So starting us off on a moderately depressing note. Have you ever read Nietsche? One of his central tenets, contributing to that loveliest movement, nihilism, was that life is inherently pain, if for no other reason than because we must all realize that we will die and that's the end. Sunshine and Lollypops that guy... He continues on to his secret, we all constantly lie to ourselves that tomorrow will be better, that the things we do matter, that there's a life after death (in memories if not the incorporeal afterlife of several somewhat prominent religions).
But you know what, screw that guy. Because this week's big idea is that there are lots of things that matter on a personal level even if not on a cosmic one (though who knows with butterfly wings and all that... sorry Iceland...). And one of the best of those is having good news to look forward to. Could be big or small, but really just the knowledge that absolutely something good is just around the corner really makes food taste better, the sunshine seem brighter, and music oh so soulcrushingly delicious. And on that note... April Smith is coming to Schubas!
