Game of Thrones' George R. R. Martin Reacts to Fans viewing The Red Wedding

So as you know, earlier in the week I posted a recap of Sundays night's episode of Game of Thrones.  A couple of days later a video of fans reacting to this episode surfaced online; I didn't blog about it.  

But...

Conan O'Brien had the infamous author, George R. R. Martin as a guest on his show and showed him the video.  Check it out.

This Is Water by David Foster Wallace

This video is 9 minutes long, but truly inspirational. If you have some time, I highly recommend watching it.  Bookmark it for another day, share it on Facebook, Pin it, Skype it, do whatever you wish with it, but make sure to watch it sometime in your life.  It doesn't matter if you're in college, high school or an alumni - this video is for everyone.

Author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn't become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we've ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.

Quoted: C.S. Lewis on Love

"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." 

- C.S. Lewis (English essayist & juvenile novelist)
