The Internet will never run out of funny cats

In Limbo

Towers of rock, marble and steel

Do not contain what I feel

The fading of what is ourselves

Trapped on some forgotten shelves

We reach for what we cannot see

Forgetting what we are supposed to be

Blind to the lessons of the past

The die has been all but cast

We ignore what does not move

Saying that it does not prove,

That we are doomed and much worse broken

As if the words were never spoken

So we lie in limbo, doom awaiting

All the while still debating,

If the threat is phantom or not

The future then begins to rot

The men that profit in the now

Do not care where, what or how 

Left in hands of envy and greed

No wonder they look to us to bleed

Things have gotten closer to the sun

And I’ve done things in small doses

So don’t think that I’m pushing you away

When you’re the one that I’ve kept closest

Dear Britain,
Thank you for: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Zombies, The Hollies, The Yardbirds, and The Animals.
Oh and I guess, while I’m here, Tea, Dickens and Football (Soccer) aren’t too bad either, but mainly the music. 
Sincerely, Dan

‘If I Fell’ - The Beatles

Never gets old, pretty sure I’ll be listening to this the rest of my life.

Never gets old, pretty sure I’ll be listening to this the rest of my life.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul

Invictus by William Ernest Henley

‘Cat Groove’ - Parov Stelar

This is hands down the most awesome thing I’ve seen today. Electroswing + Basement dancing = Awesome

A little project I did for my Astrophysics class. It shows the temperature and size of the sun over it’s lifetime. 

The highest solar core temperature is around 300 million degrees.
