Loveless, givin up a dime, nothin' less. Now I must put his behind to the test

The quote of the week this week is by Samuel Clemens. Better known as Mark Twain, this writer was the king of cynicism and the turning of a phrase. However, this quote is rather straightforward and one of his more positive ones about leadership:

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

The link of the week this week is a list of "Deeper Thoughts" not by Jack Handey. These are written by children age 4-15 emulating the genius Mr. Handey. They are amazing.

The game of the week is "Throw Me" ... Toss the little guy and try to see how far you can make him go. My personal best so far is 91,855

The picture of the week this week is by Kevin Carter. He took this photo in 1994 and won the Pulitzer Prize. The child is a Sudanese refugee who was being stalked by a vulture as he starved. No one knows what happened to the child for certain, but Carter committed suicide three months later. The photo helped spread knowledge about the starvation in Africa.


Now that that cheered everyone up...

The video of the week this week is actually going to be two. One is Will Smith singing on a German (I think) show with a ukulele. He forgets the words to "Men In Black" and the host makes fun of him for always going "uh ha ha yeah yeah" in every song and Will doesn't realize it ... in honor of the man whose song that is giving us all the titles this week:


This video though is amazing ... it is a freestyle rap translated into proper English ... I love love love this:
