Saw this video on HealthBolt. This is a “final lecture”, a lecture series designed to be given by a professor as if it’s his final lecture, as if there will be no more, as if he will pass away soon after.
Well, for this professor it IS one of his final lectures. And what a character!!

He says brick walls are there not to keep everyone out but only those that are not ambitious enough to go through the wall. How? Be creative, I suppose. “By any means necessary” comes to mind.
That and to never write people off. Never form an opinion about a person based on your first impression. Give them time and they will surprise you.
“Life is an interesting thingamajigger. Too bad everybody dies… too bad.”
So, this is our river after a little rain…
My bathroom doesn’t even look this crappy after a major shit-storm…
This river can be really disgusting… oi oi oi
I think I’ve seen this a few hundred times now on the net. It is, however, quite joyful to finally connect a name with a face 
NewsVoid.com took the trouble of finding and pasting the photos. Here’s number 9 for example:
#9 Lee Seung Seop (2005)
28-year-old Korean video game addict collapsed in an Internet
cafe after playing Starcraft & World of Warcraft for almost 50 consecutive hours. About six weeks before his death, he had
been fired from his job for missing work to play computer games.

It is a pity, really. This month is not being too nice on the great. My co-worker’s grandfather had passed away, Yeltsin, and now Rostropovich.
Not good news at all.
Alas, this is a part of life, methinks.
There is a nice article on him that I found in Yahoo news. Actually, Kara found it, but no matter.
Rostropovich stirred souls with playing that was both intense and seemingly effortless. He fought for the rights of Soviet-era dissidents and later triumphantly played Bach suites below the crumbling Berlin Wall.
In his last public appearance, at his birthday celebration in the Kremlin on March 27, Rostropovich was frail but still able to show his capacity for joy and generosity.
Wow. !!!!!! Think about it… He was 80. As in eight zero… as in one more than seventy nine… and STILL playing. Strength like this, both physical and more importantly mental is a thing to envy.
Lately I find myself talking to people and forgetting what the fuck we’re talking about 1/2 way through the conversation. I mean it’s a worthless conversation anyway, about the weather and someone’s kids, but no matter. 80… Still playing his cello… kicking ass!!
Dude, wherever you are now, me salutes you.
Cheers!
