Anything But Something That Matters (Essay)
No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. John Donne, No Man is an Island, Meditation XVII The world of human beings is an incredibly
Hearts Throbbin' Like an 808
Oooooh baby; Hearts throbbin' like an 808. Oooooh lady; Sounds offbeat 'cause they syncopate. Kick and snare will set the tone; Symbols drive the rhythm home.
