A Lost Generation

A Lost Generation?

A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite. This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant. Make sure you read as well as listen forward and backward.This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled "u @ 50" by AARP. This video won second place. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause. So simple and yet so brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42E2fAWM6rA

Unrequitted Love

Thoughts can be controlled, actions can be controlled, but can the heart?

Shakespeare once said that the most painful thing in the world is unrequitted love. It' s a horrible pinning, longing for something/someone that doesn't have the same feeling back. It's like a thorn in the side, twisting the flesh till it not only bleeds, but slowly and painfully tortures the soul. It's a small pin in the chest that can hardly be seen, but unquestionably felt.
