Mad World...sad.

For Guitar and my voice. Capo on third fret, slow.

Verse 1 ( Em .. G  |  D .. A ):
All around me are familiar faces.
  Worn out places.  Worn out faces.
Bright and early for their daily races.
  Going nowhere.  Going nowhere.
And their tears are filling up their glasses.
  No expression.  No expression.
Hide my head; I want to drown my sorrow.
  No tomorrow.  No tomorrow.

Chorus ( Em .. A ):
And I find it kinda funny.
  but I find it kinda sad.
The dreams in which I'm dying
  Are the best I've ever had.
I find it hard to tell you
  Cuz I find it hard to take.
When people run in circles it's a very, very

(Em .. G .. A)
   Mad world.
   Mad world.
   Mad world.
   Mad world.

Verse 2 ( Em .. G  |  D .. A ):
Children waiting for the day they feel good.
  How I love you.  So proud of you.
Made to feel the way that every child should.
  Sit and listen.  Sit and listen.
Went to school and I was very nervous.
  No one knew me.  No one knew me.
Hello, teacher tell me what's my lesson?
  Looked right through me.  Looked right through me.


Chorus ( Em .. A ):
And I find it kinda funny.
  I find it kinda sad.
The dreams in which I'm dying
  Are the best I've ever had.
I find it hard to tell you
  Cuz I find it hard to take.
When people run in circles it's a very, very



(Em .. G .. A)
   Mad world.
   Mad world.
   Mad world.
   Mad world.
  Enlarge your world

The Secret to Increased Productivity – Single Tasking

There is a myth of multitasking, which many have bought into, but which reduces their effectiveness and productivity. I still remember when I was struggling with this in my job and an article in   Time magazine  from 2006 struck a cord with me as I read it: There’s substantial literature on how the brain handles multitasking. And basically, it doesn’t. The Time magazine article focuses on what a 2005 Kaiser Family Foundation study dubbed "Generation M," a group of young people (ages 8 to 18) who were increasingly engaging in "media multitasking." The article found that while the total time spent with electronic media hadn't increased significantly, the amount of media consumed within that time had, thanks to activities like instant messaging while watching TV or doing homework. The key scientific finding highlighted in the article is that the human brain does not truly multitask. Instead, it performs a rapid toggling between tasks . When an individual attempts ...

FP Explainer: Who Are the Knights of Malta -- and What Do They Want? - By Joshua E. Keating | Foreign Policy

FP Explainer: Who Are the Knights of Malta -- and What Do They Want? - By Joshua E. Keating | Foreign Policy : "Despite having no fixed territory besides its headquarters building in Rome, the order is considered a sovereign entity under international law. It prints its own postage stamps and coins -- though these are mostly for novelty value -- and enjoys observer status at the United Nations, which classifies it as a nonstate entity like the Red Cross. The Knights maintain diplomatic relations with 104 countries. The order does not have official relations with the United States, though it has offices in New York, for the United Nations delegation, and Washington, for its representation at the Inter-American Development Bank."

Love like it's the only thing that can save you

There is this something about love, about friendship - this something which I've identified as vulnerability. When we are insecure (or/if because) we've been hurt before by friends, family, lovers...there is a tendency to hide ourselves. We hide who we are so that we don't get hurt...because when we are rejected for living as we know, it is easier to hide so that the rebukes stop. I've experienced this and it hurts now to talk about it. I've felt my trust and confidence betrayed. Sometimes the worst betrayal, is when the deceiver is in my past. Or in my heart, still there. Deceiving with fantasy. Then, if that fantasy is projected onto a real person and they reject you...or reject who you pretend to be, in your fantasy, the pain doubles. To have true relationships we must feel comfortable with who we are, at least comfortable enough to show who we really are - to be vulnerable to criticism, to rejection. Otherwise we always feel like they don't know us,...
