Music Monday – “Wake up, it’s a beautiful morning/The sun shining for your eyes/Wake up, it’s so beautiful/For what could be the very last time”

Obviously an impossible question but whenever there’s a “What’s your favourite song of all-time” question, I always pick “Find The River” by R.E.M. I love how melancholy and poetic and longing that song is. There’s another song that’s in my Top 10 and which is probably a contender for number one – “Wake Up Boo!” […]

This happened on Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania today pic.twitter.com/ONUUGOdtrH — ?_ Imposter_? (@Imposter_Edits) March 28, 2022 This video clip is insane (and sad – apparently five people died as a result of this multi-car pile-up in Pennsylvania when a snow squall blew in suddenly.)

The World’s Longest Waterslide (And Some Thoughts on Zen Videos, Feelings of Melancholy and Modern Technology)

There’s something very zen about watching a video of someone going down the Guinness World Record Holding world’s longest waterslide which snakes through a jungle in Malaysia (some feel that the slowness of the slide is a negative but I disagree.) At the same time, there’s also something melancholy about thinking about how vast our […]
