Without fail, I learn from a Christian that I’ll be going to Hell, each week — since I lack the “faith” they hold so dear. Fine. The argument was also tossed into my face that 2.1 billion humans on this Earth believe in this entity they’re passionate about. Not counting the 1.5 billion that are into the Islam jive. And the others into others. I obviously must be missing something.

Today, I leaned that Limp Bizkit will be reuniting. The band that mainstream media forged into the hearts of Sheeple, America, and turned-on and tumbled just as fast. In 1999, Limp Bizkit’s album “Significant Other” reached number 1 on the Billboard 200 and sold 16 million copies worldwide.

Someone bought that shit, too.

As far as Limp Bizkit reuniting, I’d say their chances are as good as Zeus and Thor taking domination back, on a global level. Though, I’ve seen and heard stranger shit.
