"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."

How Many Roads Have I Wondered? By Sushila Raman (via Skymaker69) This song appears in the closing credits of the movie “The Namesake”. Had an extremely difficult time locating it.
Lyrics of the song:
How many roads have I wondered? None, and each my own Behind me the bridges have crumbled No question of return
Autumn leaves like discarded dreams trampled underneath a tide of careless feet it’s the same song playing everywhere I go it’s like an army marching right through me.
Nowhere to go but the horizon where, then, will I call my home?
Summer spent, in the high grass or just fragments, ransacked memories dark river snakes, across this murky hall boatman sings his downstream melodies.
How many roads have I wondered? None, and each my own Behind me the bridges have crumbled where, then, will I call my home?’
Description from Youtube
This video is about the sense of not belonging foreigners often have from leaving their birth country. Even when they traveled slowly and managed to establish relationships where they live, they always stand out as being different. And when they return to their home country, their new experience has made them different again from the natives. The minute you start living in another country, you will never belong to any place truly again. This can be emotionally draining.
The video tries to illustrate this. I’d like you to see it, in reverse order, the start is the end- the start is the total loss of identity, loss of body, just a final mark on the ground, and then you go back in time retracing the last 24hr, the day, staying and the last night before last.
The marking with the chalk is to mark where the bones are, it is meant to foresee the death that will come and take account of our physical entities. The “landscape art” with twigs is about leaving a unique mark,after death, something humans have always done, by contrasts with the rest of the animal kingdom.
Hell, it’s all pretty depressing, but everyone will ask himself or herself all these questions one day or another, well was was my turn. And now I can get on with other things… the next video, I’ll try to cheer you up.

Michael Jordan having “retired,” with $40 million in endorsements, makes $178,100 a day, working or not.
If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 every night while visions of sugarplums dance in his head.
If he goes to see a movie, it’ll cost him $7.00, but he’ll make $18,550 while he’s there.
If he decides to have a 5-minute egg, he’ll make $618 while boiling it.
He makes $7,415/hour more than minimum wage.
If he wanted to save up for a new Acura NSX ($90,000) it would take him a whole 12 hours.
If someone were to hand him his salary and endorsement money, they would have to do it at the rate of $200 every second.
He’ll probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbursed $33,390 for that round.
He’ll make about $19.60 while watching the 100-meter dash in the Olympics, and about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon.
This year, he’ll make more than twice as much as all U.S. past presidents for all of their terms combined.
Amazing isn’t it?
However…
If Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 500 years, he’ll still have less than Bill Gates has at this very moment.
Game over. Nerd wins.
