I've decided to share my favorite videos/songs with you, so that you might take some enjoyment out of them as well. If I'm feeling down, they usually help to pick me up. Feel free to add your own!

Run up from the valley and use your eyes,
there is no length of time to surmise
how long ago was a year,
though the color of the leaves does not make it clear.

Fall through the fireworks and jump into sight,
spring through the woodwork and crouch under plight.
Weather the weather in its winter charm,
summer will arrive before long.

Why wait for a warm winter day
when you can just change the way
you look at the sky and see
the sun will always be warm.

Sit on your throne and enjoy the feeling
of relieving all burdens without kneeling
to another king on another throne,
because this moment is your own.

We see meaning in meaningless things. It's our way of justifying the world, or at least trying to make sense of what we see. After all, we know very little, so when the unexplained happens, we look to whatever makes the most sense to explain it.

But then, is anything ever meaningless? Can it ever be said that a face that appears on the moon has no meaning? Or is it part of our innate desire to believe in the unbelievable? That we are not alone in the universe, and perhaps there actually is someone looking back at us from the great unknown?

This post is short because all I've had is a random, meandering, meaningless thought. Or is it meaningful?

I dunno.

That's all for now,
