"At any given moment, you do not exist. Your body exists, temporary though it may be. Still, you are not your body. You are merely an electrochemical process of your body. The continuity of your separate self is manufactured every few milliseconds by a hunk of warm grey meat between your ears. In the time it takes you to read this sentence, your brain has created you a thousand times, and it has left behind a thousand ghosts of you."
- Somewhere from the infinitely indie bowels of tumblr
... And the thousands of ghosts coalesce to create the supposed essence of you, an impalpable existence that is ever-changing as ghosts are forgotten at the same time more are being created. Therefore there is no real you; the self so defined by memories cannot remain the same as every moment imprints itself -
HAHAHA CAN'T DO THIS SHIT ANYMORE

The Amazing Spiderman
Found this gif on tumblr and NO MATTER WHAT SONG IT IS SPIDERMAN DANCES TO THE BEAT:
CLASSIC ROCK, HEAVY METAL, INDIE, MANDOPOP, BAROQUE, SLOW SONGS, FAST SONGS, SONGS WHICH ARE NEITHER FAST OR SLOW ETC ETC
These 3 songs are particularly entertaining:
Last one omg
♩♬ ♬♩♬
And here I am playing the same song everyday. Just the other day I got so ashamed I closed my windows before playing so I would spare my neighbors (and my ego of their imagined bashings).

Slaughterhouse-Five
"Welcome aboard, Mr Pilgrim," said the loudspeaker. "Any questions?"
Billy licked his lips, thought for a while, inquired at last: "Why me?"
"That is a very Earthling question to ask, Mr Pilgrim. Why you? Why us for that matter? Why anything? Because this moment simply is. Have you even seen bugs trapped in amber?"
"Yes." Billy, in fact, had a paperweight in his office which was a blob of polished amber with three ladybugs embedded in it.
"Well, here we are, Mr Pilgrim, trapped in the amber of this moment. There is no why."
- Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut
Oh. There is no why.
I believe Mr Pike has competition, time to re-read The Starlight Crystal.

Update (you don't say)
Kim's party!
Yay happy birthday Kim (even though you don't read my blog) |
"What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"
"You ask a glass of water."

The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the "Star-Spangled Banner", but in fact the message was this: So long, and thanks for all the fish."
