(favorite show of the week) "I Survived" (S05E02)





This lady, Susan (the one you see in the thumbnail), is one of the most amazing, courageous individuals I've ever seen. She's talking about how she survived an assassination attempt. There are a few other individuals talking about their near death experiences on this show as well.

"Life is But a Shadow"





I excerpted this beautiful work of art from "Listen to Me" a 2015 documentary about actor Marlon Brando's autobiographical audio tapes which he released posthumously. This part of the film is Marlon Brando reading a quote from famous classical writer William Shakespeare's "MacBeth" where the character Macbeth says

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing." -- "Macbeth", a play Macbeth by William Shakespeare from the approx. year of 1600

(my music video) "Into Dust"



A collage of videos and sounds I put together in a meaningful, intentional, and unique way.

Music: Mazzy Star's "Into Dust" remix by John O'Callaghan + "Call Me Maybe" song slowed down 1,000 times
Lyrics: Mazzy Star's "Into Dust" remix by John O'Callaghan + Xandria's "Forevermore" (the last half)
Video clip source: I normally cite where they came from, and who made them, but I no longer have the info or remember.

Mazzy Star "Into Dust"

lyrics

Around, broken in two
Till your eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
Till my hand shook
With the way I fear

I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today

Around, broken in two
Till your eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
Till my hand shook
With the way I fear

I could feel my eyes turning into dust
Like two strangers turning into dust
I could feel my eyes turning into dust

I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under...
