This Guy Inspires Me

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
~ Martin Luther King Jr.



He made this video because he wanted more people to know that MLK has said many awe inspiring things apart from the "I have a Dream" speech, (which brilliant as it was, sometimes overshadows the many other incredible things that MLK said which are really worth knowing).

You should watch his other videos because Jay Smooth never ceases to amaze me with his incredible insight and humility.

This Is A Big Daddy Type Post

One more on the things I love, and if love is ever to be represented through singers, it would and could only be in these men below (discounting Freddie, ofcourse) :


Look at Sammy laugh, you just know what a riot it would be to just be in the audience, never mind knowing them personally.
Have you heard them do Impressions? Nobody can sing/act/dance/make you laugh like they could. They were who the word "Performer" was coined for.
All someone would have to do is Sing one of their melodies to me and I would be a goner.

But more importantly, it is easy to forget how these guys broke a few barriers for African-American singers, often times refusing to play in venues where segregation was encouraged. To be in 'showbiz' and to actually stand for something (not something your PR person tells you to stand for), well that just shows the quality of these men, despite any other flaws.

Them be some cool cats.

Taste of Human Bean Sir,

"Do you like vegetables?" Sophie asked, hoping to steer the conversation towards a slightly less dangerous kind of food.

"You is trying to change the subject," the Giant said sternly. "We is having an interesting babblement about the taste of the human bean. The human bean is not a vegetable."

My Favorite Book from my Favorite Author, oh Mr Dahl, I wonder what you would say about the state of literature today, what with twilights and vinci codes running around.

Every child should be given the opportunity to read the magic that is Mr Dahl.
