Socrates & Obama

[Bled Welder]

I could not watch it.  I tried.  Because the person I was with was glued to
it.  It was military.  There were a bunch of troops lining his path, forget
about it.  Did he pray?  No I got really upset, started yelling, when some
blind idiot in heavy shades and bobbing head all smiley was banging on a
piano.

The closest I get to religion is not our government, not Jesus, not Ishkur,
but I have actually mated with Inanna, or I should say she mated me.

We all reach pinnacles of our lives.  As a matter of logic this must be
true, we don't just keep getting higher all the time.  When Floyd went into
Pompeii, that was not only their moment, but it was rocks moment.  Nothing
greater has been achieved since.  From minute 10 to 13.5, is the greatest
jam in rock history.

Pompeii is the closest I come to a religious experience.  Jesus didn't even
exist.  But Mason, he's right fucking there....

I've had hair down to my waist before, but of late I've been sporting the
Pitt do from Fight Club, but you know what, I'm going to honor the immortal
Roger Waters with the 70s do, long over the ears to the shoulders, but with
bangs--I think Socrates had the same style....
