К юбилею БГ

Posted by Alina on November 30, 2008 at 7:03pm

Точнее, уже после юбилея. По Культуре только что закончилась получасовая передача о БГ, вполне себе ничего, мало закадрового текста и несколько старых любимых песен. Оказывается, он и про Йорка сочинил:...А я хожу и пою,И всё вокруг Бог;Я сам себе суфийИ сам себе Йорк...:))

animal crossing is not road kill

Posted by Janie on November 30, 2008 at 7:35am

So i've been playing animal crossing for about a week and a half now...it's becoming a problem. I have also gotten my wife hooked as well. it's just like me to get someone else involved in my bad habits. It's a lot of fun to play that game. I've also not smoked...even though i feel like killing people all the time now. I've also really gotten into Modeselektor recently and it's been fun to listen to it at work. It makes the day go by much quicker. I do need to get some new music though, I always want more.I just realized that I was never able to get past the second level in Super Mario Bros. god, I suck at video games...and yet I deal with video games all day long.....who knew! i didn't....

RHMB

Posted by Missy aka Mom on November 29, 2008 at 4:12pm

Is it just me or is the RHMB really hard to get. I just feel lost and out of place. Maybe someone could offer lessons. Where am I going with this...I don't know.

Every problem have a solution!

So lastnite I watched the CNN heroes Awards.Honoring 10 heroes on making a difference on those in needs.Every story brought me down into tears!These Heroes have sold their homes.. quit their jobs!! just to help those who are suffering! Provding food, shelther, clothes..education anything possible to ease their pain.AMAZING heart!inspiring ......John Legend perform this amazing song" if you're out there"

great lyrics..http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2008/cnn.heroes/In alphabetical order, the Top 10 CNN Heroes of 2008 are:Tad Agoglia, Houston, Texas --Agoglia's First Response Team provides immediate help to areas hit by natural disasters. In a little over a year, he and his crew have aided thousands of victims at more than 15 sites across the United States, free of charge.Yohannes Gebregeorgis, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia --Moved by the lack of children's books and low literacy rates in his native Ethiopia, Gebregeorgis established Ethiopia Reads, bringing free public libraries and literacy programs to thousands of Ethiopian children.Carolyn LeCroy, Norfolk, Virginia --After serving time in prison, LeCroy started The Messages Project to help children stay connected with their incarcerated parents. She and volunteer camera crews have taped roughly 3,000 messages from inmates to their children.Anne Mahlum, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania --On her daily morning jogs, Mahlum used to run past homeless men. Today, she's helping to transform lives by running with them, and others as part of her "Back On My Feet" program.Liz McCartney, St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana --McCartney moved to New Orleans to dedicate herself to helping Hurricane Katrina survivors move back into their homes. Her nonprofit St. Bernard Project has rebuilt the homes of more than 120 families for free.Phymean Noun, Toronto, Ontario --Growing up in Cambodia, Noun struggled to complete high school.

Today, her "10,000 Girls" program is helping hundreds of girls succeed in school and run their own businesses."It is very rewarding to be able to honor these amazing, often unheralded individuals who are making a tremendous difference in their communities and beyond," Jim Walton, president of CNN Worldwide, said. "These stories of selfless achievement deserve to be told, and our multiple platforms around the world allow us to do that."

Most days I don't care about my nationality ; however today I'm happy to share something with this man

Posted by Marine on November 28, 2008 at 9:50am

I'm not the kind of person who randomly wishes a public man a happy birthday - well, not anymore. However, I want to celebrate the 100th birthday of Claude Levi-Strauss today. He's one of the few French people worth listening to...and I'm afraid France will be a much darker place when he's gone... Lazy people that we are... Wasn't that what Brel used to say ? That stupid people are in fact lazy ? Ah, so many beautiful thoughts...« Ce que je constate : ce sont les ravages actuels ; c'est la disparition effrayante des espèces vivantes, qu'elles soient végétales ou animales ; et le fait que du fait même de sa densité actuelle, l'espèce humaine vit sous une sorte de régime d'empoisonnement interne - si je puis dire - et je pense au présent et au monde dans lequel je suis en train de finir mon existence. Ce n'est pas un monde que j'aime. »« What I notice are the current ravages ; it's the frightening disappearance of living species, whether vegetable or animal ; and the fact that by the fact itself of its actual density, the human species lives under some kind of self-poisoning regime - so to speak - and I think about the present and about the world in which I am ending my existence. It is not a world that I love.»

Thanksgiving - The Holiday Of Hate

Posted by Vanessa Vasquez on November 27, 2008 at 7:12pm

Thanks to Roxy Loves for the awesome PHOTO!For years PETA and like-minded freak outs have championed the cause of stopping the wholesale slaughter of turkeys on Thanksgiving. SNL even did a skit where a woman sings a song called "Basted in Blood". Being a sensitive, fair-minded conservative I have given these people a nod or two in the form of "I understand what they are thinking." They believe that turkeys are living breathing creatures with feelings and what not and must be protected. I believe that animals are living breathing creatures that taste good with gravy and stuffing. But I do understand their feelings on this score.But I'm not going to blog about Turkey's today, Today I want to talk about the Indians, no not the guys running the Kwik E Mart, the so called "Native Americans" that are all in a huff over there in California. Two elementary schools in Claremont California are trying to continue a 40-year tradition of dressing up as Pilgrims and Indians and having a Thanksgiving parade, and the Injuns don't like it one d*mn bit.I guess it started with one Indian mom (sorry ladies, but I can't help but notice that it is NEVER a man that has a problem, it's ALWAYS a woman - I don't know why, and I'm not saying anything on that score, it just seems to be the case - maybe men are just too d*mn lazy to get off their fat lazy asses and do something about the injustices in the world, ya, I'm sure that's it). Wow, I got off topic there, sorry.OK, so this one Indian mom got all concerned over this tradition where one elementary school would dress up as Pilgrims, and the other would dress up as Indians and then parade back and forth to each other's school and have a big feast. The costumes are all hand made out of paper and crayon, and yes there were many paper headbands with paper feathers sticking up in back. This woman bitched about it and the schools took immediate action by sending a letter to all the parents saying that the parades would continue but that wearing costumes was discouraged. God bless the parents that chose (in large numbers) to ignore this letter. Kids turned out in droves wearing their pilgrim hats and belt buckles, and Indian vests and head bands with the feathers.Now we're talking 5-year olds for the most part here, but yes there was a group of Indians out front with banners and signs with slogans these children could not read because, well, they just can't read yet. I tried like crazy to embed the video but seemed to be having a problem embedding CNN video, but just Google search "Claremont Costume Controversy" and you'll find it. I don't understand this at all. I really don't. The Indians were complaining that this is promoting a stereotype of Native Americans that just isn't true and is insulting to them and their culture.Would they prefer that the kids dress up in wrangler jeans and stumble around with half empty bottles of Wild Turkey Whiskey in their hands? Is that the culture they're trying to protect? Do they want them to dress up as cocktail waitress and black jack dealers with poker chips in their hands? Is that the heritage they're trying to protect? Don't these dumb mother f*ckers understand that the Indians as depicted in the Thanksgiving tradition is the best image they've got?I'm sure I don't know.We (the white man) could have been nicer to the Indians I guess. We could have tried to co-exist with them and help them maintain their culture and such, but we didn't. We drove them out and butchered and raped and introduced disease. We perverted their ways and shoved them into the worse parcels of lands in the U.S.A. I'm not going to apologize for that. I didn't do it. I had nothing to do with it. But white-guilt prevails. We are paying them reparations in the from of government subsidies. We apologize every chance we get. We even minted a coin and are going to mint lots and lots of other coins in their honor.Do we really have to give up the paper headband and feathers? Did the Native Americans wear suits and ties back then or did they weather animal hide for clothes with feathers on their head. I'm confused. Perhaps the Indians could also be a little thankful. I mean, we didn't wipe them out completely, which we easily could have done. They have the right to get married and vote. They can even run casinos in states where gambling is illegal for heaven's sake. We invented the Ford pick-up truck, the Remington Rifle and Whiskey which they seem to love like crazy. I think a little less piss'n and moan'n and little more gratitude is in order.I for one am going to keep the tradition of the Pilgrim-era Indian alive. The image of a primitive yet peaceful and industrious people, willing to share their land and their food and help out the poor out-of-their-element white man as they struggled to establish themselves in a foreign land. My family are going to continue to make paper headbands and feathers, and at dinner today, I'm going to personally thank the Native Americans for their hospitality that first Thanksgiving Day so many years ago.I expressed a lot of hate and hostility in this post which was offensive to some of you. For those of you who are offended, please try to understand it was to make a point. There is far too much hate and misunderstanding in this world. Today of all days we need to put that horsesh*t aside and be thankful for the things we have. We need to be grateful for the progress we've made towards being a more tolerant and enlightened people. We need to pray that we are able to continue at our own pace and ability along this journey in life to becoming better people.Happy Thanksgiving to each and everyone of you.

Many Thanks

Last week my youngest was sick. The only time she wasn't crying was if I was holding her and slow dancing. We danced to there there, lucky, all i need, ect... for several hours. So today I will offer my thanks to Radiohead for the music,my thanks to my wonderful family, and the higher power for the wonderful world. I have much to be thankful for. I offer up a prayer for all others, those in India and around the world, my hope is for everyone to have something to be thankful for.

Today and everyday I am grateful for good health, family, friends, home, a beautiful day, vision to see it and creativity to interpret what is fleeting for us all. I choose to remember the sound of love and peace that measures the weight of all beings on the silence of the ether. Love deserves a name... today I will call it the sound a tree makes when a knot hole reminder is collected from the pause of a forest trail path and placed in a hiker's pocket. Before the journey continues on, after the evening light curves round the shadowed footprints.

Bueno...leí la siguiente cosa:"La realidad es una creación del cerebro..." (que imprudente, dijo "cerebro")Entonces miré por la ventana.Habia sol. Pensé "será que hay sol?...o mi cerebro construye una representación que me hace creer que hay sol?el cerebro de otra persona, representará un día nublado? un día verde? chanchos que vuelan?Lei otra siguiente cosa:"La ilusión es una discrepancia, entre la realidad y lo percibido"Ojo, era el mismo autor...Entonces, como viene la cosa? la realidad es una creación del cerebro, pero, la discrepancia entre lo que se percibe (y que después es procesado por el cerebro) y una supuesta "realidad" (que supuestaemnte era una creación del cerebro), es una Ilusión...(?)que es? realidad, o ilusión?y que es realidad? y que es ilusión?es lo mismo?y si alguien dice que ve gente de color azul (porque, claro, su cerebro representa gente color azul, y que por lo tanto parece pertenecer a la realidad de esta persona)...es ilusión??ah, noeso significa que estáloco

I hate having to work....

Posted by Janie on November 25, 2008 at 6:04pm

I've got all this other stuff to do. At times I wish I still smoked, cause then I wouldn't get as hungry as I do. Or I guess I wouldn't notice it that much. And also the 5 minutes or so it takes to smoke is a nice break. But I just can't do it anymore. I totally want to just have it be like I never smoked at all. OK I'm done about talking about smoking.So I've been playing a lot of Animal Crossing and that has been a lot of fun and relief during the start of the holidays. It's nice to keep myself busy on my days off by playing that game. Maybe that's why I don't have any time. I might be playing the game to much.Damn holidays, it' will make work actually pick up and I might actually have to do overtime. There hasn't been OT since this last March or so. But the money is much needed right now, and I will do as much as I can if it is offerred. I'll be talking to a bunch of upset consumers saying "you ruined my kids Christmas!" and "let me speak to your supervisor!" and "why doesn't the game read in my system" (because the game is in WRONG!)....But in these troubled times, in the US, it's a good feeling that I at least have a job. And reflecting on the holiday of Thanksgiving I'm thankful for having a job. But Thanksgiving is a joke anyways...really we should remember how the colonists ruined this fine land we call America and spread disease to the natives. But at least we get Turkey! (god, i'm really sick and twisted...I won't write what I was thinking next....)

hyper-realism

Inocencia Maldita

A diferencia de los altos funcionarios políticos (conformes con su trayectoria y sueldos), muchos se preguntarán debajo de qué ruinas quedaron las celebraciones de este quince de septiembre, luego del atentado en Morelia. En la celebración anual de independencia de un país que está a la merced de sus medios de comunicación, se asoma el ánimo sensacionalista de conseguir mayor rating, vendiendo el placer de la vida por la contemplación de la muerte.

Por una parte, las políticas de seguridad aplicadas por Felipe Calderón desde el inicio de su gobierno han aumentado el nivel de violencia no sólo en las calles sino en el léxico general de sus declaraciones; en contraparte, los resultados no han sido los más positivos, pues la ola de violencia ha ido en detrimento de la credibilidad en el gobierno y de instituciones como el ejército y la policía, además de generar miedo entre los miembros de la sociedad.

El proyecto de seguridad nacional de Calderón declarada ante los medios considera una simple y llana lucha contra el crimen organizado, sin escatimar en recursos ni consecuencias, mientras que la raíz de estos problemas se encuentra en la historia política de México y en el funcionamiento de su actual economía, sostenida sobre una base de corrupción, vacíos legales y extrañamiento de los derechos civiles.

A pesar de las experiencias que nos da la historia, el gobierno mexicano no toma en cuenta a todos los sectores de la sociedad para generar y aplicar sus nuevas políticas, sino que enfoca su energía en solucionar a priori los problemas que va generando con todo conocimiento de causa. Mientras, los medios de comunicación se encargan de ahondar el abismo entre la información que difunden, lo poco que la población puede alcanzar a ver con eso y las precarias políticas aplicadas por parte de un gobierno que aún manejando fuertes relaciones de poder con el crimen organizado, desconoce las necesidades sociales.

School of life

Posted by Noli me tangere on November 23, 2008 at 9:19pm

October 3rd was officially my first day of work as a pharmacist. Good bye spare time! :lol: But still, I realize now what a road it has been. And that it will be.I know I'm always ranting about the same things, but things didn't change that much, in the end. It will always be a fight to deserve confidence, a fight to have credibility, a fight to not get lost in the new knowledge, to stay up to date and competent. A fight to get some spare time too, because music, family and friends are necessary for my equilibrium. It seems that society and the health system care less than me about these things right now, but I'll always fight to keep that right. I love to help people, to relieve the grief when it's possible, but as a human I must listen to my own limitations. Well! Just a few thoughts I have had since a few weeks... In order to help, the helper must keep an equilibrium, or he will need help as well.Take care of yourselves, you only have one self,Noli :-)
