Wow….Facebook, Twitter and Livejournal were victims of Denial of Service attacks. I can just imagine people screaming the sky is falling down cause they can’t update their Twitter and Facebook. Friendster and Myspace weren’t affected at all, kinda sad if you think..that just means they aren’t popular anymore.
let’s jump on the bandwagon. Michael Michael Michael!!! Wait! wait! wait! I’m hearing throngs of people coming over flaming me for not crying or being sad or sensitive about the dead guy.
Oh please!! he was great, note WAS!
then he fucked up his own life. sure he didn’t pop pills on purpose to pull the plug on his own life, but any sane person would know popping it the way he did is a surefire way to meet the maker. And what’s with the pretentious concern over his death and being so over protective of him after his death. if all of his “fans” were really concerned about him, they could’ve should’ve banded together before the dude died and get him to stop his pill popping habits. also lovely concerned fans should’ve could’ve each donated a dollar each, thus helping him pay off whatever debts that was slowly but surely closing in.
all i’m sure of, all these so called fans are pretty hypocritical, uncaring and insensitive., just like me. thousands and millions are dying around the world and they do not care, or feel a thing. cause these poor people couldn’t make an impact in their lives. poor saps…would they really have wanted to die so insignificantly?? a little comment by me, WHOOSH!!! tsunami over my head about how insensitive i am. and they have the gall to call me insensitive…
on another note, because of the death of the Great King of Pop, news of Pirate Bay being purchased by a legit company has totally been overshadowed. Oh no….no more free music of Pirate Bay. now that’s news worthy of sobbing buckets of tears.
better prepare my armour for the onslaught of sensitive caring people!
i am as most of you would know, not an artistic person. however as of late, i’ve been immersing myself in things very related to art or even design. so here i am plugging in another great site which will be something i am gonna be browsing on a constant basis;
props to Wallace Stevens.
Excerpts from preface of The Sandman, Book of Dreams.
To be conscious a all is to be conscious of time, and of time’s arrond: of destiny. And to know that is to know that time must have a sto: to imagine death. Faced with the certainty of death, we dream, imagine paradises where it might not be so: “Death is the mother of beauty,” wrote Wallace Stevens. And all dreams, all myths, all the structures we throw up between ourselves and chaos, just because they are built things, must inevitably be destroyed. And we turn, desperate in our loss, to the preishable but delicious joy of the moment, we desire. All desire is, of course the hope for a fulfillment impossible in every nature of things, a boundless delightl; so to desire is always already to despair, to realize that the wished-for delight is only, after all, the delirium of our mrotal self-delusion that the world is large enough to fit the mind. And so we return to new stories — to dream.
and also, another lovely sentence from the preface,
“In the beginning, God made man?” Quite and quite precisely– the reverse.
I have always loved Gaiman’s work, since i was a young, when i was exposed to his Sandman comic in the papers. I grew up, got separated from the comic and of recent years, i began, to start reading his works again. and thus, the romance restarted with American Gods, Anansi Boys, Good Omen’s,Neverwhere, The Graveyard Book and a full circle later, back to The Sandman.
I have been off the music radar for weeks, haven’t been picking up any new stuff for my playlist.
Well, my mindless surfing on the web brought me in contact with a new album from a band i’ve never heard before and i enjoyed them tremendously. Meet Fanfarlo, very British, very folkish, just my type. they remind me very much of Arcade Fire, and a little of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. popsy folkish music. easy on the ears, keeps you humming and sits there in your head the whole day, can’t get that tune out of your head.
No sample here, but you can just visit their site http://www.fanfarlo.com/ and see if they suit your taste.
