Oh, and also… fuck you, AFD. I am so not in the mood for that crap. One day is one day too many.

I seriously need a “cleaning out my tab bar” category tag.
Chops Winterguard, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It’s unclear if they’re performing this season or next season, but I want to ask if they take performers who have aged out since Independent World class guards don’t have an age limit.
Legacy Winterguard, based in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas. Same deal as Chops.
Rosemead School of Psychology, part of Biola University in California. Just a thought.
J.K. Rowling’s commencement speech to Harvard in June 2008, “The Fringe Benefits of Failure“. It’s actually a decent read. I didn’t bother actually watching the speech ’cause that’s not really my thing.
I don’t know what to think about this picture, but I’m 100% sure that Luke 22:36 is incorrectly quoted. [EDIT: Luke 22:36 is known as 'The Sword Verse' and reads "He said to them, 'But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.'" in the NIV version of the Bible. It is, unfortunately, not as inaccurately quoted as I thought.]
Chuck Palahniuk, one of my brother’s favorite authors. Johnny says, “I love his social commentary” and has read Fight Club, Diary, and most recently Invisible Monsters. Good for future gift-giving reference.
On Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs. Skip over the weird “Killology” part at the top and it’s actually thought-provoking. I believe I’m becoming more libertarian in my old age.
Winterguard Vids on YouTube. I got through Code Black’s 2007 performance before the internet died on me and I lost patience with tosses I couldn’t see from the top bleacher.
