3 Things Why I'm Thankful of the Internet

Internet is indeed a world-flattener.

For ordinary folks like me, the net has made previously hard-to-find information within a few clicks on the keyboard.

I recall way back in college how I got resigned to the idea that the quotes and clips I've been dying to find won't ever be retrieved.

Well fortunately I live in a time when information became impressively available to everyone.

As a tribute to the good ol' net here are 3 items I finally unearthed.

1.  The rap portion of Superproxy

As a big fan of the Eheads I always croak their songs whenever an opportunity comes. I always get stumped when I get to the rap portion of Superproxy. It was tough to follow the barrage of words.
Well thanks to google that info is now available..

Zipadee do dah Zippa dee day.. Hip Hop Hooray !

2. The passionate speech by Col. Nathan Jessep in A Few Good Men

A movie that talks about honor. I was blown away by the empathic speech of Col. Jessep played by Jack Nicholson in the court room. Definitely unforgettable

"Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men..."

3. That heart-breaking scene in "When Time Ran Out"

This clip from a movie I first saw when I was 5 years old had such a huge impact on me. The scene where the blond girl fell to her fiery death in the flowing lava haunted me in my dreams and probably caused my fascination for mestizas. It seemed that ever since, I always had this yearning to save mestizas.

Thanks to Youtube I had the chance once again to face the monster of my childhood.
