Two Worlds

Heavy metal or alternative.... hmmm, I've been thinking a lot of days and nights (no, no I'm not that jobless) and I gotta say I like both. Always did.

I mean I still love so many Creed songs. I loved playing "Hold me now... I"m six feet...." a week back. It felt nice. Heavy metal. Damn. Playing iron man is such an awesome feeling. I love it.

Why do people have to hate one. At least most people here. Is it to pretend to be cool or some shit? I certainly don't get it. Most people go heavy metal through alternative. It's sad if people hate it cause they wanna pretend. Sad to say, but that's just denying what rock n roll stands for. I believe it's about being true to yourself more than anything else.

So if you hate it cause someone "cooler" hates it. Well go shoot yourself without wasting time. Your a poser. Your being dishonest to yourself for crying out loud. SO please the next time you hear alternative, psychedelic or anything else, give it a very good listen before you say anything. SAY NO TO BEING A DUMBASS.

A fling with a dash of love?

So, I assume everyone who reads this has fallen out of love, screwed up their love life or done things of that sort. If not, well, ermmmm, this is going to be a bit harsh.Well, maybe not.

Serious relationship. A big no no. Unless your purpose is to live the "get married and have kids" dream (referred to as GMaHK dream from here on). Since most of the people actually believe that is the purpose in their lives. The ultimate joy. The dream. Yes, I'm rolling my eyes as well, since I tend to puke when I think of this. The bulk of the human civilization contributes to evolution, by reproduction??? Maybe that's why it's said that only some people are born to be great. Those few good men, who thought otherwise (Thank god).

Maybe as its said, since the process of natural selection is ruled out of the human race, the gene pool is getting weaker. (You certainly notice that the gene pool is getting dumber, when you drive around Colombo during the rush hour).

Maybe it's me. But the whole GMaHK dream sounds very boring to me. Maybe I'm just young, naive and stupid (This is what older, married people use as a counter argument, how CREATIVE). I feel that my purpose in life is much greater than that. I hope I'm talented enough to enter that group of few good men mentioned above. Then again I believe in hard work. Talent is just plain dumb luck. Come on. Edison failed 10,000 times when trying to create the light bulb. You'd be called untalented if you failed for about 10 times. I mean, think about it. Its perseverance, isn't it? Not giving a fuck about what others say and going on achieving your dreams.

So my sense of direction is that, I'm young, naive and stupid. Let's have fun. Let's not get into anything serious and tie ourselves down. Let's not give into tradition and all that goes along with it. Let's just have fun. Enjoy Life (As the infamous quote goes, : Fuck today, Die tomorrow, No regrets). And of course, let's have a fling with a dash of love? Why a dash, well at least, to pretend it's personal, to pretend that some bond exists. But I warn you, just a dash, nothing more and (for completion's sake) nothing less.

minutes to murder

Ever wondered how you felt, when you know your going to go to die. Imagine a guy with a .45 barrel down his throat, that split second before he knows its really gonna damn hurt. Yeah... I hope I don't go through that. But I know I will when the time comes.

Its amazing what we would do, to avoid pain. But thinking about it, isn't it amazing what we would do knowing that we are gonna get damn hurt. Why do we do it? Is it to prove that we are strong, or maybe it's just to prove that we can do it. Or maybe its just to feel alive. To hear a voice, to realize a dream. Oh damn, I could come with a million suggestions, and someone out there can relate to at least one of them. Why do we do it? I ask again.

Its almost time. And I'm going to do it again. I fuckin dunno. Maybe it's just because, I should be nice. To make up for past blunders I guess. I simply don't have a reason. My brain doesn't seem to be working these days, specially when it needs to run at full throttle. I think it's just to be nice. I'm not evil. And I don't want to be. At least not to people who don't deserve it.

Confused. I think that's an understatement. There should be another word for this. I think someone on crack would feel better than this. Oh well, it's time. So let's get it over with.

Bang.

Don't get lost in the hype

The hype builds. The competition starts. A winner is born. The world revolves. We who have been subject to this wonderful hype have noticed, (and I'm sure many people would agree here) that it dies down as fast as it comes up. You're hot and what not, and in a flash, your just a speck in history. It has been seen, it has been heard and it has been witnessed.

Do we follow it up with creation that wow the world? Only time will tell. Or are we just helping those worthwhile sponsors in cutting their budget? I'm sure that many of us know the answer. It takes hell of a lot more than talent to make history, or actually be noticed in it. You're the best one day, and it'll be a matter of time till someone else breaks that. But hey, they can be proud, they pushed themselves to make it. Nothing comes out of the box. Nothing happens unless you make it happen. And everyone who can, will stomp you down to get on top of you.

Then, we eventually come down to the boilerplate question, how do we do it? I think any fool, (or a smart ass) can answer that. Hard work and having some good fortune up your sleeve. A famous band, (shoot yourself if you don't know) said it's 40% music and 60% marketing. They couldn't be more truthful if they tried.

So the next time you want to whine around, complain and start blaming the people for having bad taste (oh yeah, we all can relate to that one) ask yourself, have you done what it takes, have you given what it takes, have you sacrificed all you can and more. Well if you did, you'd be up there playing at Wembley, with thousands cheering on. Oh, and if you didn't, well then, you never really tried.
