Lesson I learned from my father

Scene from the episode "Más" of season 3 of TV series Breaking Bad.

Walter White: I have made a series of very bad decisions, I cannot make another one.
Gus Fring: Why did you make these decisions?
Walter White: For the good of my family.
Gus Fring: Then they weren't bad decisions. What does a man do, Walter? A man provides for his family.
Walter White: This cost me my family!
Gus Fring: When you have children, you'll always have family. They'll always be your priority, your responsibility. And a man, a man provides. And he does it even when he's not appreciated, or respected or even loved. He simply bears up and he does it. Because he is a man.

Through heart

"Adieu, dit le renard. Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

And then...

I fell.

...almost after 48 hours, I just fell.

"I can feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the centre of the Earth again

I can feel it..."

Next thing I knew

I was back here...and you were there!

As if I was never there...just like a faint dream that one can barely remember...

All Those Yesterdays: A letter from Pearl Jam to me

Don't you think you oughtta rest?
Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down?
Don't you think you want to sleep?
Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down tonight?

Don't you think you've done enough?
Oh, don't you think you've got enough, well maybe...
You don't think there's time to stop
There's time enough for you to lay your head down, tonight, tonight

Let it wash away
All those yesterdays

What are you running from?
Taking pills to get along
Creating walls to call your own
So no one catches? Drifting off and
Doing all the things we all do

Let them wash away
All those yesterdays
All those yesterdays
All those paper plates

You've got time, you've got time to escape
There's still time, it's no crime to escape
It's no crime to escape, it's no crime to escape
There's still time, so escape
It's no crime, crime...

Bavarian cream pie

Scene from the episode "The Soup Nazi" of season 7 of TV series Seinfeld.

Jerry: It was stupid of me.
Sheila: Well, it was very insulting.
Jerry: No, I know. I...I was really sort of half-joking.
Sheila: Well, behind every joke there's some truth.
Jerry: What about that Bavarian cream pie joke I told you? There's no truth to that. Nobody with a terminal illness goes from United States to Europe for a piece of Bavarian cream pie and then when he gets there and they don't have it he says:" Aw, I'll just have some coffee." There's no truth to that.
Sheila: Will, I guess you're right.
Jerry: So, am I forgiven, shmoopy?
Sheila: Yes, shmoopy.
Jerry: Aaaaw!
