   That uniform part is just going too far - you ought to be proud for defying   
   that one!

   I don't like things stuck in my ears, so the etymotic plugs' size doesn't   
   seem to matter to me - all I know is that I'd rather not have them stuck in   
   my ears...unless it's to preserve my hearing, in which case, I'd much rather   
   not waste my life with Idiots who are trying to make me as deaf as they've   
   already STUPIDLY made themselves!

   Or start a new band, WITHOUT the old Problems! I know, easier said than done   
   but still worth the effort.

   I find that nonsense silly, but you're into fancy lights so that figures ;)
