What’s with the new digs?

I heard a song on my way home today, it was that song we all had heard by Wham! (George Michael), Careless Whisper.

I had to do a google search to find out who had done the cover…

It turns out it was Seether… A irrevelent band that hasn’t put out a song I could name…

You will hear that the song is much better as its original…

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cover… i.e. J.J. Cale songs by Eric Clapton, we all know which ones those were… Damn, those were good covers…

So I did some thinking and did a search on the interweb… Here are some things I learned…

Cum on feel the noise, was originally done by a band named Slade, a band in which I had purchased thier album just had no time to listen to as of yet…

Damn these guys were awesome! I should really listen to my records once in a while….

Anyway, Cum on Feel the Noise was originally released in 1973 and re done by Quiet Riot in 1983…

Then you have Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On… Big Maybelle…

We know who this was covered by…. BTW I love this version so much better than the covers so I am not going to look them up…

And of course… Quinn the Eskimo….

The GREAT Bob Dylan…

But Manfred Mann did this best! So much groovier!!!!

Speaking of Manfred Mann….

Blinded by the Light… A cover of Bruce’s song….

Bruce has written a number of great songs…

Because the night was written by the boss and sung by Patti Smith (The ORIGINAL punk goddess) Anyone that sings a song called Rock and Roll Nigga on the same album as Because the night… has some serious balls…

Natalie merchant covered this song… (Because the night)

and the boss covered it as well…

Patti did it better…

Anyway, If I were to have a point in all of this… It would be that there are many ways to play notes… We call them songs… some redone are excellent… some should be left alone… It should never be left to the record executives to make that choice…

i.e. Seether…

Wow its been a minute

Been so busy at the grind… Need to get more news up on the posts… Come back… I haven’t totally dissapeared yet…

Funny that…

So today I was reading along peacefully and I ran across an article about Natalie Holloway. Don’t tell me you haven’t heard of her. The white girl that went missing in the Caribbean.

They say they have another witness that has come forward to say that van der Sloot told them he had something to do with her disappearance.

Has no one seen the True Hollywood story yet?

Any guesses why this man has not been put away?

His father is Dutch monarchy… or some sort of thing… Funny how the rich ones always get away…

And you thought you were more than a tool… HA!

I was reading along this morning, the usual yahoo news. I stumbled across this article. It seems the Australian government is not at all being shy about its genetic preferences.

They allow the man to move his entire family to the country to heal the people and then deny permanent residency because of the child having down syndrome.

Did you realize this happens every day in every “country” in the world. Its about who you know. I have met people that spent years getting a Visa to come to the US, and were only successful after “donating to decision makers’ personal bank accounts”

I guess that man should have stayed home…

But seriously. This all comes back to eugenics. But the beauty of this happening publicly is that as more people in the society believe the reasons of “tax drain”. What a bunch of BS.

The more we accept claims the government has our well being in mind, the more they will take away from us. As we sit back and allow this to happen, we are giving up any “freedom” we may have thought we had…

Eugenics look it up.

WHO WHO WHO… Wants to be a canceraire?

•October 27, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Got damn I love the WHO almost as much as I love the band… It turns out that more people die from heart disease, infectious diseases and cancer, more than all other deaths…

And I was just talking about something similar today with a coworker. I was telling her how, a few weeks ago, I was talking with a cousin of mine and she was telling me that modern medicine was good because people live longer. I of course argued that there is no proof that medicine makes everyone on earth live longer, in fact, I believe there is more evidence to the contrary. For instance, my father. He was diagnosed with Congestive heart failure about eight years ago. Since then he has nearly died twice, lost incredible amounts of weight and is basically limited to eating carrots for sustenance. The losing weight isn’t the worst part as he now has developed diabetes. Diabetes brought on by his heart medications.

Of course the doctors deny this is the reason. But strangely no one in his family has ever had diabetes. Cancer. But no diabetes.

So where am I going with this afternoon rant?

How is modern medicine such a good thing when the largest industry in the US is health care? If everyone is better why are they taking so much medicine? Is there a cure?

My mom and I were talking yesterday. She was concerned about the recent radiation test her doctor recommended, and subsequently submitted to taking. Her concern was that she will now get cancer. It was then I asked her how many people in her family have had cancer. She thought for a moment… and she came up with one aunt (by marriage).

I tried to make her feel better by explaining she most likely will not get cancer from this treatment as her genetics and upbringing built a strong body. All well water, all home raised meats and produce, my mom is born to a long LONG line of farmers.

My dad was an army brat, an identical twin, and traveled the world eating nothing but military rations and taking military medicines.

All of my fathers family that have passed away have died of some sort of cancer or disease.

Building blocks.

You are what you eat is more than eating what THEY feed you in the supermarkets.

It is more than adding color to your plate or eating your radiated lettuce…

It is real ingredients that have been yielded by hard work, and homegrown heirloom and organic seed.

Wait an Island formed naturally off the coast of Iceland. In 1960… Awesome!

I wonder though why no humans are allowed to access it. The name of the island is Surtsey

I became interested in this island by reading an article about natural world wonders protected by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)

I don’t want to sound like an anti-worldite, but seriously… Seems more like they have someone else’s interest in mind. Why else preserve so many pristine world sites? Perhaps after a nuclear holocaust or health holocaust the world leaders will have a healthy and safe harbor?

What do I base this on?

Absolutely nothing but my gut feeling.

I think they missed the point…

You should check out You-tube, they have the series called “Hip-Hop vs. America” up for viewing, nicely edited without commercials.

I am talking about this since much of the time during the show is about how hip-hop is ruining america… Its pretty funny to me. I think it is more than, you watch a Nelly video and you will know you are only worth what you look like.

This song is pretty damn funny… “I need a tip drill” “Spread my pimp juice”

Why do people get so worked up about this shit.

Oh yeah its because parents have neglected in teaching their children, they leave it up to “teachers” and the television. Seriously, I made it through the entire tip drill and not once did I think I needed to change anything about myself, I did not feel like an object, but I have deviated from my original point.

In my opinion the real problem with hip-hop (or Hip-Pop as my hunny lovingly calls it) is the same problem with anything played on the radio, it is played in efforts to dumb down society.

Have you heard that song above? Stronger, by Kanye West. He uses the same simple words over and over. In fact he rhymes right with right. I do not want to take away from the fact the song has a great beat. In fact this is why he is able to get away with this shit.

The man responsible for those beats was not Kanye, although he is a great beat maker, it was timbaland.

The song above is called, “The Way I Are”, does no one else have a problem with this crap. The way I are, sounds like someone is either retarded or is trying to make something rhyme. I think it is both personally. But I also do not think this is a coincidence.

Why you may ask? Great beats hook your attention, it is hard even for me not to pay attention. This is the greatest means of brainwashing available. Things that get said in songs get said in conversation. This is true for all forms of music, they have been saying for years that women should listen to classical music when pregnant, why? Because the music hooks the infants attention.

Music is not responsible for the dumbing down of the world, but when used in combination with television, education (schools), generally media, it is definitely a proud player.

During the war soldiers have admitting to listening to Drowning Pool’s “Bodies”. Some play it as they are rolling up on a dangerous town.

“Let the bodies hit the floor” it even sounds like a march. It drowns out your thoughts, and gets your blood pressure going.

I could go on and on. I only want to encourage you to think about what you are listening to, how it affects your mood, and if you have children, how it might affect them.

Now I am off to listen to some more music :)

“Rhythm is life, and life is rhythm” The great Warren G, as seen below… Enjoy…

What is the world coming to these days?

I was browsing around the interweb this morn, and stumbled across this article. Apparently someone is getting sued for leaving negative feedback on eBay. Wow, you gots to be kidding me!

I love how very much people rely on this system that they believe was built for us, my arse! I am so seriously here folks.

Just the other day Yahoo was slathered with articles about a woman in Japan that was arrested for virtually slaying her husband. While the actual charges were different, the fact that she is in jail for a cyber crime!

Did any of you see the Minority Report?

We Like To Get Messed Up and Do Messed Up Things…

Another sleepless morning as I roll around for about an hour before finally rolling out of bed. Its 4am and I don’t know where my head is or if my refrigerator is running. Does anyone have Prince Albert in a can? If so please tell him Rapunzel has let down her hair…

Well, I spent the last 3 hours staring at my SO wondering if he was making himself sleep. Oh, and reading various articles on the interweb. I have discovered much to tell…But I will start with this small tale…

One of my searches lead me to this Dietary Supplement Fact Sheet and then on to this website Nutrition Data

#1 Why is most of the food listed pre-made and packaged? It would appear that the only source of B-12 is through fortification or supplements.

#2 Why can’t they just say that to get B-12 without the use of artificial additives, you will need to eat meats and shellfish?

Doesn’t it make you wonder? If they are as necessary as the GOV makes out?  Maybe its more poison than good? And if it is not, why don’t they teach people how they are synthesized in the body. So you would know that an abundance of Folic Acid can mask B12 deficiency…

I don’t know but If the GOV has something to do with it, it can’t be good. Now go and let Prince Albert out..
