Non-Poetic Post

Looking back at the past...
things I didn't really know about










Oh no!!
...another bloody post of wikipedia and youtube links again,
how lazy is that?!



The term psychedelic is derived from the Greek words ψυχή (psyche, "soul") and δηλοῦν (deloun, "to manifest"), translating to "mind-manifesting". A psychedelic experience is characterized by the perception of aspects of one's mind previously unknown, or by the creative exuberance of the mind liberated from its ostensibly ordinary fetters. Psychedelic states are an array of experiences elicited by various techniques, including sensory stimulation, sensory deprivation as well as by psychedelic substances. Such experiences include hallucinations, changes of perception, synesthesia, altered states of awareness, mystical states, and occasionally states resembling psychosis.

Random Lists #215

This is very unnecessary and odd but, I found some old bits of paper with random lists. Seems like the trend nowadays is to give you all data and let you filter out the bollcocks yourself, a-la wiki-leaks :

wiki leaks
Question: is the Swedish sex charge politically motivated?
Are we/you cynical or naive?

  • fly spray
  • bleach
  • spray stuff
  • cotton buds
  • toilet paper
  • laundry powder
  • dish gloves
  • clean and clear
  • vacuum?
L(ove)R

Badge of Moral Superiority
Consolidation of Power
Dangerous Moral High-ground
Introverted Society
Crazy tough and phoney Brave
the human crack binge .com

Dig it?
  • I'm a lucky bastard
  • informative nighmares
  • semi-elliptical
  • birdwatcher cruise
  • painted rocks
  • dolphins on youtube
  • unspecified disaster
  • approaching tide

NB: Sorry I have decided to drop the quality filter slighty (citation needed) and just put lots of crap on here (more than usual), so just read the bits you like or find interesting :)


while everyone pretends they're organised
while everyone pretend they're on to it...


Show of Hands

Ummm.... random question that may not get answered here, but I haven't been able to answer suffciently online:


Did john Lennon and Bob Marley ever meet?

any thoughts, answers?

I know Elvis meet Nixon...

and did you know that Nixon tried to get Lennon deported, invaded Cambodia and was pretty much the scummiest US prez I can think of (even with dubya in th mix). He took 'misuse of power' and 'conservative arrogance' to extreme heights. Got back in in 72 and managed to suppress the peace movement with the help of his political police force (the FBI) lead by J. Edgar Cuntface (sorry Hoover), who also knew how to exceed his jurisdiction...

Questioning authority is not treason, but abusing authority is.

WATCH: the doco "US vs John Lennon"



Random fact from wiki:
1968 was the only year of the twentieth century during which no British serviceman or servicewoman was killed in action.



Bagism

stuff I cut and paste from wiki about John Lennon:

"Lennon was adept at free association and improvisation in his linguistic explorations, which can be seen in both his prose writing and a portion of his lyrics. Use of puns, near-homonyms, bizarre imagery, disconnected narrative threads and references, creative misspellings, and abrupt, unresolved conclusions challenge the reader to either find meaning, or bring their own meaning to the text. It can be inferred that Lennon intended no deep meaning, but rather wanted to demonstrate his free-form creative abilities as well as his sense of humor."

cos I found it interesting...

Research indicates that, at the unconscious level, our minds have a tendency to focus on the optimistic while, at the conscious level, we have a tendency to focus on the negative. This unconscious bias towards the positive is often described as the Pollyanna principle.

Wiki - Dump

I think I'm actually gonna post a whole lotta stuff and use verbal English...
lax the anal grammar, syntax, spelling

so been a busy doing stuff lately, so forgot to write about it.
but now I am going to remedy that by boring the shit out of you.

FYI: I'm half way through season four of dexter at the moment
trinity is an evil fuck...

also discovered ch131, so been watching simpsons etc....
she was on the rebound from willy

also getting out and about, taking the car for a spin
trips to the hurinui,

I was hoping this post would make sense and explain what is to follow
but alas, we can't control how information will be received
and other useless garbage

sorry if some of this is personal, cryptic and makes no sense
but it's my external monologue

you won't actually find out much except for the curious thoughts I had

peace to the pike 29, not that this is an appropriate avenue to comment on serious everyday life matters, that are breaking the hearts of others

as always major music consumption of old and new, tried verses true
maybe read this post in reverse

I don't do this sort of crap too often promise!

Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid

and these are albums I would expect to migrate toward my digital devices shortly:

processes will never be respected, but they can be transparent and consistent

Guide on a Winding Path

I've come across so much random shit overtime
that has slowly become embedded into my character
I can now act as a signpost for the others who follow
they don't have to fall into the same traps hopefully
but can still obtain the knowledge that these mistakes bring
for I can warn of past injustice caused by stupidity
we have to remember or we will repeat these cycles
for way longer than we would have if we listened
if only there had been a myth or cave drawing to tell me
the last few generations were too preoccupied
to think about the future or their souls

American Splendour (stolen from wiki)

Harvey Lawrence Pekar (pronounced /ˈpiːkɑr/; October 8, 1939 – July 12, 2010) was an American underground comic book writer, music critic, and media personality, best known for his autobiographical American Splendor comic series. In 2003, the series inspired a critically acclaimed film adaptation of the same name.

Pekar described American Splendor as "an autobiography written as it's happening. The theme is about staying alive. Getting a job, finding a mate, having a place to live, finding a creative outlet. Life is a war of attrition. You have to stay active on all fronts. It's one thing after another. I've tried to control a chaotic universe. And it's a losing battle. But I can't let go. I've tried, but I can't."

The Venus Project

I got a flyer in my mailbox the other day it read...

Some people believe a "free-market" will produce freedom.
Turns out it produces cartels and monopolies.

Think about it.
www.thezeitgeistmovement.com


As it tends to fit with my personal beliefs and view so far...
but unfortunately I cannot see those who currently control our earth's' resources willingly redistributing them, which seems to be a necessary part of the plan...
they would kill all of the working class and the third world, before giving up their ill-deserved privileges

inheritance is theft
property is theft
socialism is corruption
we are not yet civilised

I fully think we should all check it out and research a little further into these ideas.
Anything that can improve our current system of neo-slavery,
third world manufacturing all our goods and all the other badness
e.g crime, war, torture, twilight, BP, victory riots, assassinations, rape, advertising, animal cruelty, starvation, shity jobs, depression, financial collapse, economic failure, graffiti, urban decay, chewing gum on the bottom of seats, wankers, fat people, unfunny comedy, manipulative rom-coms, other stuff I dislike, etc... (sorry went right off track)

I guess it's slightly utopian and optimistic, but that's still far better than the alternatives.

Of all forms of caution...

Now I say quotes to go here:

"An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows."
-Dwight D Eisenhower.

"The great thing about democracy is that it gives every voter a chance to do something stupid."
-Art Spander.

"If a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, what is the significance of a clean desk?
-Laurence J Peter.

"It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in an argument."
-William G McAdoo.

"Traditions are group efforts to keep the unexpected from happening."
-Barbara Tober.

"Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd."
-Voltaire.

"Egotism is the anaesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity."
-Frank Leahy.

"The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget."
-Thomas Szasz.

"Science is nothing but developed perception, interpreted intent, common sense rounded out and minutely articulated." George Santayana.

"The English language was carefully, carefully cobbled together by three blind dudes and a German dictionary."
-Dave Kellett.

For more quotes talk to other people or read.
Or subscribe to reality's daily feed of useless information...

We all have to catch up sometime, indeed!

Lyrics I liked:

I'm not as crazy as I used to be...

Next time baby, I'll be bulletproof.


Something I thought:

Both the cultural and physical world, independently consist of hierarchies of power structures, which are constantly being challenged. Everything is fighting each other in some way, or in a state of potential tension awaiting a spark.

Skankalicious with Cheese



While he/they/I/you was/were off trying to solve the worlds' problems/accomplish something,

they realised...

some/many/all/none had already been solved!

But (un)fortunately many new ones were created in the aftermath...
................which will now be recapped in bullet-point format:

  • like what to do with ourselves
  • spare time
  • priorities
  • needing money
  • doing things to get that paper
  • having that jay-ohh-bee take your time
  • having no time
  • retiring
  • having too much time again
  • but less paper
  • the end
so you see we either have far too much time
or no where near enough
never really in the middle
your all too old now
there's a younger generation
waiting to take your place
so they can stress about:
appropriate time-management
and other modern dilemmas...
of vital importance one moment
and absolutely none the next.

Have fun you fallas but don't muck it up for the rest of us eh!
(well only in your experimental adolescent phase, but then u get right back on track, ya hear!)

You can get back to licking stamps now, if for some reason that was what you were up to when you started reading this post?? You weirdo...

The Rambonator

Promises, promises...

i'D quite like to go to the US sometime in the not too distant future, cos that place has influenced the shit out of me... with its TV and its movies and its music... its products and commercials...
all over the place everywhere, more than any other stuff
shit i musta grown up on a mix of like 50% (or more?) American content on telly, not that I really noticed nationalities as a child, ohh not to forget the stuff from the UK and Australia (both sorta US copies and wannabes in their own way...) that padded the rest of our seemingly national identity vacuum... before we got-over ourselves in the noughties and realised we're quite a buch of funny buggers who have met the odd famous chap at the airport...

so does that make me culturally like at least 20% American even tho I ain't been? Well no cos it's really just a big homogeneous mix of other cultures anyway, but we forget all cultures came from somewhere else, and were usually influenced by what came before, whether were talking contemporary culture influenced/spread by the net or ancient societies writing on cave walls,
it (their/our culture) all draws from what is around it, or what it comes into contact with, e.g other things that are not itself...
all borders are bullsh*t.
we discover what is uniquely ourselves by experiencing or witnessing things that we haven't seen before, or haven't been exposed to...
we are all related, if u go back far enough.

The day i got mobile broadband...

the trickle turned into a torrent!

even if i do live in a (some would say) backward peasant society where the plebs are bamboozled through trickery (and shiny things), into thinking that this shit should rightfully cost a fortune...
ohh well...

Oh and I got my very own lap top like a week ago aswell, so have gone and cobbled together all me years worth of data, including songs (maybe 30G) pics and old odd-and-ends from my digital childhood (10G or so)... so I am thoroughly chuffed and all that palava, which is probably why you get the following rant:

HIGHLY UNUSUAL BUT: a wee story for ya....
the cam belt in my old Mitsubishi pretty much shat itself tonight, just (possible italics necessary) as I was leaving my parents (I had gone like less than half a k), after the Monday night ritual feed* the aforementioned vehicle slowly and quietly died, all motor functions lost forever. Stopped running and never started again and will probably never ever run again, after I slowly ran it into the ground over a period of 10 or so years. Funny thing is (possibly ironic as well) it was about to be traded tomorrow for a newer more European 4 wheeled pimping device. That should still go through sweet, as they won't want to jeopardise lots of money for a little money. or so we shall see...

I haven't won lotto I just decided to spend my way out of the recession, my savings were attracting naff interest, and my portfolio of awesome cars has just expanded!
