New Music & Sunshine

Bloodsimple have a song called Whiskey Bent & Hellbound. It's really energetic and suits my mood on a Saturday afternoon, having just cleaned the apartment and with the sun shining.

For anyone who is interested in the Gaza conflict, there is a lot of PR & way more emotional manipulation of the media going on from both sides. Lord Levy absolutley nails the situation better than I ever could.

Also. Whatever happened to earning money? To deserving success? The new film Slumdog millionaire features a main character who tries to win the jackpot to impress a girl. Is this now the accepted way in which we buy attention. Not through strength of character, originality or personality... but by striking it lucky. Fairytales are often more evil than a tragedy, more hollow & utterly soul destroying if followed. People scramble to become a D list celebrity, for some kind of status, to climb the ladder without taking any steps themselves.

Taking shortcuts is the quickest way to short term success. I remember as a 7 year old being asked to play a game where we would bid for what we wanted in our lives. Like an auction for achievement. It was very interesting that everyone spent their money on having money. Leaving me to clean up with a good job, my health & happyness and money to spare.

C'est la vie.
