filling the void

after our conversation from last night on expressing our frustrations about the world i leave you with some common words of wisdom on an engraved penny handed down to me from my late american grandfather.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.


Reading this seems to help me face the world with new light whenever i'm down. And so does this song:





Oh yeah... so I've never been much of a fan of Charlotte Gainsbourg's music, but I am a devoted Beck fan and since she's collaborated with him on her latest album she gets a few extra points on my scale giving her a B on a scale from 75 to 151(75 being Nutella, 151 being Tropical Rainforest). She gets 10 more points for wearing a sexy tennis skirt in the video, but she loses 5 for holding a baby, but then gets 5 more for having possibly the most random video ever. it's worth watching atleast 2 times to catch all the bizarre stuff happening in the background. total score = quagmire yahtzee 7.5 orange.

this one's for you Joan.
