I feel a lot of people take away the wrong things from ‘The Prince’. Yes, it does say “It is best to be both feared and loved; however, if one cannot be both it is better to be feared than loved.”
But it also teaches the importance how being a good person is not enough to get by in the world, and that it must be combined with strength the make the goodness matter. I think if more good people understood that we wouldn’t have this bizarre situation where kindness is so often mistaken for weakness.
That’s a really inelegant way of putting it, but my point is ‘The Prince’ isn’t as much of a handbook for ruthlessness as people seem to think it is.
It’s half past midnight, I’m sat by my window drinking a glass of wine, listening to Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonarta and reading ‘The Prince’ by Niccolo Machiavelli.
I feel I’m one goatee away from being a parody of a James Bond villain.
I’d do this. Who wants to go?
Plans for Next Year (and beyond) - New Orleans
For the Jazz Festival, and for Mardi Gras. The problem is convincing enough friends to come with me to make it worth while, I can’t think of a single one of them who wouldn’t be up for it, but the problem, as ever, is money.
I’m not surprised this happened, it’s one of the most dangerous things I did while I was away, I just got lucky that I had a good group of friends that all looked out for each other, and I didn’t get so drunk that I couldn’t swim. I’m glad I’ve done it, it was a birthday I’ll never forget.
As for what happens now, I hope people still go there. Without tubing I’m sure it will be quieter, but it’s still a beautiful town to visit. We did have a problem with the locals though, being threatened with guns over the cost of having to buy a few bike tires put a real downer on the whole trip.
No one on this planet can tell you what to believe. People like to talk a lot, and they like to deceive.

Yeah. Nope, not taking the bait this time.
