“Love Song For A Schubas Bartender” - Margot & The Nuclear So & So’s

Pour my drink so we can
Have ourselves a good time
You’re the reason people lose their minds

When they’re all around you
And you don’t know
What you’ve done

For Sass Myers. 

And the So & So I made an illicit trade with in the DePaul Barnes & Noble.

It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great.

 Because there’s no crying in baseball. THERE’S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL! No crying!

ACTA in a Nutshell –

What is ACTA?  ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.

Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”

What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

“Buddha was well known for his ability to respond to evil with good.
And there was a man that knew about this reputation and he traveled miles and miles to test Buddha.

When he got in Buddha’s presence he verbally abused him, he insulted and offended him.
Buddha was unmoved.

He simply turned to the man and said: ‘ May I ask you a question?’
The man agreed and said: ‘ Well what?’

Buddha: ‘ When someone offers you a gift and you decline to accept it, to whom then does it belong?’
Man: ‘ Well then it belongs to the person who offered it.’
Buddha smiled: ‘That is correct.’

Buddha: So if I decline to accept your abuse, does it not then still belong to you?
The man was speechless and left.”

Yeahhhh… not the same. Sucks for you, Spaniards!
