficiently clear that there can be nothing happy for the person over whom some fear always looms?"

Mine is simpler.

What say you?

RB1:

Guitar: Welcome Home.

Drums: Wanted Dead or Alive (mostly because it's my best song on Expert XD).

Singing: I don't know... I didn't really sing much on RB1 for some reason... probably Say It Ain't So.

RB2:

Guitar: At the moment, Any Way You Want It.

Drums:That's What You Get.

Singing: It's between Down With the Sickness, Chop Suey! and One Step Closer.
