Current LSS :: (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding

got the lyrics here

(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin’ for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside,
There’s one thing I wanna know:
What’s so funny ’bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What’s so funny ’bout peace love & understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
‘Cause each time I feel it slippin’ away, just makes me wanna cry.
What’s so funny ’bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What’s so funny ’bout peace love & understanding?
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
‘Cause each time I feel it slippin’ away, just makes me wanna cry.
What’s so funny ’bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What’s so funny ’bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What’s so funny ’bout peace love & understanding?

Currently Playing::New York Minute

“New York Minute”
Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won’t be down on Wall Street
in the morning
He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfurl
One day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn’t matter anymore
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Things can get pretty strange
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency
Somebody’s going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this world
You better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Things can get a little strange
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
And in these days
When darkness falls early
And people rush home
To the ones they love
You better take a fool’s advice
And take care of your own
One day they’re here;
Next day they’re gone
I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the park
The leaves were falling around me
The groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark,
“Baby, I’ve changed. Please come back.”
What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
The days were so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know there’s somebody somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I have to believe
I believe, I believe
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
You can get out of the rain
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute

Musings 2010 11 03 and Wasted Life Vol 03

  • Need to jot this down before I forget. Instant favorite Scott Pilgrim vs The World!!!!
  • For me it defined a visual style much like Natural Born Killer defined the MTV/Howard Stern 24/7 news cycle was for the early 90’s.
  • I liked it more than 500 days of summer, although this may be because of a more conventional ending.
  • I’m hating on myself right now If as I suspect I wasn’t able to catch this at a movie theater, although It benefits the other people at the movie house that I would probably have less of a physical and auditory reaction than if I would be seeing it for the first time.
  • Edgar Wright was able to make an adaptation to a graphic novel that was not only faithful but actually in my opinion more true to what the original artist envisioned.
  • AWESOME. MUST NOT BE MISSED.

PS: I am silently scared of the day when I will no longer be able to get it. I describe not getting it as what you do not have when you watch the graduate and you weren’t alive or at least was part of that era that was being depicted.
Watch and Reading list for last week.

  • Neon Genesis Evangelion 1st half and Movies
  • The West Wing Season 1
  • How I Met Your Mother
  • Big Bang Theory
  • Community
  • GLEE
  • The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
  • The Colbert Report
  • Cloverfield
  • I was able to catch 2 episode of How To Make It In America. would probably try watching this.
  • Was finally able to finish The Man In The High Castle and it was a great book from one of the masters of fiction.
  • Was able to watch the rally to restore sanity and or fear live through web feed. Loved it.

Musings 2010 10 27 17–H

  • It seems President Noy didn’t declare Nov 2 as a holiday. FAIL.
  • I’ve been out of sorts lately and it just recently came to my attention that Darren Aronofsky is directing Wolverine 2. WOW. I still have problems watching Requiem for a Dream (It depresses me too much, but its), and I still believe that The Fountain was underrated and of course everybody loves “The Wrestler”. I haven’t watched Pi which my sister tells me is very good.
  • The internet connectivity of our office was non-existent since Friday last week. That’s globe’s connectivity reliability for you.  In other words pag may bayantel don’t even think twice.
  • Didn’t like this weeks GLEE episode. Personal reasons.
  • Hope someone does a The Daily Show copycat for the Philippines. Two problems with this, who gets to play Jon Stewart. TV5 needs to do this. One of the revamped shows of TV 5 that I found enjoyable was the show which I forgot the name of which was basically TMZ for politicians. If they can copy something like this they should copy The Daily Show and the Colbert Report.

LSS:: You Don't Know Me

Watched groundhog day again and this song has been inside my head since. Ray Charles has a haunting voice. Its scary how much emotions he packs in such a simple melody.
You Don’t Know Me

You give your hand to me
Then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don’t know me
No, you don’t know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I’m just a friend
That’s all I’ve ever been
‘Cause you don’t know me
I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I’ve let my chance to go by
The chance that you might
Love me, too
You give your hand to me
And then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You’ll never never know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don’t know me
You give your hand to me, baby
Then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
No, no, you’ll never ever know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don’t know me

“You Don’t Know Me”
You give your hand to meThen you say helloI can hardly speakMy heart is beating soAnd anyone can tellYou think you know me wellBut you don’t know me
No, you don’t know the oneWho dreams of you at nightAnd longs to kiss your lipsAnd longs to hold you tightOh I’m just a friendThat’s all I’ve ever been’Cause you don’t know me
I never knewThe art of making loveThough my heart achesWith love for youAfraid and shyI’ve let my chance to go byThe chance that you mightLove me, too
You give your hand to meAnd then you say good-byeI watch you walk awayBeside the lucky guyYou’ll never never knowThe one who loves you soWell, you don’t know me
You give your hand to me, babyThen you say good-byeI watch you walk awayBeside the lucky guyNo, no, you’ll never ever knowThe one who loves you soWell, you don’t know me

Wasted Life Vol 2 2010

Garden slugs got more out of life than you did. +The ghost of christmas past (Scrooged).

Spent at least 2 days on sick leave, sleeping because of fever and coughing.
Cleaned out my feed reader! YEHEY !!!
Really need to learn conversational Japanese if I want to multitask while watching anime.

let me sum this up for you: you don’t know who you are, you don’t know what you want, and you don’t know what the hell is going on! +The ghost of christmas past (Scrooged).



Finished
The Prince of Tennis : National Tournament
The Prince of Tennis : National Tournament Semi Finals

When I want a wife, I’m gonna BUY one! She’s gonna be devoted to me, to my wants and my needs. + Frank (Scrooged)

I really need to file all the great quotes I’ve compiled through watching an insane amount of film and television. Quotations from books are straight forward you just highlight the book and flip through your copy of the book.
UPDATE :
Was able to watch this saturday
  • 28 Weeks Later  – When the individual trumps the group its society that fails
  • You, Me and Dupree – Owen wilson is targeting one type of character and it’s becoming tedious
  • Battle Royale 2 – Whereas the first film is more a commentary on Japanese society the next films .
  • Battle Royale 1 – Social commentary at its best. When you have a median age of 47 and rising every year. Many things have been written about this societal time bomb but it really cant be helped. What Japan is experiencing is what other developed nations will eventually experience.
PS 2: I really must learn to write proper reviews for films.

Experiment of The Day :: People In Doubt Of Their Closely Held Beliefs Advocate Their Beliefs More???

I think this is a perfect post for the Freethinkers page.

Across three experiments, people whose confidence in closely held beliefs was undermined engaged in more advocacy of their beliefs (as measured by both advocacy effort and intention to advocate) than did people whose confidence was not undermined. The effect was attenuated when individuals affirmed their beliefs, and was moderated by both importance of the belief and open-mindedness of a message recipient. These findings not only have implications for the results of Festinger’s seminal study, but also offer new insights into people’s motives for advocating their beliefs.

rePost :: Greg Brillantes calls for more ‘light bringers,’ in whatever language

Great speech with several great lines, from gmatv.net here.

“Seven years ago, being myself afflicted with the GFN Complex, I wrestled with The Language Problem. In what tongue was I to express my Filipino soul? In what language was I to write the GFN that I thought was struggling to get out of my skin? Part of the reason I became a college dropout… was the conviction I had arrived at, that the language of my GFN could never be English. The characters I wanted to write about were people who spoke no English at all, or spoke it only when drunk. How could I make a jeepney driver curse the cop on the corner in English? I wrote about a housemaid once and though the story was accepted for publication in this magazine, Free Press, I thought it was funny to have a maid speak like a Maryknoll coed. None of the attempts made by established writers to render native speech in English could satisfy me.”
“I am talking of course, of the so called lower classes, those who have not had much of an education and can only afford the inexpensive pleasures of Tagalog movies and comic books. Higher up on the social scale. Higher up on the social scale,” said Mr. Lacaba, “one needs English to communicate and these are usually the people who are opposed to Pilipino as the national language, knowing as they do that it endangers their position as the current elite.”
And here is poet, critic, teacher and National Artist Bienvenido Lumbera on the language situation:
“In the bourgeois mind of the power elite, the interests of their small group represent the interests of the entire nation. What is good for their class is good for the entire masses…
“Perhaps the Philippine situation can never be fully understood by someone belonging to the power elite. The Westernization of those who have graduated from the university is practically complete. The students who have learned English easily are the same ones who have quickly embraced the culture embodied by the English language. They are the citizens alienated from their fellow Filipinos because they live in an artificial society, a society built on the principle and objectives imported through the use of English. It is surprising that many intellectuals believe that nationalism and the language problem are separate, that is possible to show concern for the country without supporting Pilipino…

Musings 2010 10 16

This is bad, I’m watching too many things right now.
Finished watching the following this week
Anime Series:

  • Death Note.
  • Nodame Cantabile
  • Hajime Ippo

TV Shows:

  • America’s Best Dance Crew season 5
  • The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (4 a week)

Movies:

  • Ondine

Weekly Shows:

  • Big Bang Theory
  • Community
  • GLEE

The sad thing is I can’t find the time to finish a damn great book, and with the current acquisition rate of 7 books a week I’d be buried in unread books by the end of this year. (note it seems though I didn’t meant it to be this way I’m buying 2 work related , 2 technical non work related,2 non fiction and 1 fiction book in average depending on how many great technical or work related books I can find in used books stores.)
Great finds yesterday:

  • N Gregory Mankiw’s best selling macro economics book 4th Ed
  • A book about Hemingway’s and Fitzgerald’s friendship
  • A book on Hamiltonian Methods in the theory of solitons, whatever that means.
