Virtuosity

Ok, I know that posting links is an "easy" way to beef up your post count, but this was just too amazing for me not to post. Just...wow.

A Moment of Classics

This is a song that I heard and liked today, so I thought I would share it with you. Yes, you. Right there. What, do you see anyone else around? I didn't think so. 

Enjoy.

Thoughts On The Way To Class

It was cold. A bone-chilling, breath-taking cold. The kind of cold that slowed the blood and slowed the mind until a man's only thought was that of getting warm again. But he walked on. He had been walking for a long time now; so long that it was a wonder he was still going. He felt like his legs should be hurting by now, but in such bitter cold he had ceased feeling anything in his legs long ago. Now they only moved as if by habit, like a pendulum set in motion and forgotten. Onward. One step more into deep, unfriendly snow. And another step. It was an unconcious action, one which was only given any thought when a particularly fierce gust of wind upset its rhythm. That was the worst part: the wind. You've heard of wind like knives? This was wind like axes. Spears. Large, two-handed broadswords with jagged edges swung by demons' arms. I suppose you've heard of howling wind as well. This wind did not howl. It was the raging battle cry from the throats of an army. It came charging down from the mountains like death on his pale horse.
Then there was the snow. Ah, the snow. A snow that grabbed at legs and limbs and would not let go without a fight. Each step struggle worth three.
Why would a man brave such cold and wind and snow?
He did not know. He had forgotten. 
He only knew that he must keep moving forward.




So call me dramatic.
