I'm leaving on a jet plane....I don't know when I'll be back again....

The text in that sobering video is excepted from a speech made by Carl Sagan. Here is a larger excerpt: Reflections on a Mote of Dust -- Carl Sagan (1934-1996) We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam. The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. (Excerpted from a commencement address delivered May 11, 1996. Dr. Sagan's book Pale Blue Dot expands on these ideas.) (source: http://obs.nineplanets.org/psc/pbd.html)

White Rabbits - I Used To Complain Now I Don't

No trouble at all. I think we can hold out for a few more days.... ;) Good things come to those who wait, eh? :nice:

Cheers, Semy. Could you please email both HighRes images to coldplaying.for.charity[at]gmail.com? Thanks! :nice:

Uni will take some getting used to - especially if you're moving away from your family, friends and everything that is secure and comfortable. But embrace the change and you'll find that college life has lots to offer - new people, new perspectives, new experiences. What I found was that college really leveled the playing field - everyone comes starts off freshman year with a clean slate. For me, uni offered me a chance to really define the person I wanted to be. Best part is, not only interacting with such a diverse crowd of people, but also finding those few people who share the same career and life goals and dreams as you. It's exciting. I just graduated uni last week, and I'm already missing it. :( Enjoy your summer holidays! :D

2nd page? Umm, no. I don't think so.... REDFOX, calling REDFOX - come save this thread! We need you!! [Did you all get your top secret thingys in? :wink3:]

kashmir - lampshade

The aforementioned conversation took place earlier today. I only took my own sweet time to post on here. :P

Attention everyone! I have a message from our "Missing in Action" top Sigur Ros fan, Will. :toff: During a long chat filled mostly with gobeldygook, he asked me with drunken fervor to tell you all "hi," and that even though he has gone away, he still "loves us all" very much. hahah Oh, and we've been instructed to keep some blood pumping in the veins of this thread (awful analogy by me). :dance: Tis all. Btw, if you ever get a chance to talk to Drunksie Will sometime, you should. Boy's a riot! :laugh3:

You can check the status of the submission server here: http://www.last.fm/forum/21713/_/51596 I've got hundreds of tracks cached from just the past two days. :( I hope they get things sorted soon!

Oh wait, holdup...this dude is from Eugene (Oregon)?? How am I always last to learn of up and coming homegrown talent?? Will definitely check him out. heh. I love you. :P

Thanks Kekita! :nice: Woo for you for having finished your exams in one piece. :D So, I went ahead and PMed a few of you kiddies with deeetails. :sneaky: GO CHECK!

Aw, Will! Noooooooooooo. Why are you going? :(:( You'll be missed around here. This thread especially wont be the same without you.

:nice: Welcome to the forum! Have fun, and don't let the silliness of The Lounge scare you away ;) ;)

Thaaaaaaaaank you! :D haha, ok! I'll e-mail you. ;) [psst, log on msn sometime!]

I could just be having a deja vu moment, but didn't something almost exactly like this happen to you a year ago.......:rolleyes:

Oh, so sad. I too have completely neglected my favoritest thread on Coldplaying! :shame: BUT I'M BACK! I'm done with uni. I've graduated. And can now focus on the important things in my life.......:freak: Congrats to you Kathy for finishing too! :nice: Great feeling, eh? Anyway, in Mew-related news: there is this little project being organized by the fans for Mew (a gift from frengers around the world). I promised the organizer on Mewsite that I would splurge any details about it online. If you want to know what I'm going on about, PM me or talk to me on MSN, and I can tell you how you can contribute. Do so quickly though! The deadline is coming up SOON. Cryptic, huh? Bet you want to know more now. ;)

wow, this thread is old and dusty. lol @ Mari and Crystal - I have the same shoes as you two!! I guess Coldplayers all have similar taste in footwear....;) See....proof....
