Boredom

When hit by boredom, let yourself be crushed by it; submerge, hit bottom. In general, with things unpleasant, the rule is: The sooner you hit bottom, the faster you surface. The idea here is to exact a full look at the worst. The reason boredom deserves such scrutiny is that it represents pure, undiluted time in all its repetitive, redundant, monotonous splendor.

Boredom is your window on the properties of time that one tends to ignore to the likely peril of one's mental equilibrium. It is your window on time's infinity. Once this window opens, don't try to shut it; on the contrary, throw it wide open.
-Joseph Brodsky

Pearl Jam - Sitting on the Dock of the Bay (live 94)

It's time for some Pearl Jam. I'm going back 15 years for this one. I always included this bootleg version on my Pearl Jam "tape" compilations :).
Sound quality is good. So enjoy!

Justice In Iran?


Ameneh Bahrami poses on March 5, 2009 in Barcelona. Bahrami, of Iran, was blinded by a man who threw acid in her face. In 2008 an Iranian court ruled that the man -- identified only as Majid -- a spurned suitor who poured a bucket of sulfuric acid over her head, leaving her blind and disfigured, should also be blinded with acid, based on the Islamic law system of 'qisas', or eye for an eye retribution. Ms Bahrami has said that she is now waiting for a letter from the court to go back to Iran for the punishment to be carried out. By Lluis Gene/AFP/Getty Images.

John Lennon - Real Love (Guitar Version)

Here's John Lennon recording a demo of REAL LOVE (1977 or 1978) that will later be rerecorded with the other three Beatles (1995). But this version is as good as any other Beatles song. Enjoy.
