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 ZebĂ»b. 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.
