For A Minute There I Lost Myself

*drum noises*
*stop*

Hello!

Lack of posting I know but I really don't want to turn into that guy from that xkcd comic, you know the one. So onto, something. I watched Zombieland today. In short it's a comedy zombie movie in the same sort of style as 'Shaun of the Dead'. Think of it sort of like 'Left For Dead' but in movie form except without the special zombies, and a black guy. A big part of the story is a list of rules that the main character has made for surviving the zombie apocalypse, it's implied that he has been living with these rules long before the apocalypse actually happened. The list includes such things as keeping fit (Rule #1 Cardio) to beating anyone who is a zombie regardless of who they were before (Rule #22 Be Ruthless). The whole film follows the main character and the people he meets as he makes his way east where civilization is said to be. In short the movie is fucking amazing, funny, action-y and it has one of the most unexpected cameos, ever.
The zombies in this movie aren't like many of the usuals (eg. slow shuffling yet taking heaps of damage, or fast and weak) nor do they have any super powers. They are merely humans with a lust for blood and no sense of pain. There is also once or twice the mention of "Zombie Kill of the Week" which is the best kill of a single zombie of that week, this is one of the best things ever, and I hope when the Zombie Apocalypse happens we all have some sort of way to vote for the zombie kill of the week.
To finally wrap up, it's a great Film and I recommend it for a few laughs and an overall quite good zombie flick.

Goodbye

Hello, I'm Still Here All That's Left...

Ok first things first.

I haven't posted in a while because I was in Japan, and was unable to find the time to blog. Most of you already knew this but I just thought I'd confirm that.

Secondly I'm putting on my hat from the days of NSR and starting to review things because I figure this Blog needs some sort of direction otherwise it shall go no where, very quickly. So as of now the shiny Cbox is now open to requests for reviews on songs, movies, whatever really, even perhaps shops or places. Keep in mind though that reviews on books i haven't read or games i haven't played may take a while as i need to get through them first.

Now for a music recommendation, we haven't had one of those in a fair while.

Heart Attack In A Layby- Porcupine Tree

Ok first off ignore the strange name of the band, they are quite generally amazing and this song is just incredible. It's slow and about a man slowly dying, it's seemingly sad yet a beautiful song at the same time. It's a song to listen to while you're alone or just watching the world pass by as you feel dis-jointed from everything when you listen to it. The feeling could be related to the same feeling that you may experiencing when listening to "Something In the Way" by "Nirvana". Or you could not feel anything when listening to music, I'm unsure, all I know is that I do feel differently with different songs.

In stranger news, in Melbourne a group of year 12 students have been attacked by masked men while celebrating their last day in a Melbourne park. The men have been reported to be masked and attacked the students with baseball bats. One student is currently in hospital with a broken jaw and another in hospital with "severe" concussion. The strangest thing about this is that there was at least 100 people in the park and there weren't any more than 5 men that attacked them.

Well that's all for now

Goodbye

As he whispered Holy Things...

Words.

They are what we speak most of the time. Do we ever stop to realise how much power we give words? Think about the words that you would use in the average day. Sure there'd be just the normal ones like 'and', 'if', 'but' and so on and so forth. In addition to these over-used words, there would also, most likely, be some 'swear' words. These include such 'swears' as fuck, shit, cunt and other miscellaneous 'swears'.

Why are these words classified differently as others?

Why do people cringe at the sound of them?

Why do they have so much power?

I believe the answer to all these questions is that we let them do these things. We used these words less and less, so they became more of 'a big deal' when people did use them. From this sprung what you could almost call a 'fear' of these words, and what they meant when they came from people's mouths. The actual meaning of the words stopped mattering, 'fuck' no longer meant the act of fornication, 'cunt' was no longer a vagina, and 'shit' was no longer excrement. The words began to have the same amount of power regardless of the way that they were said, muttering 'fuck' had the same power as screaming it at someone. This gave way to the words having amazing power, people feared their use, and to a lesser extent felt differently towards the people that would use them. The power of the word should not lie in the word itself, but lie within the person saying the word. The same way screaming has a different effect to whispering. The words are slowly losing their power, as they become more often used.
Therein lies another problem though. The English language is becoming more and more impoverished as less of it's words are being used. When was the last time you heard someone use a word that you had never heard before, or use a word that you did know, just they used it in a different context? People are getting lazier with they way they speak. For an exclamation of surprise or discontent, most people would just use fuck  or shit, when there are hundreds of better words to use, like zounds, this word is so bad, that in the 17th century it was banned by the government of the United Kingdom. My message to all of you is that never hesitate to use any word, but don't just limit these words to the ones we all know. Find new ones to say, bring the English language back to life.

Endless Dreams, Forever Asleep

Woah, this post just morphed.

Which gives me an amazing idea for a blog.

1 post, edited daily/weekly/monthly/whatever. The edit could be a complete change, like this one was.OR. It could just be a slight addition to the post, eg. the shenanigans of that day/week/month/whatever. It's really just a thought, I won't be doing anything like that though, I do have a few plans for other blogs though, blogs which cannot die. And on that note, I'm off again.

Goodbye.

I Think I'll Blow My Brains Against The Ceiling

Hello all, i return to continue my little posts about the blogs that are around me. Todays topic is deceased blogs. The death of a blog is never an easy thing to watch, some remain oblivious to the end and then just stop, others get bored and just kill it for shiggles, but the most fun to watch are those who realise that the blog is dying and make it go out in style, namely NSR. So without further space filling with needless text here are a list of blogs that have died while RAM has been alive, and some that died well before.

Awsumo Extreme
Well this was my introduction to blogging and was where a part of "The Great Blog War" between myself and Sean Madden, who was mentioned along side his blog Tpop last post. It was a fairly terrible blog with most of the posts just ripping into someone or something, and then the last post was one i did on my birthday, and i reviewed "Resistance: Fall of Man". Overall not a great blog, but for some reason it got an astronomical amount of views, which i never fully understood, most likely bots though. It's fairly terrabad but HERE is the link if you wanted it.

NSR
Out of all the blogs that I have witnessed die, this has to take the cake as the coolest. Nathan got bored and started to plot and scheme, noone noticed of course because it's Nathan, he's good at this. So cogs started to turn, people got angry, there was a lack of posts. Everything started to fall into place. Whether he was the starter of the anger and the lack of posts, is still unclear, but all that definatley helped. So then the blog started to get "static" as it was based around as if it was a radio station. The posts had many hyphens in uneeded places, indicating at static. The colour drained from the blog, literally, and we all said our goodbyes. Well my goodbye was a rise-up against the facist government style post, shame Nathan took away our voices (the cbox) and the uprising failed before it could begin. Every other blogger (DJ) said their goodbyes and quietly left, knowing that what they had was amazing, and that there would forever be a large hole in their blogosphere. Most of the DJ's left blogging for good, others like myself and Sean had other blogs to return to. Many a blog came and went after that, and since them Nathan himself has left blogging for good. The blog is still there as a stark reminder of the past, HERE is the link.

The Manwhores Guide
A perfect example of a great idea but sadly this blog has 4 posts and thats all we've ever heard from the guys who did it. Sean was apart of it and he struggles to post regularly (no offence meant) on Tpop so evidently he cannot post on two blogs. This blog had great potential and I am a little saddened by the fact it went nowhere so quickly. HERE is the link, I dont advise clicking on it, you'll only want more.

Instant Blue
Nathan really couldnt leave blogging after NSR could he? No, he couldnt. There was an irresistable force pulling at him to continue blogging, yes he continued for a month or so after NSR to post on this new fandangled Instant Blue. It was short lived but otherwise a very good blog. Why he quit is still a bit of a mystery, perhaps he grew tired, or perhaps he had nothing more to say, so he went on his way. HERE is the link the top post is his "Goodbye to Blogging" post.

JToL/TCoL
Ahh yes, my blogs after NSR, before I came back to RAM of course. They are listed together because they literally are the same blog. To put it otherwise, JToL morphed into TCoL. So it was still alive, just not there. JToL started out fairly well, but slowly descended into faggotry, the likes of which almost started another "Great Blog War" one that I perhaps could not win this time. I saw the inevitable to JToL morphed, into TCoL. TCoL stands for "The Construction of Light" which is a King Crimson song. It summed up what I was trying to do, which was revive NSR. So I got back into character, grabbed Nathan and Telfer, and we were off and running. It lasted maybe a month or so, perhaps less. It was a vain attempt to establish what NSR had been and I even donned on my old Alter-Ego, DJ JWoL. The whole thing didn't last, we were at each others throats, myself and Nathan, Telfer had left long ago. I ended the whole saga with DJ JWoL commiting suicide and "Wonderful World" started to play. It remains as a reminder to never again try to re-enact NSR, the link is HERE.

The Nathan Variety Blog
No prizes for guessing who this blog belongs to. Or more, it did belong to him. He has long since abandoned it. It was just generally Nathan telling epic tales of whatnot and etcetera. It's hard to describe it, but it was an amazing blog and well worth a read. HERE is the link.

Well that wraps it up for the blogs that have come crashing around me, do tell if I have missed any because these are the only ones I could think of. So for now, that is all.

Goodbye.

Fall on your Tongue like Pixie Dust

I've come to realise that although the internet is endless or very very large, my group of blogs that I frequently go on, is rather small. It consists of roughly 3 people and here they are, with a lil about their respective blogs, I just thought i'd bring you into my world a little more.

Sean Madden
His blog has been going on for the longest out of all the blogs I know, it has it's ups and downs and I have been mentioned more than twice, often for good but more than likely for bad. He blogs about a broad range of things, it's all his opinion too, so the quality of the posts of his can vary wildly, from sheer genius to just general bitchyness. But overall just a generally amazing blog. He has also never left, he has had droughts of posts, but always he has come back to it. (worst grammer ever) HERE is the link.

Brooke Steedman
A newcomer to blogging she burst onto the scene, possibly and most likely when she got sick of me telling her how i blog alot, so I guess she just came onto it for shiggles. Her posts are varied and are generally about her life in general. I often get a mention normally about how amazing i am at jumping/using the phone. Her posts are often good, and I can honestly say I enjoy them, not everyone does though. HERE is the link.

Amy Colla
Amy, her twin is my biffle, and she's pretty cool herself. Her blog is one of those hip jive fashion style ones with lots of pics and lots and lots and lots of followers. It's easily the most popular of the blogs I follow, which just goes to show being a tad generic can get you friends. Its a fairly cool blog and I do recommened it to anyone interested in fashion. HERE is the link.

Triffin Livanas
A greek man of greek decent, his blog is incredible. He was fairly new in comparison to Sean and myself, but everything he posts is rather amazing. He has a great music taste and if he ever recommends you anything, just do it. He blogs about anything and everything, marvellous posts alround. HERE is the link.

Well there you have it, a bunch of my real life friends, and their virtual blogs. There are a few missing people but they have left blogging, most likely for good. Times are changing and they are leaving us fast, we try to grab moments by these blogs and immortalising them, if I can recommend anything from this post is to check out two of my closest friends oldest blogs. HERE and THERE and  EVERYWHERE.That wraps it all up for tonight I suppose, perhaps another post about a place in my mind later, or maybe not.

Chaotic Organizations Of Man

Hello All, it's been a short while, but I assure you this blog hasn't died.

Well I've done this before but I really would like to share my day with you all, it was a little like "Ferris Buellers Day Off" except without the car, and the whole day off, but it did end with my running through backyards and whatnot to get home before my parents. Which by the way, I was successful at.

Well my day started like any other with me waking up to the sweet sweet tunes of JJJ and whatever they happened to be playing at that time. I do believe it was Remember Me-Tame Impala, it's a fairly good song, I do recommend it. Well I got in my mothers car to go to the orthodontist and arrived there, it's not very interesting but my teeth still hurt. I then was dropped at Meadowbank station and was let to make my own way home.

Whilst I was at Meadowbank Station a man who was blind came up and asked for $5, i figured it was more than likely he was trying just to scam money but i thought what the hey, i've got nothing to lose, it's not my money.I purposely missed the first train and then, caught another one that would take me to hornsby, via central. Now to anyone that knows the Northern Line well, that's a hell of a train ride. At Meadowbank Station i got myself a bottle of mother, which was new and I didnt know about.

On my way to central a man, who i can only assume had some sort of mental disablility started to talk to me about his drug problem and how it's getting tough for him to buy because of the global financial crisis, i listened and acted like cared, i think that was the right thing to do.

I got off at Central Station to go to the toilet, where i broke my bottle of mother. I left it in the bathroom for all to see. I then went back up to the platform, number 17. I called Brooke because I was bored, she also has a blog go visit it, click HERE.

So then i got back on a train, which went to hornsby and sat by myself and that was the most boring train ride ever. I read MX and yeah, that's it. Oh and it was yesterdays MX.

So i then arrived at school at 12:20pm during assembly i tell a teacher who signed my note explaining my absence, I guess so i couldnt use it again. I then re-joined class with no books or anything just sorta zoned out from pain and the thought of meeting up with friends after school, I did exactly that. On my way home i was bored so I ran through backyards and gardens and such, I felt very Ferris Bueller-esque shame there was no music/ crusty old dean chasing me.

Well that there was my day.  If you can Check out 'Humbug' the newest Album from 'The Arctic Monkeys' it comes out on Friday. 

So Now i must say goodbye for now. Goodbye

We should never be afraid to die

Evening all you 6 or so readers.

Here I am, keeping up a stream of posts on the newly restarted RAM, and yet Death comes a-knockin' on my cbox ( I would say door there, but that would just be silly). Do you all want this blog to die? I mean honestly, what's with the trend of killing blogs anyway, or more the trend of wanting blogs to die. It all started with NSR which died spectacularly, then Nathan's Instant Blue had him have a goodbye to blogging post, and then on TCoL he left which he blamed me for. I then ended TCoL with my alter-ego (DJ Jwol) commiting suicide while "Wonderful World" played on the radio. Well just following the rule of "3 times is a trend", that there is a trend my friends. And I shall do everything in my power to not have this blog die, which i am rather famous for. A thought strikes me as I write this, "this could be the most ironic 'goodbye post' ever" but no that's lame. Ok moving on from my lil' rant.

New Muse songs have been released and they are fairly good, but it's the unreleased songs that I am excited about, heres the track listing for their new album, which by the way is called "The Resistance"

1"Uprising" – 5:06
2"Resistance" – 5:46
3"Undisclosed Desires" – 3:56
4"United States of Eurasia/Collateral Damage" – 5:47
5"Guiding Light" – 4:13
6"Unnatural Selection" – 6:54
7"MK Ultra" – 4:06
8"I Belong to You/Mon Cœur S'ouvre à ta Voix" – 5:21
9"Exogenesis: Symphony Part I (Overture)" – 4:18
10"Exogenesis: Symphony Part II (Cross Pollination)" – 3:56
11"Exogenesis: Symphony Part III (Redemption)" – 4:37

It's those last three songs that I'm very desperate to hear, epic songs are epic, but a song so epic that it requires to be on three separate songs, now that's epic. In other music news Bloc Party released a new song called "One More Chance", It's a very good song and I cannot wait for their new album to come out. An odd thing about Bloc party is that each album sounds different, which is a thing few bands are able to do as well as them. Also every member is gay, not that it makes a difference, just some trivia.

Well I guess I'm gonna wrap this post up for now, so to all you readers, I've lost count these days, goodnight and keep safe.

Erase the Silence

Morning All, I'm back again with a bit of a blog post.

Have you ever stopped to think about the amount of tech in our world today? If so, have you ever then stopped to think that it's nigh impossible to be away from all of this, these days. I have often wondered what life would be like if one just so happened to isolate oneself from every single form of technology in existance. I know it's hypocritical this being posted on a blog and all but if you do but one thing I ever ask you, just think, "what would life be like if we never pushed technology further?". Perhaps a simpler place, the world would be much bigger (not literally, I'm merely referring to globalisation, and how that wouldn't happen). Things certainly would be different. Well that was fairly unoriginal but It doesn't really matter does it?

Now for perhaps some lyrics, just for old times sake really.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sat in the café by the cracker factory
We were practicing our magic trick
And my thoughts got rude
As you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix
Said your mistaken if you thinking that I am gun' go cold before
As you bit into your strawberry lace,
And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper,
Is all you have left and all is going to waste

Your past times
Consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called
Crying Lightning
And how you like to aggravate the ice cream man on rainy afternoons

The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on it's way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never look like yourself from the side
But your profile did not hide,
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne.

With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
Saw them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war
And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp, no gaps to claw

And your past times
Consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying Lightning
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
Uninviting
But not have as impossible as everyone assumes
You are Crying Lightning

Your past times
Consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying Lightning
Crying Lightning
Crying Lightning
Crying Lightning
Your past times
Consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahh good ol' Thrak

That, is the new song from the Arctic Monkeys called "Crying Lightning" from their upcoming album "Humbug", do check them out, I have every released album so if you would like to check them, you need only to ask.

Well I must be off, as Bob Dylan put it "the hour's gettin' late hey!" so for now, have a good one all you crazy cats, just for me....

You and me will all go down in history

History, something we all learn in school, and we are all taught the "facts" of what happened. While these may be actual facts, we must always remember that 'History is Written by the Victor'. This would mean that most history is written rather biasly, the writers people being heroes and the enemies, basically spawns of satan. Thankfully many people in power have diaries, or at least that is what most of history would imply. Let me use my over-used example of Hitler, the first thing we learn about him is his evils. "But that's what he's famous for" many people say, but didn't he also bring Germany back from the edge of destruction, basically save an entire country, and then lead the people by using his incredible public speaking ability? Or does that not mean as much because of the atrocities he did? We do learn about his good deeds eventually, but already the initial impact and the thoughts that come flooding at the hearing of his name. Those sort of things cannot be changed, because you only get one first impression. If any of you reading this ever become famous, it will not matter what type of person you were, just what you did, that's how the world will remember you, through your actions. 

Just a bit of a short post tonight, and I apologise, but that post was a long time coming, and I needed it to get out there in the blogosphere. Farewell all of you readers, how ever many there may be of you.

Bring the Dark Disaster

Title irrellevant, I just like that song, and especially those lyrics. I promise only to tell you how hard it is to post once in this post (and there we go).Tonight I think I'll just give you some pictures of a very fun thing to do, which I will fully explain later. These three are my only ones I've done with the latest at the bottom



So there we have it a bunch of possible Album covers, for bands that don't exist, yay. And here's how you can do it at home!

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random... Read More”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

There we have it, how exciting. Now I think a lot of you have already done one of those, infact I'm fairly certain I stole it off Trif, but moving on nonetheless. These series of photo's and then a copypasta'd bit of text is starting to make me wonder, "this isn't a real post", and then "what makes a real post?". Is it really, as Nathan put it:
a NEW and original subject
introduction of topic
discussion of topic
personal conclusions
should be at least 10 lines
Or is it something perhaps more than that? Perhaps those are guidlines but you still can't fill those guidelines with stuff you've just copypasta'd. I realise how close I was to having a generally un-fulfilling post, the kind I'm sort of infamous for. I saved myself, and yet now I'm blogging about the saving-ness. Well that will be the only time I intentionally blog about blogging for a while now, and expect some more original RAM style posts next time. 

So, for now, sleep tight readers, all 6-7 of you...

What A Wonderful World

This blog, whilst few in posts, has been going on for some time, and because of this, I feel a little trapped. I need to break out in this blog, and do some posts about myself, and not as many in the same style as the originals, this does not mean an end to what you like about my blog, just a movement. All things must change to keep up, these days if you don't keep up you are a relic, and must be left behind. In our fast world of technology, and our attention spans getting shorter and shorter, the change made to this blog is not bowing to this world, but merely bowing to me. So this is not the beggining of the end, merely the beggining of a new leaf, a change of heart to put it in one of my friends words, and I look forward to the experiences yet to come.

So for now, I leave you, but will return with an original RAM (Repeat After Me, get it?) style post, so stay safe and stay addicted.

Why does the darker one seem so bright?

Good and Evil, Light and Dark. Are these concepts actually opposites of each other?, or merely different ways of looking at the same thing. See, think about the old dillema, a man steals bread, but it's to feed his starving family, they would surely die if he does not steal food. Is it evil to have stolen the food, or is it good that he's still supplying for his family even when the odds are stacked against him? Is it, in this case, the motive or the action that would define whether it's good or evil. Saying that, we find another dilemma, often people will place themselves in a higher position to others and not see the problems of other people, instantly labelling the action based on first judgement, never caring for the reason. These people are often the bane of people that work on the vague side of Good and Evil, but enough on them. The whole concept of Good and Evil, Light and Dark, Right and Wrong, you get the picture, this whole convept is flawed because it doesn't take into account people's perspectives and reasons for the action. This has lead me to believe that the world isn't Black and White as many people think, with good opposing evil, but just different shades of grey. The world isn't an evil place or a good place, but both ends of the spectrum can be found anywhere, you just need to know where to look.

I'm sorry they didn't tell you about the world

Lo, and Behold I actually have returned, after a long drought of posts due to many other distractions Repeat After Me is getting more posts injected into it. The numurous distractions have infact been other blogs which you can see all about on my profile page, there is one that won't be there though and that is NSR. It really it just a bit of a husk these days, but when it was active it was a shining beacon in the dark days. With bad blogs everywhere, it just raised the standard for everyone. It's a short post for now, but I have plenty more ready to roll. Repeat After Me shall live again.

Am I too lost to be saved... Am I too lost?

Christianity, being one of the biggest and most powerful religions as a whole, is one of the best self help programs, but it also contains the worst thing in existence. I am talking about God, Jehovah, Yaweh or even just Ywh, whatever you  name it, it is still the move vile, cruel and vain thing ever recorded.  The story goes that, God made the heavens and the earth and on this earth he created humans. For a while they lived happily for God had one rule, don't eat the fruit from a certain tree. An innocent request, but his reasons could not have been darker, this fruit when eaten would give the person knowledge. One of the humans ended up eating the fruit and realised that they were naked and tried to hide their nakedness. God then threw them out of paradise on earth, this was our fall from grace, from which we never really recovered. It never ceases to amaze me that God seems to only set humans up for a later fall. Think about it, God knows all past, present and future then why would he put the Fruit Tree in Paradise anyway, if only to watch us fall and make up completley dependant on him.

Any human with a conscience must realise how vain and cruel that is. He creates us just so that we can do wrong and be forever in his debt. Now think, if a human did anything of that sort, we would call him the most sick, vile and degenerate human alive, so isn't God sick, wretched and degenerate? "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord" Isiah 55-58, this quote is thrown aorund by many christians in defence of their odious God.I am thankful that my ways are not the same as God, because this merely means I will never create an entire universe to worship me. Aeons pass and our one saviour from the fallen angel known by many names the earliest, thought to be Ba‘al Zebûb. This is Satan, an ex-angel shall we call him, who for reasons unknown to humans other than that he defied God, was thrown out of Heaven. Now this post is not trying to sypmathise with the devil but all we have is God's word that the Devil acted against him.

So back to the point. Many years after the fall from grace of Man, God sends his only son to the world so that he could die for our sin. Do you see where God gets us? He creates sin so that we can't get into Heaven by any other way than worshipping him, then he sends his son to die so that our sin is washed away merely by grace alone. But we cannot be washed of sin unless we accept God into our lives and love him eternally, God fails to understand that just because you have a gift, does not mean you have to be recognised for it, many Humans in this world do amazing things that are never recognised, so why can God not grasp that concept?

And the People bowed and Prayed....To the Neon God they made

Five hundred years ago we were under the control of the Catholic Church. Since then radical changes have happened in the world and society in general, needless to say the Catholic Church no longer has the awsome power it used to have. Most of the populous of the world can now say that they are free of the Catholic Church, by free I mean they no longer pay a tithe and the Church now hardly has any say in the way the world goes now, they only shackle the willing these day. A partial reason for the loss of power of the Church and possibly even religion in general, is that we have become more cynical about worshipping great powers and there is now this, urge for lack of a better word, to go against the norm of society, or what you percieve to be the norm of society. In doing this we have turned to other things to better make use of our time, and they have become our shackles. As religion was our shackles five hundred years ago so have the media, gaming and entertainment industries become our shackles of today. Whether we like it or not the human mind can not stay in a state where it's devoted to nothing, at least not for very long. This being said, we will slowly begin to realise and society will experience an upheaval and the cycle will begin again.

Dreams are Made Winding through my head

Dreaming appears to be something unique to humans. Why we dream is not clearly known but the general idea of dreams is that they are signals that your brain sends out and they are interpreted as pictures. Now this definition may not be entirely accurate but it's as close as I'm going to tell you. Ok so dreams appear to normally be good things and most of the time they seem to be living out fantasy's that you have. But stop now and think is there any point of dreaming? Sure it's fun but couldn't our minds be doing something more productive. Or perhaps we are looking to laterally at this. Perhaps the fact that we dream is just for the mere purpose for our brain to constantly be on the move even whilst asleep ,so with there being very little real stimuli around the brain makes its own  stimuli. This being not what your brain normally experiences means that everything is possible in these interpretations of un-real stimuli. This probobly accounts for the strange happenings in dreams where everything is possible and nearly everything is happening. These dreams we have, have also been interpreted as warning signs that bad shenanigans are amok. This can be normally written off as people seeing what they want to see but occaisionally we will delve deeper into the human pysche and something will happen that was flat out declared a few days earlier or even years.

Life is your Glory

An underlying fact about humans is that against all odds we will find ways to survive and keep going most of the time with sheer willpower alone. This may seem like a small thing to post about but think about it why do we do this? Is it because we believe that we have something worth living for or is it a more self centred aproach that we believe that the world truly would be a better place with us in it. Another human, another human using a car, using electricity and slowly killing themsleves with the choices they make, but hey they donate to charity occaisionally and use solar powered water heating so evidently they are truly doing the world a great deal of good. This post is not meant to think that the world would be better off without you it perhaps wouldn't but the world would would be better without a large amount of people unnamed and not remembered. Back to the original idea, humans , whether it is some sort of over inflated sence of righteousness or just something simpler like love. To quote someone i think love brings us together and tears us apart, it is the best and worst emotions the best because it brings happiness to all regardless of their situation and worst because when it fails all hell breaks loose within yourself. Suddenly I fell so very angsty so I think i'll stay away from love in this post from now on. The ability to survive is not of course limited to humans all creatures on this earth want to survive whether they fully understand it or not. There reason for survival seems to be just to breed and protect their offspring until their offspring can survive for themselves and then repeat the process. Perhaps that is our basic underlying reason for surviving or wanting to survive whether we know it or not.

You changed the channel then you changed our minds

The media controls mostly what we hear and see from places afar this much should be obvious to anyone who doesn't spend there time sticking 6 inche nails into their heads whenever possible. This works mostly and worked especially through World War One and Two where nearly everyone was told that everyone under Hitlers command was tottally and purely evil much like he is made out to be. While the general public assumed that every nazi would slit your throat and steal your baby to later rape it in some sort of satanic ritual. The soldiers that fought on the front line knew that this was bullshit take one of my friends grandfather for example. He started out in the Estonian National Guard when World War Two started. That was then merged into the Soviet Union Army (Also called the Red Army), then his battallion was taken over by the Germans. The men instantly started to get on with the same people they had been shooting at a few hours earlier. Strange how finding thing out for yourself is normally better. This only highlights what should be plainly obvious to all that the media basically controls everything we here and see on TV. Short post tonight I know but I really couldn't think of much else to write about.

If we fall, then we all fall, and we fall alone

The human psyche is a strange one. Nearly all other animals will never think to abandon friends or families at the sign of danger yet we as humans are quick to do so. I believe that this is our strength but also our greatest weakness. This every man for himself attitude to life can help if say the person you are abandoning knows that they are going to die and for you to stay would be pointless. Yet we abandon each other at the slightest possibility of danger. The reason behind this is that we are scared. Yes we are scared, of death perhaps , or perhaps what comes after. This can cause us to live maybe longer but eventually we will be alone and we all die at some point. I say that death should not direct our actions if death calls for you you should embrace it willingly but is this just another escape. An escape from the chaotic world that we are born into. Some people believe that there is an afterlife that is the light at the end of the dark tunnel that is our world.I propose that there is nothing. The reason behind this is that I believe that we cannot accept death no matter how much we say we do. We are born into this world and slowly gain full control of our actions we see what we want to and do as we wish. Therefore I believe that we cannot fathom ourselves being nothing with none of those things. Another reason I believe is behind the afterlife belief is that humans are rather self centred and we do not like to believe that this is it, that after we die in 60 years or so we will be but a vague memory to those left, if we are that even. The point is that we all die and we run from this all our lives but we cannot run forever.

Sexism And You

Hello All me again although this is MY blog so if someone else was posting it could be a bit of a worry. Now as the title of this post suggests, this post is about sexism.... and you. Now to start off , white males have ruled the world for quite some time (when I say rule the world I mean rule the important parts of it). What I just typed is probobly sexist but the thing is, it's also true. Now with this being the case women seem to have this aura around them , that you can't hurt them, you can't offend them and god only know what will happen to you if you're a male and you inconvinience them in any way.  These unwritten laws are of course made up by women, so I propose that the women who made up those laws are themselves being sexist in the way that they are saying that women need special laws about them that men seem to have but no one actually takes notice of. Now this may seem a bit rash to start out with as my second post with hardly any following to speak of but really I just want to put my thoughts out there. Ok so my sexism rant (well a very short rant with only one good point in it but a rant nonetheless) is over and done with now to you the reader. If ever you may provoke sexism whether it's purposeful or not pull out my comeback and see how the female declaring sexism responds. Thankyou all and Goodnight.

First Post

Ok so here I am and there you are, out there in the big wide world if your there at all. This blog is now joining the millions of others that are clogging up our internet, or would be if that was even possible which it might be. First a little about me Screen Name is Kinroth I'm not particularly sure why but I think I named my neopet that then the name sort of stuck. I'm not saying my real name or where im from not that it matters anyway because the amount of people with the same name as you is most of the time rather a staggering amount. Well now that the introduction is out of the way this can pave the way for the next posts which are generally going to be me going on about things in life that don't make a hell of a lot of sense. Also i hope to blog at least once a week.
