Oh God.... Oh god, oh god, oh god... Oh god. (By the way, I'm an atheist.) Oh god! Oh Darwin, oh Darwin. Darwin, Darwin, Darwin... (I wonder if he played dice)

There are times when I really long for the return of Unnameable
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
Tomorrow is Monday and I really hate Mondays.
I got my 15 minutes on the Forums, now it's time to mow the lawn.
I'm thinking about sex again. It's that woman with the glasses walking past... Gone now.
It's time, I'm afraid.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
I just discovered Joy Division. What the **** have I been doing with my life?

The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal."

I'm thinking of something that begins with the letter S.
Contemplating hitch-hiking across Canada.

Making a list of nurseries to hit tomorrow! HahaHA!!!
How many experts on Nietzsche suddenly appear. LOL
I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I was obsessed with Nietzsche for 3 years and would up reading most of his corpus multiple times over.

Waiting for a thought to coalesce. That moment in human history when a grunt meant "look at that beautiful sunset Mary". Was that the start of everything human?
Edit: That moment when people realised that the world around them could be described by sounds.
And then realised that abstracts could be expressed using the same tool eg, I like the sunset.
Did abstract thought and language develop together?
Language is an abstract construct I suppose, so we are back to that link between the physical world and a series of grunts. That was some breakthrough.

Gagnam Style has over 1.6 billion youtube views, the highest view count I could find for a Mozart composition was 35 million. Something wrong with the world today.

Haha, what a coincidence, this past weekend we held a an Texas country college graduation ceremony for my niece (some might call it red neck graduation since it was accompanied with beer, crawfish, guns and fireworks). She graduated from law school in Oregon and wasn't able to attend there, so we held it locally.
...Anyhow, one sister was wearing a tee shirt with that Gagnam Style Psy (?) dude printed on it. I had no clue who this sigh character was, until I listened to it just now.
Hell, you mention the travesty compared to Mozart, I say what about Burl Ives ... only 10,118 views, are you kidding me?!.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6cscoeHW64
