this guy i used to know told me that a gunslinger needs to resist six temptations. thinking too much about winning, getting too reliant on good technique, showing off for its own sake, showing off to intimidate your foe, being too reactive, & trying to avoid the previous temptations. sounds like so much samurai bullshit, but right now i'm figuring that number seven probably should have been the temptation to follow giant bloodsucking bugs into cornfields where there is zero visibility. i'd try to listen for the thing, but this fucking downpour makes hearing anything wishful thinking. the way i see it, my best bet is to use myself as bait & keep my eyes open for swaying stalks. a gunslinger accepts the inevitability of his own death so that he may bring death to others, or some such philosophical masturbation. i take comfort in the fact that miyamoto musashi showed up for duels hungover & unshaven. i guess i'm doing something right.
