Day Thirty Six - Still Alive.

As the title suggests, I'm still alive. I just haven't had much internet access lately. I definitely have stories to tell and experiences to share but for now I'm going to explore Basel. It's my first day in Switzerland and I wish not to spend it on my netbook. I'll update again later tonight probably.

I want to leave you with this amazing song. Anyone who plays Rock Band or Portal will know what I'm about to show you. For the rest, sit back and be amazed. Lyrics are under the video if you wish to sing along, as you definitely should!



This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
still alive.


I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think i prefer to stay inside.
maybe you'll find someone else
to help you.
maybe Black Mesa...
THAT WAS A JOKE, HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist
look at me still talking when theres science to do
when i look out there
it makes me glad I'm not you
i've experiments to run
there is research to be done
on the people who are
still alive.


and believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
i feel fantastic and I'm still alive
while your dying ill be still alive
and when your dead i will be still alive
still alive
still alive

  2. The first time I heard this song was when I had been up for 30 hours and someone in a classroom I was working it played it over and over and over....I literally was on the brink of insanity. This song makes my ears bleed.
