Peterson & BBQ Nachos
This blog post touched me. Peterson was divine. I’m going to write about his performance soon. And maybe before that, I’ll get me some of them NACHOS! YUM!!!
Remember: Never permit your reality to be alloyed.
Tatyana (aka "The Coolest Bride EVER!") sent this along (I also found it online here):
speaking of scientology….. which I know you are trying to avoid…
get this (see Fox News.com’s article by Roger Freidman
Some of the rules outlined in Scientology’s Code of Honor, which was part of the package that Roger Friedman of Fox News received from Tom Cruise (via his sister and new publicist, who converted to Scientology at Tom’s insistence):
- Never desert a comrade in need, in danger, or in trouble.
- Never desert a group to which you owe your support.
- Never need praise, approval, or sympathy.
- Never permit your reality to be alloyed.
- Do not give or receive communication unless you desire it.
- Your integrity to yourself is more important than your body.
- Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your tomorrow.
- Never fear to hurt another in a just cause.
- Don’t desire to be liked or admired.
VERY WEIRD! How does one allow one’s reality to be alloyed? The Wiktionary says that the verb form of "alloy" is "to mix or combine." So I can’t let my reality to be mixed? So my reality is objective and can’t be made up of differing elements? Hmm.
I also find the suggestion "Never need praise, approval, or sympathy." Sure, that’s handy, but I just don’t think it’s possible. You don’t always get to decide how to feel. As humans, we sure do seem to need to belong and to be loved. I mean, HELLO! Maslow anyone?
I have reports to write. I have no more time for this insane man. I have a feeling his publicist may kill him/herself soon. This is a whole lot of very bad overexposure, and it just gets weirder and weirder. I think Nicole Kidman should count herself among the lucky. I identified a lot with her when Tom first left her, because I was going through the same thing at the same time, but sometimes… sometimes there is a good reason. Man, I’m really glad my ex isn’t a psych-nut. Seriously.
MUST WORK!
SCORE!
