A Group of Links

Well, I've been gathering a list of interesting\peculiar\funny things from the web, so I might as well share them: (unlucky for you if you're not amused.)

Myst in real life. - This reminds me of my friend who was once (still is?) obsessed with this game.

Manson mockery. - Don't get me wrong, I like the band's music, but this is pretty funny.

Illiterate college students. -Unfortunately the original article isn't on the CNN site where it used to be anymore, but it was a good article.

Thank God for all the good things in the world. - I think this is more funny if you have ever heard/sang the song.

Rock on. - A particularly good strip from this great webcomic.

The heist. - You have to be impressed by an epic pull like this.

Drug Progress. - Another one from the BBC, I strongly supposrt this kind of work.

Meaning of Life. - This deliberately random webcomic has a few strips. This one reminds me of a friend of mine who I haven't seen in quite some time. I think she'd really find the adventures of White Ninja amusing.

Who's the Juggernaut? - This one might not be so far off the beaten path, you've probably aready seen it. It's still worth a post.

Sad. - I don't even remember how I came across this one. Takes place in Colorado though. I find this very depressing. I also happened to be listening to Coldplay - What If? at the time. It worked.


By the way, props to other people who showed many of these to me.

Umm, I'm lazy. There are more, but not till later.

Memories Remembered

Isn't it interesting how some memories, however brief, come fleetingly back to the mind repeatedly?

One for example which just struck me:
I was a little kid, doing kid stuff in the back yard, and my dad came out to do some garden work. (51st ave, backyard.) He told me "I can hold this bucket up-side-down over my head with water and not get wet." I was so skeptical and naieve to the world. He swong the 5-gallon bucket over his head, half full of water, and of course, with centrifical force, no water came out.

Discovery, enlightenment, learning how tricky words can be used to express truths of different meanings. I'd like to think that this seemingly inconsequential time and experience was a turning point in my mental life.
A good memory. Sort of makes my soul churn. How far we've all come...

A reminiscent-esque song to go with it: The Calling - Wherever You Will Go.
"If I could, and I would, I'll go wherever you will go. Way up high, or down low, I'll go wherever you will go."
