No Woman, No Cry
Anyone who has heard of Bob Marley knows the song No Woman, No Cry. It is so popular that it has been covered by artists over and over again. The song is about written about violence and abuse against women. The songs name No Woman, Nuh Cry in Jamaican patois, where the “nuh” means “don’t”, literally translates to No Woman, Don’t cry.
A more accurate rendering of the title in Jamaican patois would be “No, woman, nuh cry”. Nuh, which makes a shorter vowel sound for no, is the equivalent of the contraction don’t.[2]
The song was written by Bob Marley, but the copyright credits go to “V. Ford”, which is Vincent Ford, who ran a soup kitchen in Trenchtown where Marley grew up. These song credits kept this soup kitchen open to serve the poor and needy.
So many have covered it but I’ve chosen a few to include here. While you are listening to your favorite version of the song, remember the reason why it was written and how the power of music and love can overcome anything.

I love this clip from Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse, where a band member of Dethklok named William Murderface plays an arcade game called Wheelchair Bound. It was a DVD extra. Enjoy!

The Arrow and The Song
The Arrow and The Song
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

Big Buck Bunny
Another great video from Vimeo! Not only is the animation great, but the story is cute!
Big Buck Bunny tells the story of a giant rabbit with a heart bigger than himself. When one sunny day three rodents rudely harass him, something snaps… and the rabbit ain’t no bunny anymore! In the typical cartoon tradition he prepares the nasty rodents a comical revenge.

If you can, watch it in HD. It’s awesome!
Dark In Here
Funny joke sent to me by a friend! Thanks Theo!
A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work.
Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them, and hides in the bedroom closet to watch.
The woman’s husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already.
The little boy says, ‘Dark in here.’
The man says, ‘Yes, it is.’
Boy: ‘I have a baseball.’
Man: ‘That’s nice’
Boy: ‘Want to buy it?’
