Prince of Gloom Survives

Well, how about that? I survived to see the Millennium out, lived to see so many smarter, cuter and richer people than myself turned into compost. And still, in a Graham Greene kinda way, I preserve some species of hope. I've been reading about Fermat recently, and about prime numbers.
And 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being' by Milan Kundera. Ian McEwan called it "a dark and brilliant achievement".
I feel as if, if I read it in fifty years' time, I still wouldn't understand it, but it would still lift my spirit, and make me seek to bury my ancestors where they could get some breathing space.
Anyway, if you need a quick laugh, try this: http://www.seeqpod.com/music/?plid=d60339e06e

And, Imshallah, I'll see you tomorrow . . .

Jeez, Dude, even the kindest person has got to slate you as pretty random! I just hope you can edit this into some kind of sense before the national news media catch on to it.
