Ah, what a great way to start the New Year: with a raise!
This got started in the comments section of another post, but it seems to me more than deserving of its own post; it is far more important than Saddam Hussein’s last words. I started to watch the Daniel Pearl video, then I stopped it and did not go on. But I have read all kinds of banned documents, including the manual of Afghani Jihad, and I think I would watch the Steve Irwin video if his family would allow it to be released, so why I draw the line here but not there, I am not really sure I know.
All life takes place in the pure moment. The past is a story, the future a guess. Reality exists only on the razor’s edge of Right Now.
What is your life, right now?
Right Here, Right Now (Jesus Jones, 1991)

A woman on the radio talks about revolution
when its already passed her by
but Bob Dylan didnt have this to sing about you
you know it feels good to be alive
I was alive and I waited waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now, watching the world wake up from history
I saw the decade in, when it seemed
the world could change at the blink of an eye
And if anything
then theres your sign of the times
I was alive and I waited waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
I was alive and I waited waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now, watching the world wake up from history
Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now, watching the world wake up from history
Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now, watching the world wake up
So whatever conglomerate bought him out has been unable to get a single goddam thing done since May of this year. Fine. I don’t particularly take to heart a failure to capitalize on something. All that bugs me is that Mad V has been off the air, so to speak (and it is now no more than a metaphor) since May. And Mad V, in fact, rocks.
Mad V should be let loose to thrill the people; did you buy him just to put him on ice? What are you, some kind of gravitational monopolists or something? Who would prevent this man from doing his thing? If you didn’t know how you could use his thing, why did you buy him?
Any slave trader would have slapped you silly for that.
The Farewell Performance:
It’s been a great few weeks for me. What started off as a joke turned into a connection with so many people. After 4 weeks of going viral across the internet I’ve just signed a contract with a TV production company, and as a result, there can be no more MadV on YouTube.
I just wanted to say ‘goodbye’ in a meaningful way…
I can’t thank the fans enough – all the comments, the tributes, the dedication – you guys really are awesome.
I’ve learned a lot, and I hope some of you have too. It’s been fun along the way. If I could leave just one idea – it would be this:
We are all part of this world, so let’s respect one another. If you gotta be sayin something, say it nice. Don’t let the haters stand in your way. I didn’t. True!I’m off to new and brighter things.
Thankyou YouTube for creating the platform we can all dive off.Keep your chin up
Always
Thaniel (aka MadV)
