Mind over matter

Saw an incredible group of people last night doing this thing called a full body suspension. Six men and four women stood five on each side of the stage (two women and three men), backs facing backs, kneeling about six to eight feet from the other five. Each person had two hooks pierced through the skin between their shoulder blades connected to long cords. An assistant connected the cords to the permanent rings pierced through the sides of an eleventh man's torso and legs and moving as a group, the ten people lifted him up. He hung for a good five minutes (the duration of a Tool song) and swayed back and forth as the ten moved in unison to the music. Amazing. And just before that, other members of the group put on a fire dance that kicked ass. Plus, there were three bands that played about 40 minute sets each before that (first and last were pretty cool...the second was mostly a bunch of screaming and me going, "What?"). And all that for $2. Hot damn.

Ok, I promise not to make a habit of posting this quiz stuff, but this one just made me laugh:

click to take it!


You're slick, sleek, and you waste no time when there's a mission to be taken care of. You do what you're told, even if it sometimes means risking your life. You care for others to such an extent that you'd do anything for the ones you love. Not only that, but you're stylish, original, agile, and passionate.
