How we get there

There's a blood moon tonight which has made some of my twitter friends post helpful things on twitter like this:

Which then reminds me of this song:

Clarity in Space

The new optics upgrade for the space telescope are pretty cool. They take out a lot of the blurring telescopes get due to the atmosphere.

The difference is pretty amazing. My grandad and I used to talk about space stuff when he was still around. Every once in a while I see something I think he'd get a kick out of. I think this qualifies.

Drop the World

Honestly, who knew I'd like anything by Lil Wayne? Most of his stuff is a little rough for me, but I keep coming back to "Drop the World." It speaks to the level anger and pain that's out there right now, but there's a defiance to it, too.

The background music brings in a lot of the feeling of almost post-apocalyptic isolation. There should be tires burning and I should have a tire iron in one hand and a chain wrapped around the fist of the other hand.

Obviously, this won't do for my everyday kind of existence. I've got to live in the non-apocalyptic real world. But if the world burns down tomorrow, I know which song is the first on my We-all-gonna-die playlist.
