But enough of my philosophical ratiocinations. Today is a time for recollection and resolution. But more importantly a time for friends and family to come together to forget the bad times and to forge good memories.
I wish you all a wonderfull time on the eve of this new decade and I shall be with you again, next year.
Last night as I was sitting in a cafe with a couple of friends Britney Spears' "If You Seek Amy" came on and one of my friends noted how blatantly unmeaningful the chorus is. Especially the line
"All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy"
And it really does make no sence, or at least until you listen to the phonetic expretion of this line. Watch the video and listen carefully to the chorus of "If You Seek Amy" . What She actually says can be dissambigued into letters as follows:
"All of the boys and all the girls are begging to
if (F)
you (U)
see (C)
ka (K)
my (M(e)).
This reminded me of another song - Lady Gagas' "Poker Face" were she might actually be singing about oral sex. In the bridge Poker Face sounds alot like Poke Her Face. And what does she mean by "Russian Roulete is not the same without a gun"? OR:
"I wanna hold em' like they do in texas, please
Fold em' let em' hit me, raise it baby, stay with me"
I said it before and I shall say it again.You are being fed subliminal messages,so please:
(c) Outspoken Poetthere's a way..
we can survive
there's a way...
we can get close to flying
there's a way I know
there is no harm in trying
take a little love, and pass it on...
On the second day of the Copenhagen climate summit, an agreement between rich nations which would undo an equitable principle enshrined in the Kyoto protocol has provoked an angry reaction from developing countries. Kyoto recognised that those countries which have produced the majority of the greenhouse gases have the greatest responsibility for tackling the resulting climate change.
The document referred to as the Danish Text was leaked to The Guardian, which reported: "The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN's role in all future climate change negotiations.
"The document is also being interpreted by developing countries as setting unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries in 2050; meaning that people in rich countries would be permitted to emit nearly twice as much under the proposals.
"The so-called Danish text, a secret draft agreement worked on by a group of individuals known as 'the circle of commitment' - but understood to include the UK, US and Denmark - has only been shown to a handful of countries since it was finalised this week."
"The reason is that the Umbrella group - known because it brings together all the rich and renegade polluters - the US, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Canada and sometimes, Russia, is asking for a completely different deal. They want to undermine the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, which is based on the distinction between the polluters who created the problem and others who need their right to development. The rich also want to scrap the Kyoto protocol, which gives them legally binding targets and forces compliance."

Comment:
So what does this basically mean. Nothing more than another example of the hypocracy of "democracy". The developed nations who are to blame for the greenhouse gas emitions want to have the power over major policy decisions, regarding greenhouse gases. In other words they would bythemselves be able to veto any proposed measure for reduction of polution if it is not up to their liking, as they will have 3 times the voting power of developing and economically insignificant nations. Mr.Obama I suggest you read the protocol of the Kyotto Convention.
Open up your eyes,and realise those lies!
Prince Paul is a star addition to this project. He has a keen ability for creating albums that sonically flow from start to finish, a trait that played a role in DeLa Soul
The Souls of Mischief have a full grasp on the skill of sharing a verse. You can tell they’ve done it for close to 20 years. On “Fourmation” the emcees go back and forth over a simple, but effective track. Meanwhile, on “Proper Aim” each emcee kicks a dope verse that lyrically complements the verse before. The album isn’t without flaws. The group constantly toes the line between brilliance and obscure. Tracks like “Poets” leave the listener yearning for a bit more from the crew. The Souls' common "I’m-better-than-you" tracks may actually be better than most recent releases, but they’re nothing revolutionary, and they fail to match up with some of their classic cuts in the Hiero catalogue.
Souls of Mischief prove that they can still put out a dope consistent effort and have fun doing it. While Hip Hop is stuck in the age of conformity, the Bay Area originators of the abstract are still pushing the limits and making music that feels good to them. The bottom line is Souls of Mischief know who they are, and who their audience is and isn’t. They aren’t trying to become a group that they aren’t and after 20 years of kicking rhymes, they still have plenty more to say. The end result comes out fresh, even if the occasional track misses the target. Montezuma’s Revenge may have been created by Prince Paul, but it’s told by Souls of Mischief and it is quite the entertaining adventure.

Here's a 1924 telegram from then Chief of U.S. Naval Operations, Edward W. Eberle, instructing all Naval stations to monitor the airwaves for any unusual transmissions due to anticipated contact from Martians. August 22nd of that year was witness to the closest Mars opposition since 1804 (a mere 55,777,566 km), and as such provided desirable conditions in which to receive radio signals from the Red Planet. The man tasked with clearing the airwaves - a Professor David Todd - somehow managed to persuade both the Army and Navy to report any findings for a three day period, but failed to silence the country's private radio broadcasters for even two days. Needless to say, the three day exercise produced nothing but static.

Time to wake up, It's the begining of your game.
The synthesis of good and evil and what lies inbetween.
Blazing on the surface,superficial deep ends.
People can be weird only if your weird with them.
Metamorphing words as a depiction of a man.
The goals of a free soul,animated in a frame.
I would like to know what is the ocean for a whale.
I dream to comprehend nature's everlasting plan.
Tell me,can a door exist without a wall put by man?
Can a life be worthy if you never make a change?
For the alternative perception,a transition to power,
and it;s prominent affection,
represent nothing more,than escalation of descend.
A silent war is raging on,for the loyalty of men.
Narrower the view becomes,the bigger is the plasma screen.
Individual perception leads to personal reactions,
So my vessel floats.
As I set a course for Avalon,
and challenge many more to tag along.
In my own oppinion the purpose of life is the individual pursuit of happiness. You might say that I am generalising but if you really look for a motive behind the lives of most people it slowly emerges. No matter what life you lead or what your aspirations are. And aspirations,wishes,dreams are all things that we desire,things we value and all of those,when accomplished make us happy.Whether out happiness depends on individual success,on love and family,on the wellbeing of others we all try to reach it. Unfortunately the reality of today is that most of us don't. Even for the corrupt and evil, that goal stands,as the deeds they do,no matter how low they might be still make them happy when acomplished.The mind is a hard think to understand, the sick mind is even harder. But happiness is the basic drive for all of us. No one wants to be lonely,no one wants to sad and depressed.
This is my view on the matter.Whether you find logic in it or not is up to you.This is my truth,that I have reached bymyself,and I encourage you to do the same.Life is too precious and beatifull in it's complexity to be waisted in idle existence.
