I've seen quite a few inspiring youtube videos, but I think these 2 takes the cake!

haha. his tapping at (end - 15secs) is hilarious.

is it just me or does someone else find this hilarious (in a sad way of course ;p)?

"The tests have shown that the new air-delivered ordnance is comparable to a nuclear weapon in its efficiency and capability," said Col.-Gen. Alexander Rukshin, a deputy chief of the Russian military's General Staff, said in televised remarks.

Unlike a nuclear weapon, the bomb doesn't hurt the environment, he added.

so basically he said:

"we can reduce your cities to rubble, but it is internationally politically correct! because we do it the green way! gogo captain planet!"

the problem with not posting for a long time is, when you finally do break the silence, it is expected to be something pretty significant or profound.

pffttt! that's sillyness.

so here's my tribute post, to ... nothingness.

Looking at the numbers, I'm guessing this video is already pretty viral, but it's worth breaking my xanga silence for:

hah. ok. let's try this ghetto work-around the lack of an ftp server

*haha woot works! windows_movie_maker(sound_recorder + paintbrush(screenshot(notepad)) only ghetto windows apps!

Anyway, the irony is that I intially wanted to take a shot at writing an emo-wannabe whiny minor-key song about how aimless post-college life is, but it ended up a praise of His mercy, love and faithfulness. God's amusing. But I'm glad I'll have it around to sing when I'm feeling whiny in the future.

The lyrics below for those who want to read them and not go blind. Again, excuse the rawness of it all (it sounds better if you keep the volume low! in fact, as volume ==> 0, utility ==> inf )

Sitting silent in isolation
Contemplations of aspirations.
Have I lost what I’ve been looking for?

Entertainments of self-delusions
Liberations by cynicism
Have I wandered off this path too far?

But in the dark, I hear you calling out to me
Drawing me close within your arms
And in the light, I will be dancing in your courts
And I’ll sing of your great mercy and your love

Repetitions of self-indulgence
Consequences. Condemnation.
Can I squander off this boundless grace?

Resignations to indiscretions
Comprehension of apprehensions
Can someone tell me when this struggle ends?

But in the dark, I hear you calling out to me
Drawing me close within your arms
And in the light, I will be dancing in your courts
And I’ll sing of your great mercy and your love

And in the night, He’s been there always holding on to me
Guiding me on with His love,
Oh cometh the day! When I am fully dressed in righteousness
Forever singing His mercy and His love!

Psalm 138:8 (New International Version)
 8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
       your love, O LORD, endures forever—
       do not abandon the works of your hands.
