Free Fallin'

According the Feng Shui calendar that I keep on my desk at work, today is the day to perform the "Petty Person Ritual". Apparently, the ritual involves luring a petty person into a vast open area or under a bridge and proceeding to beat the petty out of them. It is helpful if the petty person volunteers for the ritual.

After reading this, it kind of makes me think whether all those documentaries I've seen on gang violence and gang initiation rituals were just a big misunderstanding. Perhaps those youths were just overly concerned about their chi and trying to keep their yin and their yang in balance?

In any case, I'm not really a violent person so instead I decided I would just listen to a Tom Petty album later on tonight. I hope this has the same effect.

"...and I'll keep this world from draggin' me down, gonna stand my ground and I won't back down"

At first glance I thought you were encouraging the abuse of PRETTY people. I was into it!
