Views on Life

After reading some Rammstein fora (I want a translation (or german lyrics would do too.. I’ll understand, given I can read them) of their new song Amerika.. I think it has a great text but I want to be sure & be able to grasp the totality of the lyrics..) and reactions to them – ppl calling them anti – american & stuff like that, I was once more confirmed in my opinion that Patriotism is a very negative force (so to speak). As is faith by the way. Ofcourse I understand that this is very biased, by wich I mean that it has its positive sides, but the fact that people get driven to violence by those principles..

If patriotism (nationalism) were to be traded for a common understanding that we are one world, one planet – and we re all stuck on it together, the human race would be able to ascend to the next level, beyond pitty wars about whose country or religion or geological position or people are best. Some will say that war is good for economy, but since I researched that this year as a school project I can now say that war is always negative for the participating countries. One way or another, in the long run, the countries lose economically. Lets not forget that human resources (work forces, etc) are an economical factor too! The only way to draw benefit from te war would be to export goods to the countries at war as a third party country, but then again, if we consider the world as a whole, we re just squandering time & resources on pitty conflicts. Some sparked by economical reasons (oil?) but in the end, bad for everyone. Globally an economically suicidal situation.

Patriotism & faith are principles that bring people together in groups that can act against each other, creating reason for conflicts, for war. I’m not saying any of the afore mentioned principles should be banned or whatever, I’m just saying people should know and understand that their actions arent doing any of us any good. Maybe some of us are experiencing short term positive efects, but in the long run, we re all swimming in the shit created by those actions.

Understanding trough intellect..

Instead of agression without thinking!

Romance..

Today realisation finally hit me that romance (true romance) only exists in the minds of writers high on lsd (I say lsd because the probability of people on lsd imagining the existence of something as silly as romance is waaaaay bigger than with any other drug!) Logical solution to this problem would be to find a lsd addicted chick (tough its not certain that she would come up with that crap – lets be honest, the probability of that happening is Sub Atomical!) or become gay & date one of those human lsd wreck writers!

I’ll simply give up on it.. Its more simple and attainable!

Klaus Wunderlich.. Together with John I found some of his music & am now speeding it up I’m curious about the Absolutely WICKED effect that ll give (quite lsd-ish id think..) Anywho, its still gonna take a while since I can listen to it (like 10m) because of me not being able to do one thing at a time! Only to discover in the end I selected the wrong option :/ Grmbl! Ooooooh, We DO have a winner at double pitch tough This is one for the next set YAY

I finished the Twins trilogy (the Dragonlance, Weiss & Hickman thingy) & against common sense started Knight of the Black Rose (A related Ravenloft story)

I vectored the collored parts of my last drawing today, next step is to choose the right collors & texturise the whole thing.. Wich wont take long given I dont screw up the textures, since I did a nice job in naming the whole stuff.. After I texturised, I just need a decent BG so I can post it again as colored deviation and maybe then I’ll use it as a profile pic, with another BG ofcourse but.. I’ll see I’m not there yet! Still have to get the Hammer logo thingy in place! And ofcourse, not to forget, the ever important Shading!! Wich will be a first time too, so :s I’m curious what I’ll use for that one :/ Maybe a special layer of some sort :/ Gonna see that I read some about it first! Saving takes a while tough.. A bit too much layers & vector objects I fear :/ Tough the actual file is only about a megabyte big (in .psp format) PSP tells me its 106.2 MBytes in memory.. 16M collors might be a bit much :/

I was thinking of gimping it next time but after a quick view, I cant really locate the needed tools :/ Maybe I should reinstall Corel Xara (that was a Nice proggy, back in the days) Gonna read me some tracing tuts I think.. I should probably find some @ Dev Art

& all this when I should be studying!

Its not a coincidence I hate the courses I have to do again :/ Math is ok.. But the rest.. Aarghl, I TOROUHLY LOATHE (How does one write “torougly” anyway??)

I updated my IPod soft today.. I just need to plug it into the power suply so it can flash its mem (or so it tells me) & done deal YAY It solves a problem I had with John’s firewire and some unlogical behavior with being locked and unplugging the headphones.. Nice – Yay

I wonder if fruit has her IPod yet..

Anypoop.. Time for me to Go to Bed!! Yeees, Sleep!

Sayonara!

Sleep!

Work was Nice.. I’m 1/4th of my new snowboard & then another day o work for those Nastay Flow bindz YAY Snowboard here I come – Yeah We got lucky this morning when the Sax turned out open at 6 in the morning! I dont think we ll be that lucky every day tough :/

Ieperfest Hardcore.. Ieper is a 1h drive from my place.. I’m still figuring what to do.. I want to go but it d be on my own.. I dont think I know anyone interested to go & available :/ And on friday is my last day @ work and most of all.. Opening night at Decadance.. Wich I cant pass on, might even be piss drunk :/ (likely not tough) So now I’m considering going to work packed for Ieper, then go to Deca and in the morning (like 7-8ish) drive to Ieper, set camp there & sleep then. Another posibility would be to just go on Sunday.. But for some reason I’d rather go both days.. Then there s ofcourse the fact of my herexams.. Hmm… So many things to take into account :/

I feel like telling some about the first time I got drunk.. Its because of Doris’ blog.. First of all.. In belgium, legal drinking age for beer & wine & stuff (not the heavy crap like wodka & shit) is 16 years old.. (wodka & whatever is 18) My first drink was ofcourse beer (we have So Much Different kinds here, its a national drink ) Kriek to be exact, wich is .. eehrm.. kinda cherry beer.. not cherry, but ehrm, I cant think up the right word I drank 5 glasses (5x 25 cl – ehrm.. like 5 coke glasses.. they re about 25 cl) in about an hour and then went home by bike. I got on the back bc one of my friends was on foot & I didnt feel like peddaling (never do btw). All went well untill one moment I realised I was hanging behind the bike, my knees (in jeans) scraping over the road.. A second after I realised, I also realised it might be a nice idea to actually let go, so I did.. After that I got home safely & blah, but the story keeps amusing me & the people present at that time So far my first time aclohol..

At the Calisto, the place we go terracing before work, has a nice blonde girl working there.. stretched earring, labret piercing, .. Looks ok to my taste, sympathetic too.. Yeah, she really improves the Calisto experience LOL!

Did I mention Stitch telling me my dreadz look better than before? YAY!

Cool thing also.. Fruit wants dreadz too Mentioned it to John & he proposed we have another dreadfull BBQ Asin Lotza ppl messing up someone s hair This time we have the up side of having it done already & knowing about dreadz (trust me, they re on my head, I know something about dreadz by now..) Not all ofcourse Continually learning as we all are
