Charlie Chaplin once said, “We think too much and feel too little”. Oddly enough, the best example of Chaplin’s philosophy has to be, not him, but Buster Keaton, the ‘Great Stone Face’. Emotion laid dormant within, face slack with seeming apathy. An unfeeling genius. Or, that was the thought of the masses. Opinions changed when Garry Moore, a television host for the...
You get on your bike and your bike feels fast with tires so full and you’re up the hill faster than ever before. Your Toshiba walkman is clipped to your shorts in back, and you’ve got your Smiths mix on. You’ve fast-forwarded to “Well I Wonder” and you swerve a little to prove to the song that you love it.
