http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nEM4VlnGNXU A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke. It gives me the chills every time I hear it. It is a song that intertwines hope and hopelessness so perfectly; when you couple it with the tragedy of his death immediately before the songs release, it really is just a crushingly emotional song.

The first time I heard that song was when I was driving in a car with my best friend after I had just found out my grandmother had dementia. The way he leads the listener to believe the song is about one thing when it is really about another...I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't heard it, but it is masterful lyricism.

Rapping. I love slam poetry and have been into hip hop for years but I just don't know where to begin with making music. I don't have a rhythmic bone in my body in terms of making beats, and I haven't found anyone to work with.

Writing. Ever since I was a kid I have been writing stories and plays. I finally completed my degree in English with an emphasis in creative writing last year and it was such a fulfilling experience in my life. I finally finished my first novella last year, it needs severe editing and expansion before I would even attempt publication, but knowing I can complete an extended work is an extremely gratifying feeling. I know it is hard to get a job with this degree, but I am just trying to subscribe to the Alan Watts school of thought, in that following your passions will lead to a more fulfilling existence.

Hopefully graphene will be able to help with that. It seems to be very promising for energy storage. Though it would possibly flood devices so there is that issue. Same deal, more research is necessary,

Between this and graphene it appears as though we are taking some significant leaps in sustainable battery storage. The question is, when will these technologies become the standard? What do you think it will take for us to truly push away from non-sustainable energy?
