Still Alive - Jonathan Coulton:
----
This was a triumph
I'm making a note here:
"Huge success"
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science
we do what we must because we can
for the good of all of us except for the ones who are dead
but there's no sense crying over every mistake
you just keep on trying until you run out of cake
and the science gets done and you make a neat gun
for the people who are still alive
I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
even though you broke my heart and killed me
and torn into pieces
and threw every piece into a fire
as they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a wonderful line
and we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
so I'm glad I got burned
Think of all the things we learned for the people that are still alive
go ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay inside
maybe you'll find someone else to help you
maybe black mesa
that was a joke, haha, fat chance
anyway this cake is great, it's so delicious and moist
look at me still talking, when there's science to do
when I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
on the people who are still alive
and believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive
While you are dying I'll be still alive
and when you're dead I'll be still alive
Still alive, still alive

Thrasymachus once said,
"you would never find the just man getting the
better of the unjust, but he always gets the worst"
It doesn't work that way. The unjust man would lose
against the society of today, and be punished by it.
There my friends, is a good quality of our civilization.
There are two (or three) new gadgets that I want:
- Macbook Air. Yes it's true, I think I'm converting
to Mac. Shocking, and very, very embarrassing.
- Tenori-On, or alternatively BeatBearing. Imagine
how much fun one could have with one of those.
Too bad the Tenori-On is $1,200.
Just remember: Keep on trying
until you run out of cake :)
