The fastest boy alive

My brother's always buying hockey clothes for my sister's older kid.  Being an athlete himself, I think he'd like to see my nephew take up sports.  I got to thinking that I should get my say in from the comics side of things, so I bought this outfit for him:

"Time to get to work."

Hockey player or superhero?  I know what I'd choose, but hey, it's up to him.  I just want the kid to have options. 

I almost didn't buy this costume for him because I thought, "Well, Hallowe'en's so far off."  But then I remembered that when you're two, you can wear stuff like this anytime, anywhere and it's fine.  Nobody cares that a two year old is at the mall dressed like the Flash.  Just one more disadvantage of growing up, I guess. 

Let's start the year off right

I posted Matt Harding's last "Where the Hell is Matt" video once before, but in order to get the full effect of the actual content of today's post, I think you need to watch it again, so here:

The lyrics for the song in this video are from a poem by Rabindranath Tagore. This is "Stream of Life":

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

And here's a link to a more recent video in which Matt Harding explains how he is an actor and he faked the whole video (but not really).
