Show 32 -LIFE
A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
Charles Darwin
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
Mark Twain
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.
Robert Frost
Life is wasted on the living.
Douglas Adams
Look,
I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive
you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot,
for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very
least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.
Mel Brooks
When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
Mark Twain

Atheism is essentially a theory which means that one has no belief, and
rather, people who are atheist actually value the theories surrounding
evolution and science. Adelaide Dalton is an advocate of atheism and its

belief in a higher being. Studio MQ’s Grace Dalton, sat down with her
sister to find some understanding in some of the roots and conclusions
of an atheistic perspective..

- Russell Crowe - TOFOG, now known as The Ordinary Fear of God, described by allmusic.com as as “straightforward, guitar-driven, mid-tempo rock with a touch of country that sounds a lot like watered-down Bon Jovi or the semi-successful comeback album of any number of '80s bands.”
- Shaq (HE DID SUCCEED)
Actors who have succeeded
- Jenny Lewis - supporting roles in Pleastantville, The Wizard, Baywatch, Golden Girls and even Roseanne! She turned to music as singer of Rilo Kiley, and then went solo with wonderful songs such as this one.. and we just love her.

GLENN BENNIE INTERVIEW
Glenn Bennie can arguably claim one of Australia's underrated musicans. Initially, a driving force behind Underground Lovers, one of Australia's most innovative bands of the '90s. The band had noteriety for their powerful shows and new angular melodies incorporating synths, something which was somewhat frowned upon with the hip crowd they were playing too.
Glenn has kept himself busy with many projects ever since the break up of the Underground Lovers. As of 2003 Glenn Bennie has had an ongoing solo project named GB3 where he has collaborated with various people of the Australian music community including Steve Kilbey, Angie Hart and Sarah Blasko. The latest GB3 record, called Damaged/Controlled was released just recently.
