Coldplay's Violet Hill for a late night

Violet Hill Lyrics




Coldplay Lyrics
Viva La Vida Lyrics



Just great songs for a late night...enjoy

I don't agree with most of what this guy has to say, except for the last line.
It's hard to say what is the most human emotion... Fear or laziness.



What is it that keeps me awake tonight?
Am I afraid of tomorrow?
Am I afraid to dream?
Why do I chase the sandman counting sheep over fences?
Or maybe I'm just lazy
Writing blogs while I should be resting preparing for tomorrow

With insomnia you never sleep and you're never really awake...



There is a great movie/documentary/animation called Waking Life
A film about Lucid dreaming...
I wonder is reality one lucid dream



"When one realizes that one is a dream figure in another person's dream... that is self awareness."

I'll have some solipsism to go please...
for another late night

Do you ever get the feeling...


Do you live inside the egg or outside?
All of us at one point or another will be
inside and outside.
Makes you wonder if what you do to others,
You are actually doing to yourself.
Maybe a bit too deep a thought for another
Late night.

Today's ramblings are brought to you by Fractals...



Those amazing mathematical equations that have no end...
Care to dive into infinity with me tonight?


This particular fractal is called the Mandelbrot set...
A simple equation, an irrational number... infinite
Yet not eternal.
Infinity begins and has no end
Eternity has neither beginning or ending
The universe is not Eternal
The universe is not Infinite



This video, the famous "Powers of Ten", shows the reaches of our known universe.
Both in the macro and the micro.
Did you know that the Mandelbrot set is infinitely more complex
Then the known universe?



This image was taken deep within a gap of the set.
If you were to render the entire set at this magnification,
You would need a laptop screen 10x larger than the size of the known
universe.
Have I blown your mind tonight?
That's what you think about when you don't sleep.
Have fun in the infinity.

Oh another long night...
What is it about insomnia that makes me
stay up to all hours of the night thinking
about the day ahead?
What can possibly be gained by thinking so much?
I play through every detail of the coming day
Trying desperately to figure out what to do
when things inevitably go wrong!
Or maybe I just try to prioritize the "to-do" list
I'm not sure, but it keeps me from doing the one
thing that I go to bed to do..... SLEEP!



Perhaps I'm just a bit like Lev, forever bound to
contemplation and never execution.
All well, here's to the endless night!

Have you ever wondered what it is all about?
Why am I here, why do I work so hard?
What is it that I am trying to accomplish with all my efforts?
I often wonder if I'm a bit like this guy...
Watch this video till the end.


There is something beautiful about this poor flightless bird trying desperately hard to fly.
It has been working tirelessly to create a landscape for itself.
It has given its life for a moment of thrill and exhilaration.
I wonder if that is all that I am trying to do.
Just another thought on a sleepless night.
