Easing Into Monday

Mondays usually inspire vitriolic rants from your Tiger pal about how we are nothing more than glorified corporate slaves.

After that I try to incite some kind of mass mutiny among the people who read this blog by suggesting they quit their meaningless jobs and go live on a tropical island, Survivor-style, where they can spear-fish and live in A-frame bamboo huts on the beach.

 

 

This Monday is different though. I want to share this cool video I found last night. Sure, it’s an advert for Canon, and yes, I feel a little dirty for regurgitating it shamelessly, but it happens to be a really cool video, so I don’t feel so bad doing it.

What you’re about to see is the result of someone covering a tiny speaker with a thin membrane and then dripping tiny drops of ink onto the membrane, playing music through the speakers and filming what happens next with super high speed cameras.

 

 

Watch that video with your headphones on at least five times to ease you into Monday and if you can’t watch videos, here are some stills to enjoy whilst listening to relaxing classical music (should have the same effect).

 

 

 

 

Happy Monday! Winking smile

And You Thought Your Monday Sucked…

You gotta love The Boomtown Rats, they were fucking cool man, I think about them on a weekly basis because like them, I too want to shoot this whole fucking day down.

And the funny thing is, no matter how carefully I plan my weekends (doesn’t happen often), no matter how much productive stuff I try to cram into them, they always end too fucking soon and BAM! I’m back here, ticking the days off until the next weekend lands.

It’s probably because in the five days you spend looking forward to your next weekend, you build that basterd up to be some kind of life-changing experience, some kind of epic event that’s somehow going to make the time you spent slaving away for it worthwhile.

Mondays are a necessary evil I guess, but the good news is no matter how bad your is, at least you don’t live in some dust bowl redneck town where people stone each other to death for not going to church.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-haw! Winking smile

 

 

Happy Monday everyone!
