I’m upset because I want to change the world but the world is too big and people are too mean
“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” - Rabbi Tarfon
hell is right-clicking to save an image and accidentally clicking ‘email image’ and having to wait forty years for some email program you didn’t even know existed to rise from its slumber like some lovecraftian ancient god, meanwhile the fans on your laptop are preparing for takeoff and you stare dead-eyed as the rainbow spirals, spirals, spirals. you wait and suffer this cosmic karma. days pass. “just a few more seconds” you slur. your laptop freezes and the concept of time is no longer comprehensible. your family and friends forget your name and you fade from existence.
It’s true! And not just in Egypt, it’s recorded as a standard burglar technique in 12th century Persia. So much so that catching a fellow in the middle of the night carrying a crowbar and a drill wouldn’t necessarily prove anything, but if he also had a live tortoise with him, well it could only be a professional burglar.
“The tortoise is employed thus. The burglar has with him a
flint-stone and a candle about as big as a little finger. He lights the
candle and sticks it on the tortoise’s back. The tortoise is then
introduced through the breach into the house, and it crawls slowly
around, thereby illuminating the house and its contents.”
yknow what, im gonna get on my soapbox for a second
ray toro would have been considered a guitar legend if mcr wasnt written off as a shitty emo band, he would have been known as one of the best guitar players of our time if mcr had been percieved as idk, a classic rock band. im pissed over the fact that he doesnt get the respect he deserves and im sick of people writing him off as lousy bc they cant get over the fact that hes an amazing guitarist and mcr was a good band
the range of styles that ray toro not only plays well, but easily transition to and from is absolutely amazing, which comes from years of hard work and should be acknowledged as such. the guitar solo in any mcr song slaps across the board bc ray knows how to write a song and execute the solos well and the dismissal of him is absolutely criminal. the fact that he has played with brian may and held his own is stupendous. i know im not getting my point across bc i cant type what im trying to say but honestly, raymond toro deserved way better than what he was given
