༺Exerpts༻

• On dark gloomy days, I found my sunshine in city lights drenched in soft raindrops. Perhaps it was the serenity each raindrop held that made me feel this way. And perhaps for a moment, i felt more warmth in the flickering streetlights and headlights than I did with the sun. So on dark gloomy days, I just wanted to hide in the darkness and appreciate the little lit lantern resting right beside my feet.

• The Zen of Python
  @Tim_Peters/.verse
  

  Beautiful is better than ugly.
  Explicit is better than implicit.
  Simple is better than complex.
  Complex is better than complicated.
  Flat is better than nested.
  Sparse is better than dense.
  Readability counts.
  Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
  Although practicality beats purity.
  Errors should never pass silently.
  Unless explicitly silenced.
  In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
  There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
  Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
  Now is better than never.
  Although never is often better than *right* now.
  If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
  If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
  Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
  

• Comfortably Numb (Ending)
  @RogerWaters/.verse | @DavidGilmour/.verse
  (Pink Floyd)
  

  When I was a child, I got a fleeting glimpse
  Out of the corner of my eye
  I turned to look but it was gone
  And I cannot put my finger on it now
  The child is gone, the dream is gone!
  And I have become comfortably numb.

  You crave the applause, yet hate the attention, then miss it - your act is a ruse!
