The Old People brought down Tribulation, and were broken into fragments by it. Your father and his kind are a part of those fragments. They have become history without being aware of it. They are determined still that there is a final form to defend: soon they will attain the stability they strive for, in the only form it is granted - a place among the fossils.

The Chrysalids by John Wyndham. Probably one of my favourite lines ever written.

TRUTH

And finally another one of my favourites - Better man.  Probably a once in a life time performance of the song as Eddie gets choked up and homesick mid way through (I’ve already posted that part)

[rynetrjo]

One of my Pearl Jam favourites - Nothingman.

Continued Pearl Jam takeover - Just Breathe.

The first of a bunch of Pearl Jam video’s I’ll queue and post here - An awesome performance of Last Kiss!

The heart is greater than the universe, for it can find pity in it for everything in the universe, and the universe itself can feel no pity. The heart is greater than a king, because a heart can know a king for what he is, and still love him. And once you give your heart, you cannot take it back.

I've got a lot of videos from the Pearl Jam concert tonight coming but I wanted to get this one up quick so people could see it. During my second favourite song of the night (Better man) Eddie Vedder for choked up and a little home sick. He broke off in to a refrain about tolerance and said some nice things about Toronto. It was an insane moment and I'm glad I was there.

Glen Hansard is coming to Toronto in the fall. If you have emotions you should probably go see him.

[rynetrjo]

It was too wearing, the slow disappearance of the things I had thought so safely mine, item by item, thing by thing, object by object, word by word.

Capturing the Light in the Darkness with Matthew Newman

To see more of Matthew’s photography, follow @matthewnewman photography on Instagram.

Finding the best views of space from Earth requires Matthew Newman (@matthewnewmanphotography) to brave the darkness. “Most people find it kind of scary … You’re out in the wild by yourself most of the time,” the professional window-tinter and night photographer from Medford, Oregon, says. “Many people don’t have the opportunity to experience the night sky the way that I’m able to,” Matthews says; due to light pollution, most of the world’s population can no longer see the Milky Way with the naked eye: “I try to capture it as best as possible, as natural as possible. Hopefully, it will inspire people, more than anything, to drive away from the city and actually go see it for themselves.”

I Gave You Lemons (Jay Z's Response To 'Lemonade') from Funny Or Die

This is killing me right now.  It’s all over the place, but in the most hilarious, stand up/free style kind of way.  When he starts reading Shakespeare at like the 40 minute mark (after flashing up a title screen that says “Damn, how did you make an hour long video, this shit is exhausting”) I nearly died.

Dying on the hill of Wonderwall atm. Recording myself to catch my errors. Here watch me struggle.

So we let the silence speak for us, we stood there in the wind. So I could read her like the blind read brail, the goosebumps on her skin Like a fever breaking all around her white dress in the rain It was the first day of forever and I never was the same
