Are You Ready?

Today's note is a light hearted interlude to our normal more intense flavor. We talk a lot about being ready and prepared for anything. Mostly, that anything comes in the form of level of violence rather than just plain strangeness.

Keeping focused through nonsensical situations as well as the full on chaos of hyperviolence seems the essence of self-defense and self-protection. Be ready to stay focused regardless of the seeming absurdity of the situation.

A great line from the movie Hoosiers: "Look, mister, there's... two kinds of dumb, uh... guy that gets naked and runs out in the snow and barks at the moon, and, uh, guy who does the same thing in my living room. First one don't matter, the second one you're kinda forced to deal with."
