“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
― Albert Einstein
“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfil it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”
― Mother Teresa
“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”
― Dr. Seuss
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
― Dr. Seuss, Happy Birthday to You!
Albert had it going on. Mother Teresa had seen it all. Dr. Seuss was nuts.

This evening a friend reminded me about a band from the Eighties that I had utterly forgotten about. Here's an unashamedly Eighties-look video for the song "The Motive" by British pop band Then Jerico from back-in-1987.
I'm reliably informed that the band are still playing and are playing gigs this year. Like it.

Despite not being a Floydy, I do love the way David Gilmore can make his guitar sing. And this song contains one of the most compelling rock guitar solo sequences ever.
Ever.
2013-10-31 EDIT: Not Gdansk any longer as that YouTube Video is no longer available. This version is, however, very good too!

I have some fairly conservative views, which do not jive with the liberal mainstream vibe. I am unapologetic about that. I also find some of the - apparently - wacky conspiracy theories quite intriguing. For example - Did the USA really send men to the moon? Were there suspicious government aspects to the 9/11 terrorist attack? Is there a cabal of private industry concerns planning to take over the world? I don't know, but some of the questions asked and evidence cited by some of the conspiracy theorists demand a little investigation. Unfortunately I have a living to make so someone else has to do that job for now.
Bottom line: I'm open to debate and inquiry. However, there are some people whom you just don't want on your side. Or even in your company. Or ear shot. Take Alex Jones, for example. (I mean it: Please - Take him away.)
Here is Alex Jones making a complete arse of himself and, in the process, flushing any credibility his arguments might have right down the toilet.
On the other hand, here we have a clear-headed American and ex-marine making some of the same points in a much more reasoned way. I know who I'd rather have come to tea.
