Double Dagger - "Vivre Sans Temps Mort" "Hey everybody, how ya doin', I'm Trevor, I'm gonna be your team leader today up there on the climb, okay? You ever need anything, you talk to me, don't hesitate to ask me any questions. There are no stupid questions, okay? Not at all, I'm open to any and all concerns. 'Cause I'd hate for you to NOT ask me a question and then something happen because of it, you know what I mean? So, what you're gonna need to know as we start up the slope here is that it's all difficult, okay? There are no easy parts to this climb. There's not a time when you get to relax and say "gee, oh, okay, I'll have a chat and a snack and not pay attention to what I'm doing." There's no time for that, okay? It's all difficult, it all requires your attention and it doesn't ever get easier. And that includes, and this is deadly important, the climb down. Everyone thinks that's the easy part and they can just fuck off for the ride of it, you know? And it's fun, oh sure, it's exciting, la dee da, I climbed a mountain, I'm a big fuckin' rich white guy, or girl of course, and I'm flyin' down this mountain like I'm a big stupid idiot 'cause I can't wait to get to the bar down at the resort at the bottom. Well, wake up you sissy bitches, this is real business, this is your life, you have to concentrate, otherwise you'll have your life privileges revoked. By me. And by God. By me and God. Me and God are gonna kill you, understand? Concentrate. Focus. Look at me. Look at the back of me, of the back of your in-front buddy, and maintain some damn awareness of the things that are about to happen." *a wide-eyed finger across the throat, he quickly turns and bounds leaping up the side of the mountain* [Buy] Posted by Dan at June 12, 2009 12:19 PMComments
