Why I love YouTube…
YouTube is not just about the absolute wonderment of sharing videos and making things go viral, the beauty of it all is mainly the COMMENTS section.
For example: On a Mumford and Sons song video the top comments with more than a hundred thumbs up each were-
With such comments the whole video/audio experience becomes so much more delightful that it ends up becoming your most visited web address after google. :)
Words of wisdom…perhaps…words of comfort!
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
― Charles Bukowski, Factotum
It was true that I didn’t have much ambition, but there ought to be a place for people without ambition, I mean a better place than the one usually reserved. How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?

Grunge is back on the scene!
They made a comeback (almost 14 years later) with the ‘Avengers’ track ‘Live to Rise’ and now their sixth studio album ‘King Animal’ is set to release on November 13, 2012. This is the first single released from their upcoming album-“Been Away too long”-touché.
…though I am not too sure about how much I really ‘like’ this song, maybe…they had been away for far too long… :/
The most interesting quote from the paper today.
Reviewing novelist Shahriar Mandanipour’s “Censoring an Iranian Love Story”, the noted critic James Wood of The New Yorker writes: “Perhaps we look enviously at those who have the misfortune to live in countries where literature is taken seriously enough to be censored, and writers venerated with imprisonment.”
