SWORN TO A GREAT DIVIDE

Ok so its not exactly news that i for one am not in favour of trends of any kind... each one that surfaces, people always jump on it like flies to shit! and those left behind who didn't are the not-so-cool-kids who are the losers because they are not with it. Majority of people are in denial that its mostly trends that are the main focal point in bullying at schools...YEP! don't you deny it! if you're not part of the majority scenes, you get look down on and bullied or worse, beaten... which could easily lead to suicide.
What has to be understood that having a stupid haircut will not bring integrity because all the smiles and pretence will all go away in the end which will leave you with nothing.. because it was never truly about the music was it??? DUH! Some bands out there are so disgusted by this that the only way to not be associated with all this crap is to get heavier... pure and simple! (Id love to meet a scenekid who likes cannibal corpse....id eat my shoe!) This is basically a disease and i cant help but be sickened by it... oh and people tend to wonder why school shootings happen.. well its simple, if those classmates of those lunatics accepted them for who they were no matter how odd or weird they were, lives would've be saved, no doubt about! no maybes about it! i hold the classmates partially responsible for fuelling the hate even more.. pushing those already disturbed kids over the edge all for the sake of groups and trends... and thats still happening as i type this somewhere... and still they still wonder why it happens......... so dumb!
the lyrics below was written by the great Texan band Pantera which was released in 96... but boy are these lyrics so vital and true in this day and age...

*note* if you're offended by the lyrics... it only means that they were directed to you....

*NOTE* I’m not writing this to start any kind of arguments or anything, I’m doing it because one: Freedom of speech and two: this is simply from my point of view, any inept opinion is very unwanted but be my guest… -_-

 

 

 

 

Its been going on for ages but it seems things are getting much worse for the record industry, decades of ‘stealing’ and plundering hard-earned cash from music lovers all over the world by putting up ridiculous prices for CDs has finally caught up with them and now they don’t like it when it happens to them… hypocrites!

 

Technology is the weapon that the music masses are using for this fight and they are winning BIG TIME! You hear stories of people getting sued in the US and are asked to pay millions of dollars that they don’t have, this is the greed of the industry at play here for all to see and hate.

 

It’s very easy for me to imagine middle-aged men in suits planning and clamoring to sue little boys and girls and ruin lives for the sake of songs. Adverts have been published with ‘artists’ complaining about the illegal downloading and how it affects them. The industry is telling people that these artists are the big losers in all this if the downloading continues…

 

BULLS**T!

 

It has been told a thousand times that it’s the industry that are the ones in danger here; artists NEVER truly get the money that they are entitled to, and the ones that are moaning are the ones that NEVER TOUR!! The only money they make is from CD sales, interestingly enough, the most outspoken against piracy tend to be Pop singers because they don’t tour… (Lazy bumholes!)

 

Its very obvious that these so-called artists made a deal with their companies to fleece every penny kids have by setting trends that will make the closed-minded person to go out and purchase only because  their favorite singer told them to, so the singer get their share and the rest goes to the big wigs…. What a plan!

 

I’m glad at least people have caught on to the old forgotten speech about how “piracy funds terrorism”, nobody bought that idea; they really thought people were THAT stupid! LOL also the very idea of suing the same people you are selling thing to is somewhat baffling! They put vulnerable people under pressure to buy their stuff and yet they hunt them like dogs.

 

Consumers are obviously upset with their tactics. Now, another group affected by high CD prices, piracy, and the lawsuits are speaking up. Recording artists are venting their anger with the direction the recording industry has taken.

Here are some quotes from TRUE artists:

 

"Lawsuits on 12-year-old kids for downloading music, duping a mother into paying a $20,000 settlement for her kid?" said rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy. "Those scare tactics are pure Gestapo."

 

"File sharing is a reality, and it would seem that the labels would do well to learn how to incorporate it into their business models somehow," said genre-busting DJ Moby in a post on his Web site. "Record companies suing 12-year-old girls for file sharing is kind of like horse-and-buggy operators suing Henry Ford."

 

Moby and Chuck D are right on the money, and they are part of an industry that has been unable and unwilling to adapt to changes in consumer expectations and buying habits. While the lawsuits fly, the FAKE artists feel the pain of decreased record sales and shrinking royalties. They also dont buy the notion that the companies have their interests at heart as it sues their fans:

 

The record companies did not initiate these lawsuits to defend artists rights, the musicians say, but to protect corporate profits.

 

"For the artists, my ass," said [hard-rock band Disturbed member David] Draiman. "I didnt ask them to protect me, and I dont want their protection."

 

Due to the rise of myspace, bands these days can function very well unsigned, the only way band profit and make money is to tour and sell their merchandise, so you will never lose your favorite band……. Unless they’re manufactured crap!!

So if you love your band and want to show them TRUE support, go see them live and buy a t-shirt… the days of one-hit-wonders from shoddy TV program will shortly come to an end… no more annoying popstars pushing their crotch in your face!!

 I think it’s been well documented that one the most overpopulated countries in the world is china, were couples are encouraged to conceive one child preferably boys which are always favored over girls for one reason or another.

 You’d be surprised to know that their neighboring Japan, are experiencing the exact opposite.

 Over the past few decades, children are short in supply, while the burdensome population of the retirees is increasing with no in sight.

 There is no explanation as to how this came to be, one reason may be that the expensive living costs of today may be putting off couples to conceive so it becomes a personal restriction unlike their neighboring china.

 Furthermore, the technology that was to made Japan superior to the rest of the world and a futuristic paradise of easy living is keeping people alive for inconveniently extended periods.

 Japan’s situation has raised number of issues about the way the world is running in general, it’s possible to consider the possibility that human beings are temporary growths like leaves on trees, fated to fade and die while the real organism, society itself, lives on regardless.

 It’s a provocative and unsettling thought that reduces human beings to consumers and customers, mere cogs in a much larger system that is only interested in them as long as they are productive and the eradication of individuals.

 One of the reasons of Japan’s predicament is obstructive attitude towards immigration; “Japanese-ness” is not a matter of someone’s place of birth or chosen allegiance, but a racially defined characteristic that is all but impossible for a foreigner to acquire.

 Even Koreans who migrated to Japan four generations ago, who severed their ties with their history, are still considered foreigners although it does not affect them financially.

 The only way to solve this issue is for Japan to really open up their borders and invite their Asian counterparts to contribute by not being pressured to migrate to make a real difference.

 Repopulating the youth of Japan would not be an overnight task and at least will not further upset the balance.

In 2001, I was diagnosed with a condition called Asperger syndrome which I was born with but never really thought much about it until things started going downhill for me, the reason why it was a late diagnosis was because mine was quite mild according to the doctor at the time, I got by without any REAL issues compared to standard sufferers who depending on the wide spectrum, need constant care and support to which I was fortunate to not needing it.

I personally didn’t know anything about it and after finding out what it was about, it still doesn’t change anything but it does explain quite a lot of the strange preoccupation throughout my life...

 

GENESIS

Like I said before, extensive research and tests has lead scientists to believe that this is gene based, the common symptoms that contributes to AS is mainly associated with the fathers, I.E. if your dad use to collect stuff, then there is a small chance that the AS offspring will inherit an obsession which will develop fully unless it's caught early and managed.

A child with AS will do things differently and will struggle with the norm which will have a major effect on his/her development of the mind, that’s when the communication bit of learning takes a hit and the consequences are that they won't know what the hell you're talking about and of course, vice versa.

People with AS often have a limited range of intonation; speech may be unusually fast, jerky or loud. Speech may convey a sense of incoherence; the conversational style often includes monologues about topics that bore the listener, fails to provide context for comments, or fails to suppress internal thoughts. Individuals with AS may fail to monitor whether the listener is interested or engaged in the conversation. The speaker's conclusion or point may never be made, and attempts by the listener to elaborate on the speech's content or logic, or to shift to related topics, are often unsuccessful.

 

CAUSE

Abnormal migration of embryonic cells during fetal development may affect the final structure and connectivity of the brain, resulting changes in the neural circuits that control thoughts, so it happens soon just after conception.

 

 

CHARACTERISTICS

A pervasive developmental disorder, Asperger syndrome is distinguished by a pattern of symptoms rather than a single symptom. It is characterised by a significant impairment in social interaction, engaging in restricted patterns of activities and interests, and by no clinically significant delay in cognitive development or general delay in language. Intense preoccupation with a narrow subject, one-sided verbosity, restricted intonation, and motor clumsiness are typical of the condition, but are not required for diagnosis but the lack of good communication is.

My personal interests are pretty much on display on my buzznet page, there are only few things I like but it was only recently that it was pointed out... there are direct links to what I like... patterns that I subconsciously develop and seek for when looking for something and the common theme is anything that's futuristic... which explains why I use to watch films like Terminator and Robocop a hundred times over.   it wasn't the film itself but the visual ideas and aspects of it that was what became my interest... which lead to computer games that where all quite similar and the same genre, friends became fed up with me playing the same type which was really boring for them as you can now imagine. Those ideas and interests became prominent for me as I got older and found more of the same but in different media.

 

CONTACT

Things became somewhat surreal throughout my teenage life, having friends come and go because of the lack of understanding that we both had, most of the time I was too odd and said way too many weird things that would've freaked anyone out, there was a lack of social and emotional reciprocity which didn’t help me out at all in certain situations almost to the point where I even asked myself "how do I feel sorry?" because I really couldn’t so I came across as callous and cold simply because I couldn’t relate. All I had was logic and common sense but that's only good for dealing with computers, not the complexities of people.

 

THE WINNING HAND

So far, it’s been very negative but there are positives to all this... (I will do my best to explain, if you don't understand, I apologies beforehand) things that I would've never known if I wasn't so determined, things I wouldn't have known if my thought process was not so jumbled, looking at things from a different perspective that no one else can has helped a lot, right now I'm getting the best from both worlds, there are more positives then negatives.

 

CONCLUSION

I'm at a stage in my life where I’ve got my grip on things but the truth is this will never go away, I will always struggle with people and understanding in general but the main question is: would I ever wish to get rid of this condition of mine if I had the choice? and every time, the answer would be NO!....... this is part of what made me be me today, it had a major role in building my actual self, removing it would be to remove my heart... it's here to stay.

Ascension of the Watchers, are a dream come true — literally.

The musical vibe, artwork and title for the band's full-length debut all stemmed from a dream Bell had in 2000. In it, he was traveling over vast expanses of land and came to a clearing, where he saw a burning tree. The branches were silhouetted against the bright sky and Bell was struck with a sense of peace and awe. Then, he realized someone was behind him, but when he turned around, he woke up.

The musical vibe, artwork and title for the band's full-length debut all stemmed from a dream Bell had in 2000. In it, he was traveling over vast expanses of land and came to a clearing, where he saw a burning tree. The branches were silhouetted against the bright sky and Bell was struck with a sense of peace and awe. Then, he realized someone was behind him, but when he turned around, he woke up.

Unable to shake the dream from his mind, the singer discussed the imagery with a friend, who is an expert in dream analysis, and she told him that he had experienced a numinosum, a term famous psychologist Carl Jung used to refer to a mystical or religious experience that occurs outside oneself.

"That dream has stayed with me and inspired me, and I think the creation of this record has been truly a dream experience for me," Bell said. "I've always felt my dreams are pretty much reality. I wake up exhausted because they're so intense."

With roots in spirituality and surreal dreams, it's no surprise that Ascension of the Watchers' Numinosum, which comes out February 19, isn't a blazing metal album. Rather, the songs are melancholy and atmospheric, resembling '80s and '90s goth-rock bands such as the Mission UK, Swans, Fields of the Nephilim and Pornography-era Cure.

If it sounds like Bell is pushing Ascension pretty hard, it's because he's got a lot on the line. Sure, the album is one of the priorities of Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen's new label, 13th Planet Records. Yeah, Bell really wants to establish himself as something other than a singer. But there are other, more important things on Bell's mind, including his mental well-being — and maybe even his immortal soul.

"Basically, these are my songs of repentance for God to hear and forgive me so I can get to heaven," he explained. "To me, these are my true confessions. I don't go to church, so I can't confess that way, but in the past I hurt a lot of people, and for that I'm truly sorry."
Bell started writing his new confessional songs in 2002. Stressed out and on the verge of a breakdown, he left Los Angeles and traveled to Pennsylvania to work with former FF touring keyboardist John Bechdel. The two named the group "The Watchers" after angels who breed with men in the "Book of Enoch," a story from the Dead Sea Scrolls, which some believe predate the Bible. Later, a cease-and-desist order from a Chicago band called "The Watchers" prompted the extension of the group's name. In 2003, Bell and Bechdel recorded a demo and started shopping it around but were unable to drum up any label interest. So, Bell released the EP Iconoclast on his own, and started selling the disc on his Web site in 2005.

The next year, he recruited Still Life Decay guitarist Edu Mussi, and the band embarked on a short East Coast tour. Its big break came after Bechdel — who had worked with Jourgensen since the band's 2006 album, Rio Grande Blood — told Bell that the Ministry mainman was launching 13th Planet. Intrigued, Bell called Jourgensen and wound up offering his services to Ministry's The Last Sucker, which came out last year.

"Ministry was one of my favorite bands of all time," Bell said. "So I said, 'Al, lemme be on your record. I work cheap.' And he said, 'OK, come on down to Texas.' While I was down there working on the record, we started talking about 13th Planet, and that's how it all came together. We developed a real mutual respect for each other."
First, Bell leant vocals to The Last Sucker tracks "End of Days Pt. 1" and "End of Days Pt. 2." Then, Jourgensen started producing tracks for Numinosum, which features re-recorded versions of the five songs from Iconoclast, six new songs and a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sounds of Silence."

"Not only is Al one of my musical heroes, I've enjoyed his mixing and producing abilities throughout his history," Bell said. "So, to be there with Al sitting in the back of the room saying, 'Try this,' or, 'Try that,' was amazing. I learned a lot from that guy. I was living at his house while we were recording, and I got to feel like part of the family."

"I found the text below somewhere and apparantly it has something to do with track 11 from 'the end of all things to come' album by mudvayne, really strange but interesting..."                  linchpin          

The very idea of a stand alone complex is an interesting concept as it means to conceive a copy from an original source that never physically existed therefore being unique in everyway.

This concept I believe, can be applied to human beings in spiritually and mentally in the way they grow into becoming their own and how they are influenced by the littlest of things such as words, ideas or events that shape and form them as a person.

The process of becoming an authentic individual can be hindered and compromised by for example, living the life of another, idol worship, imitating, belonging and being subjected and submitting to constant discontent t from non- individually minded people.

It’s safe to say that an individual could not live in a close knitted community due to differences in perspectives on conformity and personal liberty.

Individualists believe that the way to maximize human freedom and happiness is to abolish the very ideas of involuntary relationships, organizations and institutions, they believe that all people should be free to choose with whom they associate, what kind of work they do, where they want to live and what kinds of recreations in which to engage.

The one and only limit to someone’s freedom of action should be the equal freedom of others to live their lives unmolested.

In other words, the area in which someone may freely swing their arm ends where the nose of another person begins.

Individualists see no need for committees, councils or other standing bodies to oversee the day-to-day relationships of people, the equilibrium that’s already in place and generated by the social and economic interactions of free individuals would produce all the structure necessary to sustain community life.

The very thought of walking groups of free spirits in any place strikes deep fear into the hearts those who cannot seem to read them, they see them as unpredictable beings so therefore are automatically labeled dangerous all because of the unknown of who they truly are.

There are times when an individual will do something others will not be happy about, not necessarily  a transgression of a sort but i.e. will be compelled to disobey, not to displease, not to cause distress but all in the name of self- preservation… looking after the actual self.

Another major no-no is patriotism, there will always be a time when a patriot’s loyalty will be questioned in a time when his or her country is on the verge of committing an act which that person may feel they do not relate to but pressure from fellow patriots will indeed be too much for any to refuse and resist or they face exile from the fold and live as outcasts on the back of the society they once truly and blindly believed in.

It’s basically all about living without the need of others to give approval that your life is worth something or not, such dependence is very dangerous and worrying as it can lead to certain death if one is very docile.

Inept opinions are those which are not welcomed because there is an undercurrent of malign and defamation that usually runs within them to mainly try and bring you down to those people’s much abhorrent and repugnant level that they want the world to be in.

Individualists argue that the initiation of force is always unjust, and that groups of people are entitled to no more freedom of action then are individuals.

Activities that are unacceptable when engaged by one person always tend to be tolerated engaged by a group of people which pretty much shows that one person can never carry the voices of a thousand.

It must be said that being an individual comes with baggage and not all is what it seems, apart from the usual disagreements with the rest of the planet about pretty much everything, the feature  beneath shows the highs and lows, the good and the bad, the plus and minus of being one and it comes with a price.

It all began one night in grebe where I resided for a while and late that night in the darkness of my chamber of isolation, I was listening to the radio 1 rock show with Mary–Anne Hobbs playing the usual typical generic rock/metal tunes through my little portable radio which rested in my sink for extra bass as it had none … I was kind of bored so I decided to do some spring cleaning even though the place was kind of immaculate and then all of a sudden there it was… straight after the song that was playing, IT came on; I stopped what I was doing and sat on the edge of my bed and listened carefully to every detail of what I was hearing.

This, it turns out to be, is exactly what I’ve always dreamed of, what I always wanted to hear, what I always wanted to make but did not have the means nor the knowledge that was necessary to do it.

This is the kind of music that has finally ignited something within me that was kind of always there, almost in a cryogenic state but needed the catalyst to set things in motion.

As I sat there in the dark with my jaw miraculously touching my knees, the song finished and Mary-Anne gave the name of the band, the song and the album which it was lifted from, I quickly switched on the lights to look for pen and paper while repeating the details to myself so that I don’t forget it, the band’s name was Fear factory and the name of the song was Shock from which the album it came from was called Obsolete and as soon as I wrote the details down, I knew that from that moment onwards my life was about to take a different direction, one that was going to be exciting, challenging and rewarding all at the same time.

The next day came and as soon as I had the opportunity to use the phone, I called my beloved brother to get me this album and send it to me A.S.A.P!!!

In the mean time, a few weeks before that day, I purchased a cheap but simple CD player from my local shop so all I was hoping for was that the batteries don’t run out as the album was about to arrive within the next two days.

So I waited a painstaking three days until it came and there it was… the ‘Obsolete’ album, I rushed it out of its security seal and placed it in my CD player and the opening track was ‘Shock’

which was great because I wanted to hear that one first in digital quality as opposed to that of the puny pathetic little disposable  radio that I first heard it from.

The song starts and I am as excited as a new born because it was the most beautiful and terrifying sound I have ever heard and was wandering why this took so long to find me.

All was going well until a few seconds into the song the batteries ran out, panic and horror ensued to the point where I had ask people that I knew if they had spare batteries as I did not have any change on me to purchase replacements.

Four frustrating days went by with no hope of finding any until the day I got paid which I bought ten batteries because I already knew that I would be somehow contingent on those headphones of mine for the rest of week.

As I listened the album, I realized that it was a concept album and that there was a story within it that ran through the music, the story was to be followed via the booklet it came with and that the songs were either scenes or an introduction to characters and events.

The genre of the story is at best described as ‘Cyberpunk’ which is a sub-genre of science fiction in general which was originally first coined back in 1983 by the author and novelist Mr William Gibson with one of the groundbreaking and influential book ‘Neuromancer’.

Like the ‘Obsolete’ story, most Cyberpunk themes tends to take place in a very distant future where the writer has free will to explore and toy with  impossible  ideas of what could be considered as unrealistic and sometimes unfathomable.

Going back to Fear factory, the next opus they released was not a concept LP but one that explored digital mortality,

meaning if people just memories that could be transferred from one shell to another which would mean that there would be no lifespan on an individual i.e. to age or deteriorate thus achieving the inevitable gift of immortality.

After getting the ‘Digimortal’ album, I was compelled to explore the back catalogue of FF and I found ‘Demanufacture’, a prominent release which came out before ‘Obsolete’ and this one carried a more harsher industrial type of sound that was raw and mechanical, and in that album that I found what I would consider and describe as the perfect, all-round and well assembled song of all time like every other songs in the world should be put together, that song is called ‘Self bias resistor’ and according to the singer Burton C. Bell, it’s a rebel song where the weak has to, in this case, stand against  mental erasure and expurgation by the powers that be because of small differences of opinions on what the individual is made of and the way he or she thinks and therefore resistance of all kinds of psychological and physical incursion  means a full on war of attrition would be  inevitable from the transgressors, the ones in charge that supposedly look after your well being… a slight touch upon reality there … eh?

i know im a bit behind (almost 10 years!!!) bt i recently got hold of the neon genesis evangelion boxset and the movies that were issued to correct the original ending which was just ot of this world and i must say after sitting throgh 16 or so hours of the damn thing i was amazed but also left confused to what actually happens in the end.
like i said, two seperate movies were released to explain the ending of the series but that was not enough so they are planning to release TWO more movies again but i dought it will get the fans anywhere near the director was trying to convey.
the concept and ideology of evangelion is the most fascinating aspect of it, especially the embryo of adam and the crucified shell beneath the city.
with almost every character having some sort of mental issues, that just does not help them fight off the 16 angels that will come to pass.
i have never seen a franchise so underground and yet massive among anime fans, nothing like it outhere and it's safe to say that there will never be!
if you get the slightest chance to see this masterpiece of a film, you will not be disappointed (apart with the ending for not understanding it) miss this this at your peril!

hello evry1, im tring to find the time to update and respond to all u guys and girls who added me and for that i thank u and i will sit down one of these days and do everything including posting journals and pics. speak to you soon xxx
