Let's lighten the mood for a moment, shall we?
Although I think this is absolutely amazing, when I showed this video to my 2 year old nephew he started screaming "No! Noooooooooo!"
Did you know that Madagascar was an eco-system that had evolved without predators? So there were all sorts of crazy huge awesome herbivores? And that before man arrived there were lemurs as big as Gorillas! And huge flightless birds? Well there were. At least that's what David Attenborough told me in his tv special about a big egg, and I enjoyed the whole thing thoroughly.
("No. Noooooooooooooooo!")
It's nice to be back blog-o. Let's do this more often, shall we?

A poem
Sometimes I think –
The world is made of poems.
They hide in crevices
Hibernate in rock
Call out silently
Madenning whispers that dance on the air
And other times I think
Who are you to describe
The sound of children playing
Four buildings away.

Che Fece
For some people the day comes
when they have to declare the great Yes
or the great No. It's clear at once who has the Yes
ready within him; and saying it,
he goes from honor to honor, strong in his conviction.
He who refuses does not repent. Asked again,
he'd still say no. Yet that no-the right no-
drags him down all his life.
