Fade To Black
Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can’t be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he’s gone
No one but me can save myself, but it’s too late
Now I can’t think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

Coca Cola India demand "unconditional apology" from photographer
Despite severe water shortages in India, Coke continues to soak up 500,000 liters a day there to make its sugary beverage. Adland notes notes that it takes roughly seven times as much water to create one bottle of Coke.
As ironic commentary, Indian photographer Sharad Haksar created a billboard from a photo of water jugs lined up at a pump in front of a Coca-Cola billboard. Coke hated it so much that have demanded an apology and have threatened to sue him for 2 million rupees ($46,000) for defamation. Haskar told Coke, in essence, to fuck off.

If you could do one thing to change...
On January 2005, Parade Magazine ran an article by Norman Mailer in which he answered the question: if you could do one thing to change America for the better, what would it be? His answer: ban television commericials because the constant interruptions by TV ads were interfereing with our children's ability to concentrate and thus to read and succeed in school and in the world.
Jason Kottke asked the same question in his weblog; and there are lots of answers to be read... If you have time; go read ;)
Age Maps

The guy is called Bobby Neel Adams. He is a photographer that creates age maps. Check them out... At the very beginning they seem scary but in fact they're cool.

40 Things That Only Happen In Movies
11. Any police officer about to retire from the force will more often than not die on their last day (especially if their family have planned a party). (Caveat: Detectives can only solve a case after they have been suspended from duty).
17. If you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts, your opponents will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around you in a threatening manner until you have defeated their predecessor.
26. Prostitutes always look like Julia Roberts or Jamie Lee Curtis. They have expensive clothes and nice apartments but no pimps. They are friendly with the shopkeepers in their neighbourhood who don't mind at all what the girl does for a living.
27. A single match is usually sufficient to light up a room the size of a football stadium.
29. One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all than 20 men firing at once (it's called Stallone's Law).

Anicca
Definition: Impermanence. Central to Buddhist teaching is the idea that all things are impermanent. This is the nature of all conditioned phenomena. Nothing lasts, nothing stays the same. Thus, to cling to anything will inevitably lead to suffering (dukkha).
