ONEREPUBLIC - GOOD LIFE LYRICS Good Life lyrics by Onerepublic. Woke up in London yesterday Found myself in the city near Piccadilly Don't really know how I got here I got some pictures on my phone New names and numbers that I don't know Address to places like Abbey Road Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want We're young enough to say [Chorus] Oh this has gotta be a good life This has gotta be a good life This could really be a good life, good life Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight Like this city is on fire 'night This could really be a good life A good, good life [Verse 2] To my friends in New York, I say hello My friends in L.A. they don't know Where I've been for the past few years or so Paris to China to Col-or-ado Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e What there is to complain about [Bridge 1] When you're happy like a fool Let it take you over When everything is out You gotta take it in
The Nervous Breakdown I’m wondering if writers in my Generation X age group who contribute their talents to various sites and newspapers, and yet don’t feel like they’re a part of a literary movement, might feel a kinship to this particular piece that I have never shared publicly until now. The Dead Generation is an excerpt from Chapter Nine of ‘Citrus Girl’ (about a third of that chapter). It was written sometime between 1996 and 1998. Could all be drivel. It’s 1996 and I’m thinking about Malcolm Cowley, one of the ‘lost’. And now today’s dead generation—lost, but never forever lost and never completely forgotten—where are their slacker rebel origins? In Generation X literature? It could be any city… And Cowley, he wrote that maybe the young writers of his age weren’t young or foolish enough. In the first half of the 1990s, Steve was in a constant state of: “I’ve gotta divorce my crack-smoking wife.” He finished divorcing his wife a year after he met a girl I like to think of as Cholera at a downtown bar.
Examples of online communities in the TV industry | FreshNetwork We return this week to our series of Online Community Examples. There is a lot of talk about the way ‘old’ and ‘new’ media combine – how newspapers are using Twitter and how television broadcasters and production companies are working with online media. So this week we take a look specifically at examples of online communities in the TV industry Online communities in the TV industry The TV industry has a relatively long history of online communities – both fan sites and sites sponsored by the brand itself. Rate My Space HGTV in the US set up their Rate My Space online community to accompany their broadcast schedule which, as their full name suggests is Home and Garden Television. As we’ve discussed before, simple concepts can often be the best ones in online communities, and so it proved in this case. A further sign of the success of Rate My Space as an online community site is that it has now spun off a TV programme of it’s own. Heroes The Sex Education Show
What is The Good Life Anyway? Everybody wants that thing called “a good life.” Well here’s my question, what does that even mean? Exactly what is it that moves a life from “an average life” to “the good life”? For that matter, who gets to decide what constitutes a good life? If you asked a hundred people those questions, chances are you would get a hundred different answers. But even in the variety of answers, you would find several common areas that are important to almost everybody. Do you feel like you are already living the good life? If the answer is no, then what would it take for you to feel that you were? You are the one whose definition of a good life really matters. Don’t let them do your thinking for you! Advertisers work very hard to convince you that your life just won’t be complete without their product. The truth is that more stuff can actually diminish the quality of our life. Some people are convinced that money is the big difference between an average life and the good life. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
10 Photos Capturing Moments of Spontaneous Badassery It's easy to look badass with careful planning: Whether it's entering a prize fight, acting in intense action scenes with the benefit of careful choreography or just waiting for the crowd to gather before you jump your dirt bike over 16 flaming tigers, the common thread is always planning and forethought. It's a lot harder to come off as a total badass in the heat of the moment, with no warning, no setup and no pretense. Hard, but not impossible: Mildly Amused Riot Guy Clearly, there is some serious shit going down in the foreground of this photo: an altercation, an argument, a dramatic scene or a hurried arrest. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on, but two things are certain: It happened suddenly and it is violently intense.

TED talk on happiness Pattern Recognition (novel) Pattern Recognition is a novel by science fiction writer William Gibson published in 2003. Set in August and September 2002, the story follows Cayce Pollard, a 32-year-old marketing consultant who has a psychological sensitivity to corporate symbols. The action takes place in London, Tokyo, and Moscow as Cayce judges the effectiveness of a proposed corporate symbol and is hired to seek the creators of film clips anonymously posted to the internet. The novel's central theme involves the examination of the human desire to detect patterns or meaning and the risks of finding patterns in meaningless data. Gibson traveled to Tokyo in 2001 to prepare for this new novel, which takes place in London, Moscow, and Tokyo.[3] He did not travel to London or Moscow but used interviews with friends and internet resources for research.[4] In September 2001 Gibson had written about 100 pages but was struggling to finish. Cayce flies to Moscow to meet Stella in person and watch Nora work.

This article examines the results of the Grant study, and discusses some of it's merits and shortcomings. A common critique of longitudinal studies is that they are too time consuming and results take a long time, which is why the Grant Study is so ground-breaking. Interestingly, many of the participents lead happy and successful lives, although many suffered from what director GEorge Valliant described as mental illness. Some of the most interesting distinctions I found were that exersice as a young adult effects later mental health more than physical health, and alchoholism is a precursor for other issues in one's life, not a coping mechanism. Also, Valliant found that relationships were easily the most important factor in one's overall happiness. by brittanyacooper Feb 25
