<p>I'd like to share with you a new found technique I've been using in my life that has helped me out in making the tough choices. I'm hoping in sharing my experiences others will come forward with their own life events and how using this technique has affected their lives.</p><p>Let's say you've got a serious situation - a bad debt you owe to the bookie, an illegitimate child comes into your life, an ex-girlfriend is pouring gasoline on the side of your house, a double homicide and you might be directly related to the incident - ask yourself, </p><p> <font face="arial black,avant garde" size="3">WWBD? What Would Bennington Do.</font></p><p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="1">The other night I was lying in my couch watching Clockwork Orange when the doorbell rang. I answered the door to find my ex-girlfriend standing there, begging to come in to "talk" (it was 3AM).</font></p><p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="1">Well, I had quite a situation on my hands.</font></p><p>I've got no interest in going out with her anymore: she's from Boken and I'm from Brooklyn; she's standing at my door drunk and in tears - I don't want to take advantage of her and letting her in would be sketchy at best, particularly b/c I'm not sure if she's crazy enough to threaten my life...so I asked myself -</p><p>WWBD?</p><p>I let her in. Hoboken's far away. I'm not gonna kick her out of the apartment and make her treck back like a savage in the middle of the night plus she's drunk enough that I could make all kinds of fake promises to her in the evening and she won't remember them in the morning. </p><p>When daylight broke she found me "sleeping on the couch." I explained to her that she threw herself at me in my bed and coming to the couch was the only way I could get some peace. She felt so guilty that she bought me breakfast. As I sat there eating my egg sandwhich (staring at the clump of what she assumed was hair gel later on) I couldn't help but think about how WWBD helped me through this ordeal with confidence.</p><p>Thanks Ron!</p><p>I hope others will share their life events and questions and how Mr B. might handle them. Until then, SeeyA!</p><p>Tomato_V</p>
