Broken Glass Makes Me Laugh

This may seem cruel, mocking and unpleasant to you. And I do not disagree that it has its vile and childish side. But comedy has no friends, mad people are funny, and it's not news that I'm an arsehole sometimes.

Let's start the year off right

I posted Matt Harding's last "Where the Hell is Matt" video once before, but in order to get the full effect of the actual content of today's post, I think you need to watch it again, so here:

The lyrics for the song in this video are from a poem by Rabindranath Tagore. This is "Stream of Life":

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

And here's a link to a more recent video in which Matt Harding explains how he is an actor and he faked the whole video (but not really).
