But want to just write something as it has been quite sometime. I have only cheaply copy-pasted Dylan's classic as a post in the past 6-7 months i think. A lot of things 'Looking at it is like looking at the sun!! You don't stare at it!You sense it and you look away !' Seinfeld immortalized the idea and looking at the sun was never the same again.
