ONE LOVE [F]

•February 14, 2014 • Leave a Comment

There are approximately 7.046 billion emotional human beings in the world with the population forever waxing and waning in the bonds of human folly and life expectancies. We meet people every day, every month, every year and sometimes along the way we make special connections with people from all walks of life and generations. When we ignore the serendipitous nature of those connections we become memories and soon after strangers in the eyes of each another. It sucks when this happens. Many feel the burden of loss more than most, even the simplest dialogue or passing glance can weigh heavy on the mind. Being ignored and missing someone are two terrible feelings, feelings we run and hide from behind our ignorance of how interesting, special and unique each and every person truly is — a simple fact of human nature that we so easily forget; faded truths, shrouded among the simulations of our own personal realities. We are all the same — unique, emotional human beings.

Does true love exist? Is there such a thing as a soulmate? Unequivocally yes! If you believe there is. Of the infinite thoughts and feelings I have for each individual I have ever known and ever will, there is only one who I want. That one exception among many who will literally mean the world to me. To be for and have. If soulmates do exist then it takes an adventurous heart to discover them, not just fortunate happenstance. I choose to believe that I am here because I belong to someone, because if I am loved, then my existence is justified and she is all who I will ever want to belong to for the rest of my life. One to love and be loved by is all any one really needs. You are not alone. This isn’t mindless dribble, its simple logic. The probability of finding that one someone to love in this vast variety of peoples living their lives somewhere here on Earth is exceptionally high. Earth is a small world after all (not to mention years of genetic evolution and sexual selection is on our side.) I believe that recognition and acknowledgment of the presence of someone’s love is the first key step in achieving it for ourselves. Love is real and the only thing worth chasing and fighting for, so believe that you are unique and made for love and you may just find someone who feels the same way. Be true to yourself and never pass up an invitation to get to know someone; it may just be the only true gift we have to give one another in this life.

Happy Valentines Day. I hope you attract to you the incarnation of your desires.

Wampire “The Hearse” [music video]

•February 11, 2014 • Leave a Comment

Excellent synth, and the cinematographer managed to recreate a real 80s B-movie horror aesthetic that compliments the song so well — I love it:

Love triumphs in the end, aye. I didn’t understand the first watch through, but now I gather that the girl was used as bait to lure the real bad guy back to his own lair of sadism.

Celebrities Read Mean Tweets #6

•February 7, 2014 • Leave a Comment

Some people are cruel and write very harsh things to celebrities on Twitter. What you don’t see when you send a nasty tweet is that it can cause pain. So to raise awareness, and hopefully make people think twice before they post something awful, we’ve once again assembled a group of famous faces to remind everyone that words hurt.

Great Scene from “ROCKY III”

•February 5, 2014 • Leave a Comment

Was house sitting for Tim today, so while I was on the couch servicing a saxophone I switched on the television, naturally. First time I saw the ROCKY films was years ago with my dad during several daytime screenings, but I forgot why I thought highly of them. People love a good comeback story. Awesome montages work too. The third installment has one scene in particular that sets it aside from the others and it’s not carried on the shoulders of Rocky, but his wife Adrian Pennino, played by Talia Shire. She gives an excellent performance getting through to Rocky, whose mental anguish over his trainer’s death has effected his will to fight. Nothing like a woman’s strength:

And then follows the awesome montage:

Mmm, thighs. I don’t understand why the world doesn’t unanimously love Sylvester Stallone, he’s awesome! The man not only starred as some of the most iconic characters ever portrayed on-screen, he also wrote, produced and directed them all. His talents are completely underrated in my opinion. Good scene though right?

Post-doctoral, Reece Roberts of the School of Psychology at the University of Auckland, is looking for participants for a fMRI study investigating memory and imagination. Dude let me crash at his and Sox’s place on several occasions back in 2008, and more recently, Reece tied the knot with said significant other last September, so I can assure you that your brain will be in safe handling conditions.

Are You a Child of the 90s (or 80s) [adverts]

•February 3, 2014 • Leave a Comment

“You grew up. So did we. Reconnect with the new Internet Explorer.”

Y-e-a-h that’s not gonna happen. Nice advert though; I miss caps and floppy disks. I don’t know why advertisers do these nostalgic, life affirming monologue commercials and then drop the product placement at the end thinking this style of marketing works on people (assuming people are like me). It’s a put off is what it is. Appraising my memories to make a profit, tisk tisk. I mean sometimes it works, but they ought to know that Internet Explorer has never been in the same league as Hungry Hungry Hippos. If anything, when I was on the net in the 90s I was using Napster and most likely looking at girls on Hot or Not when no one was home — Hey now there’s your target demographic, dial-up porn surfers.

This is how you do it, take notes:
