Greetings Mr. Oracle! I have a question that surged after reading some articles of statements that came from the members. They say that they can't just disappear because they signed for a lot of discs. Does this mean that they're not longer doing this for pleasure, but for accomplishing with a contract? The Oracle replies: They are still as always making music for pleasure. They have been under contract since The Blue Room ep. Record deals tend to cover around 6 album releases and this is the normal period of the initial contract for the majority of recording artists.September 29, 2010 - submitted by Romina, Argentina Q. Hello dear Oracle! This might be funny or might not but all of us had been teenagers or some of us are teenagers now and I was wondering if sometime you cheated on a written test and what ways you used? I prefer to face that horrible F or 1 (in my country) but sometimes I'm desperate and I do it and that sucks :S Wish you the best, besos y abrazos. The Oracle replies: Hand on my heart Romina I have never ever cheated on a test in my life. I'm a great believer in karma (not that I ever see it turn around and bite offenders in the butt) so I always live by the rule that I will do the best that I can; if that's not good enough at least it will be on my own merit (even if that merit isn't all that great!) Studying is hard, retaining information is sometimes hard and applying that to a test under examination nerves is very stressful but a pretty harsh but true statement that I used as a screensaver for years does induce motivation when I need it: Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.September 29, 2010 - submitted by Jane, United States of America Q. Dear Oracle, I hooked up with this guy last week and he was actually nice (though we had just met). Though I initially thought this was so he could get on my good side (if you know what I mean) and was incredibly wary, he was nice afterwards and made it sound like we would see each other again. He even said I could text him during the week since I'd be busy until the weekend. Thinking it wasn't a one night stand, I stupidly had that shred of hope he was different and after texting him, I got no reply and he ignored my phone call. It's been a week and now I feel awful because it's like the trick is on me! How can I get over this because I honestly got the sincere vibe from him. The Oracle replies: Ok Jane, before I get started I need to reiterate a few points that I have previously made for the benefit of you and other readers... Sex is a delicate sometimes taboo subject so I feel the need to make sure that my views come with the strong belief that those taking part are consensual adults who are protecting themselves. I want to handle this sensitively but feel the point here is more about expectation/disappointment as well as a self-esteem issue. I hate to generalize but some males (not all) will do or say almost anything to get girls into bed. What worries most is the language you use to describe this event: "He even said I could text", "I stupidly had that shred of hope", "I feel awful", "a trick on me"... All rather negative and self-deprecating don't you think? Now forgive me for being brutal, but you chose to do this regardless of what you thought may or may not happen next although you admit you were wary. You feel awful because it seems like you have been used and the only way that could happen is if you allowed it to. Don't take all the blame but see your part to play in this; just put it down to experience. Next time, don't do anything you don't want to do or more importantly, anything with consequences that may arise from your actions that you might not be able to handle. Yes I know there are so many situations where the one night turned into a relationship but in this case it didn't but don't feel stupid. The way to get over it is to accept that you acted in good faith but it wasn't reciprocated. What I want you to take from this is a lesson learned; if you value yourself enough and want a guy to do the same, don't put out!September 28, 2010 - submitted by Will, United States of America Q. At the 2003 Grammy Awards, who introduced Coldplay before they performed Politik? The Oracle replies: It was the hugely talented actor (and you may know him from the comedy arena also), John Leguizamo.September 28, 2010 - submitted by Matias, Argentina Q. Dear Oracle, in Ode To Deodorant, Safety and The Blue Room is Bigger Stronger the same version? Thanks so much! You're so cool The Oracle replies: The version on Safety and The Blue Room are both the same yes. Bigger Stronger never appeared alongside Ode to Deodorant on any recording though.^ *crosses fingers and toes* :nice: September 28, 2010 - submitted by Melu, Argentina Q. Phrase: Live every day as if it were the last. What do you think about this idea? Greetings from Argentina! The Oracle replies: There are a few extended versions of that phrase that I think serve perfectly as a blue print for living. Here are a couple: "Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live every day as if it were your last." "You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth." There's another line that's included sometimes that may be a little bit harder to live by but on a deeper level it's wise: "work like you don't need money."
