Reynosa Sunset
Posted on June 28th, 2009 No comments
The sky, coloured slowly, into fascinating reds, orange, and yellow sunlight. We passed the bridge, on our smooth way back, towards nightfall.
The bridge stood the same, as it always has, and the people were still there, selling their corn, selling their drink, selling their lives. Not for better ones.

Loneliness
Posted on June 27th, 2009 No commentsIn a little time I shall be standing there, alone, again. And I will look upon the world as a standing ground, an arena waiting for a battle to be fought. And the battle shall be fought throughout time. The battle shall prove to be merciful, as knowledge can be a weapon that will slash through the fiercest of al enemies.
Alone I shall stand, tall, throughout the years that are pending upon me. And my life shall look grim compared to those colourful ones, nonetheless bright compared to those that are dull.
And the soul will not be lonely, and the heart shan’t be either, nor shall the physical body. The mind, surrounded by metal walls, see-through, but impenetrable. A metal gate that defends all evil, vanity, greed and hatred. A metal wall that not only makes one strong, but invincible.
So I shall be standing there, alone, again.

Are we becoming Robots?
Posted on June 12th, 2009 No commentsI would like to know one thing… Where is our dehumanisation and systematisation leading us to?
This is the world as I see it:
People are tending to flock towards online lives, social networks and chat instead of the telephone, live conversations, excercise and real life.
People are becoming more violent, we are also starting to swear a lot more. A lot of people are losing respect for their elders, siblings and even friends.
People are tending to buy more things every time. Technology has led to more consumer-oriented marketing. A lot of people can’t live without the latest items. Status division is becoming a serious rising issue.
Education is going down. War, greed and control is increasing. A growing percentage feels their life is worthless, boring or monotonous.
Why is all of this happening? How can a few generations change so much the aspect of life itself. Is technology the sole factor in the systematisation of people?
It sickens me. Greed? Envy? Violence? Need for Control? Lack of respect? Murder? Lack of respect? Indiference?
Many of these are claimed to be “natural instincts”. Many think they are embedded in us, as animals we are. But then on the other hand, we claim to be civilised, we claim not to be animals.
So then what are we?! If not animals. We sure act as such.
Our past generations had a greater sense of decency. We are falling fast into constant degradation. I remember in primary school, there seemed to be a constant battle for who was the worst student. The best ones got rocks thrown at.
So as I see it, there are those who strive for knowledge, and there are those who prefer to live indiferent unknowledgeable systematic-consumer lives. By doing so not only are we finishing off with out earth and our resources, but with the little hope for knowledge and progress we have.
Maybe it’s not all our fault, but the education system, the goverment and the social laws and restrictions. But nonetheless, where is our curiosity? Why not leave the box? Why not chose to become aware over staying behind.

Final addition to my Interaction Kit
Posted on June 10th, 2009 No commentsSocial Interaction is just plain beautiful when it is easy to interact, socially.
A few weeks ago I started using ping.fm, a service to update most of your social network status’. I added it as a gadget to my igoogle homepage. It is straight easy to update my status on facebook, twitter, a few of my blogs, google talk, etc.
I had a problem nonetheless. Whenever I made a new blog post on lemiffe.com, the update only got sent to twitter. I am trying out an app I just found, “CR Post to Ping.fm“, hoping that if it works out as expected, it will be the final addition to my social interaction kit. It’s just great, you update all your status’ from one same place. You blog updates that place, therefore updating everything else.
I’m in love with gadgets, widgets and apps.

Swimming Pools and Nosebleeds
Posted on June 10th, 2009 2 commentsI’ve had terrible nosebleeds since a week and a half ago. Every time I sneezed heavily, or I blew my nose, it would start bleeding.
Yesterday I went swimming, thinking it would probably bleed in the water. The interesting thing is that it has been alright since then. I’m not sure if it is the chlorine in the water, or the constant contact, or the change in pressure but something surely triggered a change.
Try it if you ever have this problem.

Fanfarlo
Posted on June 10th, 2009 No commentsGrab Sigur Rós, Amina, The Postal Service and The Faint, put them in a mixer. Will it blend?
The sound of Fanfarlo’s debut album, Reservoir, stands as a more active version than Sigur Rós, a more Rock version than Amina, a more Acoustic version than The Postal Service, with vocals similar to The Faint’s. The music on this album has the same intensity as Sigur Rós’ album “Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust”, nonetheless they mix in a lot more violins and trombones (or trumpets).
It brings forth a rather surreal experience. If you have not heard it yet, get the whole album for $1 at fanfarlo.com.

Voyages p.2
Posted on June 8th, 2009 No commentsI have started a few days ago what shall become a series of voyages before my departure. I’ll be documenting some of my findings during these trips.
The LeMiffe Project gave a free gig on Saturday with a group called Nubia. It was considerably ok, nonetheless I was rather angry at the time of playing. It’s the first time I play on stage in a furious way, and might I say: It came out unexpectedly well.
Could adrenaline and fury be factors of playing better?

Writing Fast Nonsense
Posted on May 10th, 2009 No commentsRunning fast, running from the former bandits, on the coffee ground. Much to — Inspect this element and put your fingers down, my spine, one a night light this.
I can’t get any sleep, and I fought with the enemy within, horseplaying disease, and I’m paying the price of solitude.
So much older, I’m younger than — And I had something to protect, tears of rage, tears of evil.
Pack up your tins, you ain’t going nowhere. Tomorrows the day. As long as it takes to do this, As long as you remain.
Serves you well, this wheel’s on fire, rolling down the road.
