There is something important that you need to know in order to understand my Tribe (and me, as well). Like I may have said before, we’re a pretty smart bunch. We were the ones who were told that we were gifted and were going to go and be Tomorrow’s Leaders. The problem with that sentiment is that it wears off pretty damn quickly. I think part of being truly smart is being able to recognize bullshit when it’s being slung at you (and believe you me, this Tomorrow’s Leaders stuff is some pretty thick manure. Powerful strong. Like, Bandini-quality bullshit). And, usually, after one is enlightened to the amount of bullshit there is in the world, one realizes that there is only one course of action for the truly intelligent and sane human being, and that is to have as much fun as possible.
Some people take drugs. Some people amass a fortune. Some people have gobs and gobs of sex. Some people get into politics so they can do all three at once.
And, while the members of my Tribe certainly dig the first three (I have a standing order with my friends to shoot me between the eyes if I ever get involved in politics and mean it), I can safely say that there is one thing that truly makes our lives exciting and wonderful. Our raison d’�tre. The thing that keeps us going day after day.
That thing is Goofy Shit.
