I can't help myself II

I can see how that kind of speech would work on a bunch of high school football players, but somehow to me it seems immature and a bit over the top.

I agree Denis. It is immature and a bit over the top, but isn't that high school par excellence? I posted it exactly for that reason, b/c it reminded of countless times inside a rugby or football locker room, waiting to engage in the way that warriors do. To be sure, some level of insanity (regardless how calm one can be) is needed to try and kill somebody in a ritualized-makes-absolutely-no-sense-kind-of-way.

That said, there is no difference between this and the video below, nor with other forms of psyching yourself up like the Haka videos I posted on AlfA in the past:

And there are great messages here, like ridiculous abandon for your cause, heheh.

In the end, it's all a matter of style, and in one sense, this is sadly what it may take to get up every morning and go to work, ugh, heheh.
