I got to go to my cousin's college graduation today. It got me thinking about college, and I must say I can't wait. It's gonna be a blast.

If you haven't ever heard of DaxFlame, you are really missing out. Dax makes a regular video blog of his life on youtube. He is the weirdest kid that I have ever seen. Words can not convey how weird he is. There is no way that one human being can be so weird, it has to be fake. Nonetheless, his videos are hilarious. It is definatley worth it to watch his videos from the beginning. Link to his profile. His first video is below.

Apparently there are some people out there willing to fork over $6.28 for nothing. From the product page.

What better present for the person who has everything than a poignant reminder that they want for nothing? This lovingly crafted vial of emptiness is filled to the brim with unfettered nothingness. Free from the burden of possessions, the weight of responsibility, Nothing is as idiotic as it is brilliant.

Indeed even old Macbeth, though mad as a kipper, realised that life, whilst full of sound and fury (and that was before iPods) is inherently daft and ultimately signifies Nothing. And let us not forget, that 'Nothing' is so important that most of our universe - and the contents of a lot of people's heads - appears to be made up of it.

It's a statement, an empty gesture if you will, a nod at the futility of ownership, and yet despite 'Nothing' being nothing, it is of course packed with millions of protons, neutrons and what have you, which is pretty good for Nothing.

Yeah. Right.

Tolerance. Sometimes I wish a lot more people had some.
