    Two of my favorite songs EVER in English - I get knocked down (I don't know the title of it, though but a great song) and also Tom Petty, I Won't Back Down. I once hummed this song at the airport in Portland in 1994 while I was dealing with some of my family from Massachusetts - long story but my younger cousin 12 years older than me knew the song and understood the implications and has never forgiven me - good riddance and it's a great song!

    What drivel. I got a 60, and I know I'm much more privileged than that. This seems like a structured invitation to both whine and announce your triumph over adversity.

    Oh yes, it is all of that, hence the fun.

    Oblivious and bereft is no way to go through life. Maybe you need a guru.

    Oblivious? Is that a value judgment? Now I'm bereft and bemused.
