don't drink too much and don't hit anyone
yep, pretty much the words any counsellor should say to any number of their charges before they go headlong into a crowded place.
not my counsellor mind you, this was really a line from Silver Linings Playbook. A movie recently recommended and recently seen and now recently adored for being something more than two hours of swearing nonsensical dialogue so in-depth it gave Katniss Everdeen the Oscar.
Made sense to me. Maybe people with mental health issues see things in the world people non-blessed with such a burden don't?
I think Randy Grossman put it another way:
"You have to be a little bit bent to get to the top of any profession".
He meant the word bent as an alternative for broken, or twisted, but both those words have parallel connotations which don't equate well to accomplishment. So bent works well, it's just it gets misconstrued these days on account of the sexuality issue. Daffy off BB recently got his wrist slapped for uttering the word. So I think unless you're using it in a sentence concerning DIY or having to free people trapped in burning wreckage (e.g. "The fuel tank's about to blow and the chassis is all bent!!!") best off leaving it alone. which is a shame because Randy Grossman did have a point.
Van Gogh, Beethoven, Tyson, Hitler.
Technically the last man isn't personally the most violent of the four but you see the (odd) point.
The movie gave me hope. Something I haven't had a lot of these days. ever since Xmas eve rolled round with a gallon of snot and vomit.
I feel better. really, really Clay Matthews/Predator roaring better.
Christmas was an utter disaster. Dr. Who and Charlie Brooker aside.
Now we move on to the Superbowl. An outdoor northern Superbowl set under the great New York skyline right in the middle of a polar vortex. What can POSSIBLY go wrong?
