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 :D (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 :D This is one for the next set :D 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 :D (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 :D 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!

Tuesday, August 24, 2004

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 :D LOL!

Did I mention Stitch telling me my dreadz look better than before? :D YAY!
Cool thing also.. Fruit wants dreadz too :D Mentioned it to John & he proposed we have another dreadfull BBQ :D Asin Lotza ppl messing up someone s hair :D 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

OMG - My CAT is going INSANE in the MEMBRANE

I almost lost this post! I had it typed & .. the blogger java crap almost messed it up! Fuckin Crap! Blogger + java + linux + Firefox = unhappy ME! Ive had Ff crash 3 times already on different posts! Agonising! Aarghl

I discovered a new cool Blog :) Its called "I think I'm in Love: Random thoughts that were never said" by Doris A Really new blog, but it seems nice :) (and no I'm not a pedo altough I do come from Belgium, am 22 and Doris is 16.. These days one cant state enough.. I do not like girls under 19!)

And now I'm going to post this shit before crap crashes again! Grmbl! I hate having to retype posts! But Firefox seems to have trouble with the Blogger interface or whatever..

The TIME for change is nearing with every breath I take.. Exilliarating isnt it :D Lol

Day at work
I was too early to leave today.. meaning I was there an hour early, screwing up my time sense, whatnot. We did have a nice terace session!

There was a cricket on my car today.. The poor thing even stayed on at 120 Km / H! Evil animal! Was doing its sound I think.. A Death Symphony.. I mean, that thing cant survive such speeds! It was getting on my nerves too, so I gave it a chance to leave (actually pulled over on the freeway) but it didnt seem to want to leave. So I used the window wipe thingy.. but it still stuck, but in the end.. I just did a 100 Km/H and used the wipers & .. It flew.. Still, Poor thing!

Starting studying today.. ehrm.. technically today, Tomorow by my book, asin after I slept..

Finished part two of the Dragonlance trilogy I'm reading & am now reading Tokyo by Mo Hayder. Its nice.. Nicely written too!

My IPod is GREAT.. Still .. evil .. if I think about how much it cost!

Bla Bla Bla! :) *hmmmm...*

I wore my hair in a double knot today, works quite nice :) Its really tight, keeps it all together :)

Snowboard Snowboard Snowboard!
I'm looking forward to having my Snowboard :D
I kinda decided I wanna do the Josk course again! I feel like it :D
YEAH
Snowboard Snowboard Snowboard!

Im forgetting something but I'll think of it .. some time :D

Sunday, August 15, 2004

Everyone Deserves Music!

I went to buy my IPod today :)

40G, 4th Gen (the one with the mini ipod clickwheel.. thats 4th, no? The newest anyhow :D)

And after some clicking around I managed to get it working (had to fuckin Windows Update tough :/)
So I did the test :D And what could be more appropriate than Michael Franti & Spearheads "Everyone deserves Music"!! :D

Great stuff!
