Current State of Me 1-26

Listen: Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold. This is a decent song overall, but the pre-chorus is fantastic. It's worth buying the song for the pre-chorus alone.

Watch: Top Gear Airing on BBC America and available on Comcast On Demand, this is the car show for everybody, even those who don't particularly take a special interest in cars (like me). It can get a bit geeky on the cars at times, like adoring details about how a certain part of the engine works, etc. Most of the time, however, it's downright goofy. It's a very funny show. There are the requisite car reviews, but what makes it interesting are the other segments, one of the best recurring ones is the races. Two of the best were London to Oslo and across Japan. In these, one of the hosts drives a car (a McLaren Mercedes and a Nissan GTR were featured in the aforementioned races, respectively) and the other two take several forms of public transportation, including planes, boats, and trains (including the bullet train in Japan). A throughly entertaining show.

Check out: Tim Ferriss' Blog The absolute epitome of "lifehacking," the way he breaks everything down is absolutely fascinating. The method generally boils down to a "ruthless elimination of non-essentials." Especially check out the posts on learning a language.
