My name is Rob and I am a musician living in Vancouver.

This thread is for people who are hopelessly addicted to the music of Coldplay. It's a place where you can give the rest of us, "your take" on what matters in life today, or maybe you just want to say something about anything going on...out there.

 

My first post on this website will be to say a word or two about my favourite band. I first saw Coldplay live at GM place on 17/01/05 (?) which was coincidentally the 250 anniversary of either Motzarts birth or death. I love Motzart and alot of other amazing talent both past and living, but this Coldplay are for me fairly close to the pinnicle of human creative potential. I f Angels have ears, they hear Coldplay.

 

Coldplay are a testament to the power of developing your own God given talent (it helps if you have a bit). I am so touched by so many of their songs. Touch me where I live, in the heart. I'm just learning to do that with my music, and it's a so very moving and beautiful experience to be touched or to touch anohters heart through music.

 

What this world needs is a change of heart. This human race has to start caring for itself, one another and the planet, in no particular order. We are so close to the brink now both socially and environmentally it scares the living shit out of me, and I am not a scientist.

 

The Artcic is melting 35 years ahead of the best super-computer models ever devised. Oops, I guess we "screwed up" say the crowd who run the world? What does this all have to do with the music of Coldplay?

 

Everything and more. It's about having a passion for life, and the ceaselessly devastating beauty and wonder of this bliding reality we call life, and the physical cosmos within which we exsist. It's about caring for yourself and all life in this world. It's about shouting out agianst the evil and greed of mankind. It's about changing your heart.

 

I have been so inspired by Coldplay. My early life was an emotional trainwreck and it's only in the past 10 years that my heart has come back to life, and only in the last three have I seriously dedicated myself to music, guitar and keyboards. And that is pretty much a result of the creative work this band has done. For me it is a miracle to be able to realize my dream of developing my own talent and I will for ever be grateful for their inspiration.

 

And it's not just the over-all emotional feeling / impact a particualer tune has on me but it is everything in a song. I become lost in everyone of their songs, and everytime i hear it, i like it more? The emotional impact these songs pack is ugh... beyond description?

 

Chris said of the show I was at; without exception, the fans on this tour (X&Y) have been exceptional, but some nights the roof just gets blown off the stadium, and the last 2 nights in Vancouver were that. I agree.

 

I just saw them at Pemberton BC Can and was 25M dead center stage for the entire show, on a field in the mountains at dusk. Seeing them live those two times has given me enough spiritual energy to continue my own musical journey and it is one amazing experience.

 

Music is the language of the heart, it is the language of God in Creation. It is the language of the God who dwells in your own heart. And in that heart is a place where all things cease to exsits yet from which, all creation comes.

 

I was once looking up at the stars and thought: if the Creator of this universe meant to create a perfect finite representation of something which is infinite, then this life and reality would be it, right? We wake up from our dreams every morning, we pee, we eat, we work and we cry every day, each one just a slighly different version of the day before, and we do it all in the hand of God but are never aware of that presence.

 

Never before in the history of man have so many people been so alienated from themselves and from so many others. We think we can play the same olds cards to fix the world today... but the end-game is upon us... now.

 

My point is, music has the power to change peoples hearts, like personal tradgedy will change your heart. And hopefully people will start to realize that we exsist as a part of Creation, and not the owners of Creation.

 

Maybe then they might start to see the beuty in everything. The crazy part is, if God is everywhere, then that means God exsists inside of you. Regardless of your religion. When they find the beatuy particle, they will have found the God particle.

 

I just hope it's not too late to save this world because we have treated it like trash and then walked all over it for good measure. Good luck egh? I guess that's why I spend so much time listening to Coldplay and hours on my own buried in headphones, guitars and keybord... it's a scary world out there and I feel peace when I do the above.

 

Stay Well, Rob

 

 

And all that exsists, it shines for you and you alone

I must say that's the most dramatic entry into a forum I've seen in a long while...I mean that in a generally positive way.

This is a first post everyone should see.

 

Bravo, and welcome friend.:)

That was really good....I like the part about how "If Angels had ears"....It's so true!!!

I love Coldplay to!!!!

They are my life...and they make my day everyday!!!

That is absolutely beautiful.. and 110% true :cry::)

And so I wonder.

 

I remember about ten years ago Dr David Suziki (Canadian biologist) was giving his two bits worth at a land developement meeting outside Vancouver where he was an invited speaker.

 

After talking about the genral impact of the land developement he gave an analogy about mans awareness and the environment. He said that if you take a frog and chuck it into a pot of boiling water, the frog jumps out and lives. But if you put the same frog in a pot of tepid water and gradually turn up the heat, the frog boils to death. The point being, who's to say mankind will notice the end comming?

 

About twenty years ago (1988) NASA scientist James Hansen (who is now director of The Goddard Space Institue / part of nasa) gave a speech outlinging to the US Congress a climate sceario very mush like today. Only with a few minor errors, like the fact that the actic ice cap is melting 35 years ahead of predictions. 35 years?

 

Greenland is also going rapidly as are massive ice shelves in the southern polar seas. And, odd as it may seem, the world temperature actually dropped .75 degrees last year. It wiped out the heat gains for the last hundred years. Maybe the world will get colder from now on?

Scientist know from ice core stidies that an ice age can come on in as little as ten years.

 

Is there a reason why millions cubic kilometres of water is frozen solid on this world? I guess wea re going to find out soon egh?

 

I personally am optimistic about my own life and my own happiness, but when it comes to having any faith in polititians to save this world... excuse me while I barf.

 

Like Chris Martin says in Violet Hill "when the futures architechtured by a carnival of idiots on show...". It really freaks the shit out of how completely unaware so many people and politicians are about the severity of this issue.

 

I think that part of the problem with man and the state of imabalnce we persist in is that we take life for granted. If you take life for granted then not much of anything has any value because everything only exsits for you to exploit for your own gain. Sound familiar?

 

This world is not "like" a life support sytem floating in space, it "is" a life creation system floating in space. Some scientist studied the planetary evoltion of earth and figured out that if any of a million separate phenoenom had been just slightly different, life as we know it would not have been poosible. Everything exsists only so that life may manifest?

 

I feel myself that this world is actually a divine creation and everything in it is also divine. But it can also be the worst hell you ever woke up to. It's all a matter of choice. Life is a school where we learn to crawl on the highway of love. And where the proud and arrogant are brought to their knees oneday.

 

I just hope we make it. Everything in the world now seems so dark. So much greed and mistrust. So much alienation. And these young kids in the Middle-east who are just without hope and whose only goal in life is to become a human bomb?

 

If ever there was a time in the history of this planet for a God conscious person to manifest in this world, the time is now. To me it is like this, most people think they are in control of their life. We are "in control" up to the second we die, at least that IS the illusion.

 

Well that's my bit for today. In the music we are one. And in oneness are we found.

 

 

Rob In the fog in Vancouver.

 

 

in time we bend

in time we are made to understand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It really is "such a perfect day". Everyday.

Hello Rob in Vancouver!

It heartens me to hear of your compassion and thoughts, and the depth of your perception of our collective disconnect. I feel roughly the same, as it seems we have lost the governor on the engine of humanity, and are over-speeding the engine, now ready to blow apart. We've set up this horse race, and we humans have become the horses in the race, most with blinders on. And myopia sets in with little time to see ahead or to the sides, and get a sense of proportion. I saw David Suzuki's presentation on Public Broadcasting a while back, and I'm impressed with his perception of what is happening as well.

Compassion and relations take time to build, and reflection that's essential to clearer thinking gets lost in the daily shuffle. I thought to myself as well about how we haven't the same level of appreciation, and are gambling everything today like it's all just a game. But not all is lost. I'm hoping, given the current crisis, that we'll return to our rootedness, and complete where we left off in 1976, for a sustainable, stable, and more satisfying world, sans the excess ego and hubris. It's been my passion for a long time to see a better future, and be a part of that change as well.

Glad you could join in!

With Solidarity,

-Chuck.

That it does

 

Yes, there is no fate for us

Only those who are swallowed by

Ignorance and fear and miss a step

Fall into the rapid river called Fate

 

Fate and Destiny can be changed

You just have to change

Hopefully addicted to Coldplay :flutterby: thanks for the spiritual philosophical kick in the eye

On a Clear Day...

 

You really can see for ever. At least that's what I experience when I look out at this world.

 

This world really is the jewlel of creation, it's God's own fractal if you will. People who cannot see the beauty and wonder that exsist in themselves, and in this infinte world are doomed to suffer.

 

Einstien once said that if you take the inverse square of a pumkin, multiply that by three dead nuns, and cross reference that data with the inverse co-efiicient for the touch particle, you will know God. (said not)

 

Einstien said: A human has only one paramount question to answer in his life above all others and that is; "do I live in a loving universe or do I live in a threatening universe?" So much of the world today is in the latter category, and they feel their survival is threatened by others.

 

Just who are those billions of "others"? (And this is my own experince.) Tell me who or what is looking out of my eyes at you and who or what is looking out of your eyes at me? Who or what put the image of a human face, not a dog or a cat, but a human face, on a rock we call the moon, floating up in the nightsky like best magic there ever was? And who or what is it looking out of the eyes of a cat looking at the moon?

 

Who or what can create the perfect illusion of something which is infinte and imbue that three dimensional creation with all aspects of the infinte?

 

To me God is in everyone and thing. So if I understand that God to be the God of love then I'm not feeling threatened all the time. Sound a little too pot and sixties for you? Go ckeck out a website called david wolfram.com. this guy has discovered the code of creation.

 

Like research into fractal exsistence andl geometry led to amazing product applications this guy has discovered that a few very simple combinations of simple systems has led to creatiion as we know it. I guess if fractals were dubbed"the thumbprint of God", then what Wolfram has discovered may be the "breath of

 

My point is that we are all the same and to live anything less is to be sleepwalking through life. And when you are sleep walking through life you are sure to make a few mistakes. Why is decades of murder blood and war something that we, as part of Gods creation must live through?

 

Why, maybe because this world is one of countless billions where creatures like us learn ro crawl from the shores of hell to the land of tomorrow. What and where is the land of tomorrow? We learn to love instead of hate. It's like spiritual kindergarten.

 

 

It is in the smile of a young child.

 

It is in the melting of a snowflke

 

It is the face behind all faces

 

It is what you have always wanted and more

 

 

It is a world where people love and care for one another just becuase that's what you do. Like water flows downstrem. But I think we have a way to go yet. In the meantime we can always get high on great music. Music is a good way to rise above the scary vibe this world of man is generating right now.

 

I guess it will all work out in the end but what a ride it's goiung to be. Look at the madness now in the world economy. The horsemen of choas have arrived.

 

In the end we are brought to our knees to understand. Until then we are asleep in a dream on a river called life. Some people dream they could live their lives over because they have caused so much suffering in this world. They feel remorse at the end of their life.

 

And some people cry in the middle of the night because they are lonely and without hope or love. You have to work at life, you have to somehow everyday get a little closer to the harmony that rules creation. You have to somehow get closer to who what your real nature is and that will set you free. Follow you inner voice, becuse your hearet is always connected tyo God, wherer as if you listen to your brain, well... look around at the world today.

 

Anyway, I have to play some guitar and am seeing Cherly Crow on Saturday at GM place here in Vancouver, CanadAs taser capital, "how may we taser you toda?"

 

 

rOB IN THE fOG IN gOD

 

I listen to music (right) while I do this and sometimes smoke a bit of pot so if I sound like I am in another world, I am.

 

maybe if you say it you will mean it and when yo find it you will keep it in a permanent state.

 

The music of Coldplay will forever be in my heart.

Deep thread.

 

This deserves honourary mentionz.

ever been to church of chris martin?

....*giggles*

Epiphany quote : And some people cry in the middle of the night because they are lonely and without hope or love.

You have to work at life, you have to somehow everyday get a little closer to the harmony that rules creation. You have to somehow get closer to who what your real nature is and that will set you free. Follow you inner voice, because your heart is always connected to God, wherer as if you listen to your brain, well... look around at the world today.

 

This is what we can learn with meditation techniques, and my teachers dont smoke pot :flutterby:

i.e how to be in a state of full life experience, which is love energy. It does take work sometimes to plug into it. But that is what we must look for in order to be able to achieve anything. Music, and particularly Coldplay's, is definetely a step towards. And I dont smoke pot either. Just had to struggle a lot before getting the hints. Those hints are everywhere if we want to look, even in some grandmas' sayings like "charity starts at home" etc. If you want to change the world, start with yourself. Wisdom is at hand and harmony. We need to want it. :flutterby:

Well Epiphany got me going it seems :D

That quote is kinda lame cuz some people never know where to start etc etc

 

so yea

 

*stops crapping all over thread*

What are they doing?

 

Do you ever get the feeling that the world financial system is about as sound as a leaky row-boat? And being manned by a crew of green Troglodites?

 

It's like this: me and nine friends decide to be banks and all our friends are going to be the public. We hand out monopoly money amongst ourselves and all agree to a common fixed value for it. Then we lend out this "credit" with you the public making regualr payments in "cash". I guess it all works as long as the ability to pay is equal to or greater than the interest owed... on the credit bubble . Credit anyone? Monopoly anyone?

 

I know it's not really how the world economy works, but they may as well give my plan a shot as the current mess is really a very silly joke. What a stupid way to run an economy. Banks don't "feel" like lending to each other because they may just kiss their cash goodbye if they lend it out? Economic terroroism you say? Not possible? Just watch the mess unwind from this latest case of "let the free market crash off another mountain cliff and take the entire world with it". Another gold star for humankind, completely avoidable suffering on a world scale... again.

 

Is there hope for the human race? Seriously, do we deserve this world, do we really deserve this world? Look what we do to it and each other, look at the past hundred years, what on earth is it all about? WW1,WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, the 2 Gulf Wars, and countless thousands of regional conflicts. For what, securitiy? I am sorry, security is an internal state of being, not the result of conflict. More like for greed and power. Welcome to hell ladies and gentlemen, welcome to hell. Hell on earth, the ultimate paradox, the divine paradox.

 

A carnival of idiots? That just about describes the competancy level of the people running things you might say. I am grateful for the fact that I am a musician and have a way to escape and express myself and experience satisfaction from something that has it's source,,, inside of me? Where materiality ends is where satisfaction and harmony begins.

 

How can I accept someone else if I am at war with myself? How can you trust others if you do not trust yourself? If you look at it from that perspective, it does seem a little bit of a hopeless situation, how will the world learn kindness? A hokey concept you might say? What is the alternative, perpetual hell on earth, at least in the world of man?

 

There are so many miserable peole out there, alienated from themselves and one another. and now the once firm ground beneath them is beginning to tremble.

 

Maybe the God of this universe is about to give us the big shakedown. You walk all over my creation and trash it just so you can be wealthy and have power, well walk on this humanity.

There are already food crop failures happening throughout the world because of too much rain water on the crops. Maybe it's nothing or maybe it's just the start.

 

I just get spooked by the awareness level or lack of it from so called leaders. Look where "they" just "led" the world? Can I be a leader too Santa?

 

Good luck egh?

 

And yes I have been to the Church. I believe that Chris Martin did create this universe, before he started to learn music.

 

Rob

 

 

ps: is Chris Martin really the present day incarnation of Motzart and Shakespeare? Or is he just a regular person like you or me? Together these guys really are something else, no one part is greater than the other, it just looks that way sometimes.

 

 

 

when angels walk with men

will time begin again

and all things shall come to pass

which bring good things to be.

Oh they're something else alright

You don't have to put on faces when you die

 

I went to my mothers furneral yesterday and came up with that line on the ferry back from Vancouver Island today. I won't get into any details but it was more than sad.

 

Life is too short to go around being anything other who you are. I remember once watching this show on some Renoir peice and the subject was, the faces in the crowd, every expression imaginable. He captured a lot of emotion.

 

Compare that to the crowd you see on the street today. Any emotion anyone? So many people have this paralytical look of chronic emptiness syndrome (that's what I call it) all over them, yet they try to come off as "cool" or "happy". All the unhappiness money can buy.

 

Anyway, I was with my mother when she died so that was beautiful. The moment she died, I kid you not, the song "Speed of Sound " came on. I thought that was kinda nice. I am running on empty now and am bigining to bore myself.

 

 

One thing I really am dying to know: Does Chris Martin smoke pot? I don't think so. You cannot reach that degree of musical perfection and be stoned, I think. Not?

 

 

Rob

I have to admit, I listen to so much Coldplay music that I now think in Coldplay.

 

And I was explaining to my partner today that what they have mastered is the art of self expression.

 

The self of beauty, wonder and hope is present in every note they play. Their music has really helped me to deal with my mothers death. They push my emotional buttons like no other artist, which I know is why they are so huge. The Beatles had the same power. I saw Cherly Crow recently and she has the power.

 

We all have the power inside us. The power is what created this cosmos and gave itself life in human form. At least that is what I believe. And that is not pot speaking either. That is a conclusion I have come to based on my experience / feel in my heart.

 

Maybe I have spent to many hours plugged into my Korg Triton / Vox Tonelab with headphones on lost inside, and my brain has turned into sine wave heavan.

 

I am reading a book entilted "this is your brain on music" and it turns out that when you are listening to music that you really love, your entire brain goes into synaptic overdirive. It turns out that our brains just can't get enough of the experience we call music.

And it's been happening since before the first sunrise on this world and way pre dates the invention of money. Music is the language of God. Literally.

 

I mean have you ever had a close look at a fractal? Infinite variations on the same thing, and each fractal is infinitly different from every other fractal? Whether one looks inside physical reality, like they are with the giant gizmotron in Switzerland now or out into the universe, they can find no end, because reality has no end and is always in a state of beginning. What they know is that reality is made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies. Sounds like music to me?

 

With this collider they have built (Switzerland) they will be able to (theoretically) go back to within 10 to the minus whatever seconds into the creation of the universe. If we ever get a grasp of the physics involved in how those energies behave on this plane of reality then you can expect pigs to fly the day after that.

 

The world of man is just so crazy upside down now it is scary. Do most people live to eat or do most people eat to live (in the west / in the third world that would be an insulting question). And those quirky pranksters on wall street have all been bankrolled with fresh monopoly money from the public. What a joke.

 

The best news I've heard yet is that Ecuador has granted human constitutional righs to the envirnment so that if you want to take a corporation to court for poluting a river say, you don't have to prove they damged your propoerty by the river etc. All you have to do is go to the law and say they a poluting the river.

 

Why is this most lucid and beautiful concept not enshrined in every western democracy's natioanal constitution? That is a good question becsause this is the ultimate no brainer. What is the value of the environment?

 

What is the value of one grain of sand? What is the value of one tear drop? What is the value of your life, of my life, of every life of every being that has ever exsisted in this world and every other world in this cosmos and beyond for evermore?

 

There are those who say not a lot. which is the world today, sadly.

 

The world of "man" just seems so primitive to me, and I am no saint either, but at least I don't go around hurting others and this world. I guess the future will be what it is going to be and we will all see how close we have come to the edge of complete castastrophe in the natural world.

 

Good luck egh. We are all on the "Ship of Fools", and we don't even know.

 

 

We are all, lost in Nirvana, looking for a miracle

 

In the meantime, I will listen to Coldplay

Musical religions eh

My Time With Coldplay

 

I know you are supposed to do this at the " the concert thread" but hey, I have a thread here that will do just fine, inside a perfectly straight line (copcp). Can we be frank here? Everything I say here is what i feel in my heart. (that line played on headphones a split second after I typed out the first part, and that is serendipity).

 

I had the opportunity to see Coldplay this year at Pemberton BC Canada, which is located north of Vancouver, up in the Coastal Mountain range. It is a glacial plain up in the mountains. That was the backdrop, behind your shoulder looking up the valley to the north and the twilight all around. They came on around nine thirty and all hell broke loose. Chris God and the Three Angels were very up to it that night.

 

I was about fifty feet dead centre stage on the ground in front and you could almost reach out and touch them, much like they reach out and touch the hearts of every single soul in a stadium filled with hundreds of thousands of people, to refine your craft to the point where you have the power to reach out like they do is what I call art made in heaven, it could only be, art made in heaven.

 

The jumbo screen gave a perfect shot of His Majesty, The Lord of Chris. Chris Martin's face is that of a man possessed. Possessed of such intense creativity and passion he is clearly completely lost in what he does, completely lost in the intensity of his own being. Together they produce (which are for me some of the most powerful and beautiful songs / ballads ever put down. You want to "feel it", well, feel this, feel Coldplay. Feel like you will never feel before.

 

And really, without Guy, Jonny and Will, there is no Coldplay, so I just hyperbolize a bit there with His Tooneyness, the keyboard player. I am a musician myself and I have on occasion (on purpose / with headphones) followed the guitar line or base or drums and they are all exceptional musicians. Including the singer.

 

Seriously, a concert is a communion of souls, that is my take on a concert. At least it should be. And there are so many different kinds of music in the world, but what kind gives maximum emotional impact with the possibility of a live show? Pop music of course. Through time many people with a little talent, really worked at it, and the result is history. From Motzart to Lennon to Coldplay, it's all the same song, just a different singer and the tune keeps on changing but forever remaining the same. We are all one in the heart.

 

I get such a lift of inspiration from these guys that I cannot really put into words how much they have inspired me. I get so lost in their music, I am consumed by the beauty and emotion of it. Their music is nothing less than perfect beauty.

 

These times we live in have to be some of the most kreepy times this world will ever see. We will be lucky if any of us or your children survive long enough in a world which is pretty close to the edge of catastrophic systems shutdown. You do not want to experience that, believe me, that will be scary if that happens. Forget about the environmental meltdown factor, they are already rioting in China over "lost jobs". You want a roller coaster ride, you want to see a story unfold on this planet now which not even Shakespeare could have dreamt up? It will happen, the future will unfold just like yesterday is gone.

 

If ever this planet needed divine intervention, right about now would be good.

 

The purpose of art is to touch your heart. No heart, no art. It's like how do you know for sure when you burn your hand, it hurts like shit. Same thing here with Coldplay, these four have the power to touch a heart and countless millions around the world, and that is really cool. Being in "the groove" of Coldplay is to be in a place of restful emotive beauty. And on occasion, a place of cryingful emotive beauty?.

 

I listen to them on headphones when I make dinner and can't ever remember making the dinner.

 

I think when I get some more cash I'm going to try the google ticket add for Coldplay tickets. That would be cool, travel to London and see Coldplay.

 

It's as though I was reading a story so bizarre and unbelievable, which I awoke to one day, many years ago and have been living the part ever since, but I forget from where is my beginning. In darkness there is light, and in the light is Coldplay. In the light are Coldplay.

 

 

So that is some of how I feel about this group. In this world so dark now, we are so lucky to have this music we are so blessed to see them live. That is the jewel of creation, to see the best live. This cosmos has many strange and wonderful things within it and Coldplay are one of them.

 

 

LOST IN THE FEELING

FOREVER AND FOREVER

LOST IN A FEELING

 

THAT IS MY FATE

TO BE LOST FOREVER

TO BE LOST IN A FEELING

Stop the movie, I want to get off

 

So I look out on the world now and have to wonder, is anyone on first? You know the old Abbot and Costello baseball routine, where one guy says "Hoo's on second" and the other guy hears, "who is on second?".

 

Take for example this recent miscalculation called the "Global Financial Disaster Part Whatever". The mini caption / headline (Globe and Mail) over Allan Greenspan's image says "I still do not fully understand how this could happen".

 

Well that's just swell Mr Greenspan, everything is magically all as it was just the day before everything started to unwind. I think Mr Greenspan had a few too many scotches with his cigars he always smoked, which in turn killed off so many brain cells that he was in fact reduced to the intelligence level of a complete moron. How else do you explain the completely idiotic and presumptuous belief that if one just leaves the banks completely unfettered, their survival instinct will prevent them from acting in too risky a manner. Wrong.

 

Take for example the derivatives market (CBC/The National/24/10/08). It started out under Greenspan as a vehicle for (i guess) money with nothing better to do than to BET on the rise and fall in prices on anything pretty well. Only somewhere along the line the actual paper value of the market became 580 trillion dollars. Turns out that not only did this gigantic paper house of wealth not only dwarf the total value of the real world economy, it also far exceeded the total value of all the currencies in the world, or something very close to that.

 

One day the sun rises in the east and the next day in the west? I am reminded of the times that I have witnessed accidents, or been in an earthquake, the shock of the fracture in reality. The level of fraud and malfeasance on the part of companies like Standard and Poors is truly *American. It turns out that many of the people who officially graded debt for the investment market (an oxymoron) also swapped emails made public by Congress which said "I hope we are all rich and gone by the time this house of cards tumbles down".

 

Are we all having a collective bad dream here or have a bunch of arrogant idiots just about crashed the entire world economy, with who knows what to come? And it scares the shit out of me because many "politicians", the people "in charge" of this sinking ship, are just as messed up as your average human being, maybe drink too much at the wrong time, and really don't have a clue about how to just go about "putting all the kings men back together again", deary.

 

This recent economic disaster is really nothing more than a real world metaphor for the aimlessness and emptiness of mankind. Notice I did not say spiritual emptiness? Hey, if you feel empty, that is spiritual enough . Maybe it is only in human form that a spirit can feel empty. Maybe too feel completely empty is too be so close to God that you don't even know it! There is only one law in this world and that is: Don't vote Republican.

 

I gotta go.

 

*I am just as happy as the next person we are not all Goose Stepping, Dancing the Goebbels Fox Trott, and eating Swastika Sandwiches for lunch. Thank you dearly America for your blood. Let's just get on with making the world a really great place for everyone.

McCain and Palin...

 

Who needs Halloween with candidates like this running for president of that fabled and mythical kingdom we all love and know as America?

 

Do either of them have anything positive to say about anything or are they just so bitter and unhappy that all they can do is, do everyone in the world a dis-service by spreading lies and slander about Obama? Hell hath no fury like empty, frightened, rich people.

 

Republicans are so primitive, they put the "me in greed". It's really quite a story and it started with Karl Rove and the practice he got in pure hell Nazi-style propaganda when he ran Bush for Texas Governor. When push came to shove against incumbent Ann Edwards, they started floating rumours and stories that she was surrounded by gays in the bureaucracy (women in particular, Anne Edwards was then single or widowed?).

 

The gist being, by making people believe something that was completely a lie, George Bush won his first term as Texas Governor, and the world has been living with the consequences of that Nazi-style slur, which got them to power, ever since. When idiots run the wolrd....

 

Gorge Bush is the moron president who was run by people who were so bloated in their self importance that they mistook their own ignorance for wisdom. Iraq? How do you create "democracy" in a world where the dominant "religion" precludes the existence of another form of power, religious or secular, greater than itself? Democratize? Who? And then blend this ideology with guns, power over women and drug money, and you only have a very small part of the picture of what this culture is all about. But then maybe they just did go for the oil?

 

Who knows, George Bush smiles all the while he is lying. Can you imagine Sarah Palin as President? The tone of her voice is bad enough. She is, so very very petulant, she should be named Sarah Petulance.

 

Gotta go, life is scary, but don't worry... it gets much worse.

 

Music is the temple of my soul

Thank You Islam?

 

I am not racist or "anti religion". But this story was just in the news tonight.

 

A young girl in Ethiopia was initially raped by some one. Her father went to the police for help and she ends up being charged with "adultery" and is sentenced to death by stoning.

 

Yes you heard right. A woman is raped. She goes to the police for help. She is charged with adultery. and she is sentenced to death by stoning.

 

She was marched into a stadium and stoned to death by men.

 

What planet are we on, what age is it and does anybody give a fuck? I cannot believe the barbarity and the complete inhumanity man can inflict upon man, all in the name of God.

 

The God of what, hell? Fucking hell? In the name of God? And does your God also eat children for breakfast? The only logical explanation I can come up with is that this is all a dream, and one day when I die, this will all end, and I will "wake up", somewhere, where I know they don't stone you to death for the "crime" of being "raped". That could only happen in a dream world.

 

It's as though some people are actually living a stone age existence, in the current time frame.

 

The human race is so lost, so very lost. We are about to discover the power which created the cosmos (with the Swiss gizmotron / if they get it working right), and then we are going to take that knowledge and make a better bomb? Probably.

 

And I guess that is why I love the Music of Coldplay so much. Such a personal, heartfelt statement about life and all it is and can be. I get so angry about the injustice in the world. I guess I should get off my butt and do something about it.

 

In the mean time, can you spare a stone?

 

 

I am sure that somewhere in this universe there are worlds in various forms of "prehistoric history", complete with all the most fantastic real life science fiction landscapes the human mind could ever not dream up. And I am sure there are many worlds in the state of "ancient civilizations", the "middle ages", and "modern times". And in each word the story is always the same from age to age. When will the suffering an injustice end?

 

When will mankind stop inflicting pain upon other humans? When pigs fly? Sometimes I think that when you here about this shit out of Eithiopia today. And I know cruelty has no religious, cultural, political or ethnic boundaries.

 

In the end we are all the dead Jews lying at the bottom a of a pit, and we are also the soldiers above who killed them. What is the point of it all? Answer that and you have spoken with God.

 

Maybe it is that only in human form is it possible to experience the sensation of complete loss or real happiness. Maybe only in this river of blood and lost lives can the meaning of creation be found and experienced. Maybe only on this plane of exsistence can one feel God.

 

This just in: McCain wins in a landslide, immediately dies of a stroke, Palin is assassinated as she is sworn in and Arnold Shwartsenagger has seized control of the white house and decreed himself Supreme World Leader.

 

By for now.

 

 

 

The sun was gold today

It was such a beautiful world today
