Wes Borland’s Twitter account is typically a little dry. Sure he keeps up on the cutting edge of new music and movies, but usually it’s just stuff about being on tour with Limp Bizkit and all the exciting TV watching that happens in hotel rooms during it (even if he is self aware enough about it). To be honest, we thought Wes would be a little more wild.
But a few days ago, Wes decided he was going to do some outreach. Just dip a toe in and see what he could do to help his tweeps out in this thing we call life.
I'm going to throw out some suggestions for the next little while. Let's see if you like any of them.

The first couple of tidbits were maybe predictably music-based.
1. Here's some 'real" non software gear you might want to get: -Casio SK-1 -Echoplex -Atari Punk Circuit Synth -Roland Paraphonic 505

2. Be careful when you attempt to slap and pop a bass. It might not sound as good to others as it does to you.

But from there it veered pretty seamlessly into sweet lifehack territory:
3. When leaving a party or bar, always ask a small group where the toilet is and say you'll be right back. Then go home.

And quickly into the realest talk.
7. Nobody is paying as much attention to you as you think they are. If you need to pee, you can probably get away with it anywhere.

And the PUNKEST talk.
13. Don't watch commercials. Ever. Hide your eyes and mute the TV or computer. There's nothing there that will benefit you.

Dude also has some really good common sense.
17. Wearing sunglasses at night and in dark environments is way more weird and suspect than it is cool.

And some nerd tendancies.
24. A wise man once said: "If you're ready for zombies, you're ready for anything." I think I believe that.

Honestly, some of it is pretty beautiful. This shit could be on Pinterest.
33. Use your gut for the big decisions and logic for the small ones. In matters of the heart, the right side of the brain will always win.

STOP WE’RE BLUSHING.
56. You're beautiful without the make up.

It’s too bad he stopped at #70 a few hours ago; this one is troof.
70. Avoid engaging in serious discussions with adults over 30 about conspiracy theories.
