I wanted to get the waterproof mascara because I cry so often but she told me not to get it because I wouldn’t need it unless I plan to walk through the rain or something so I got the regular but now I’m regretting it

You get this lonely and it’s all you can do not to

“…so complex, changing, alive; the love ebbs and flows, it sprang from nothing, a barren place, and sometimes, at bleak moments, it seems to retreat to it.
But then it’s back. Fuller. Faster.”

maybe one day.

“… and when I am seized at last
and rolled in one grinding race
of dreams, pain, memories, love and grief,
from which no hand will save me,
the peace of this day will shine
like light on the face of the waters
that bear me away for ever.“

I want a day like that.

So lonely.

“Science refuses to admit any cause except first cause – knock down one domino, the one next to it also falls. But when it comes to human beings, the only type of cause that matters is final cause, the purpose. What a person had in mind. “

So I possibly have a job working at a geophysics firm. Again. I heard these guys are more involved with their trainee geophysicists, so that’s a relief.

Also indievegan web development is coming along, not like I’d like it to be but its getting there. Check at http://web.indievegan.com

Hopefully between the two once they’re sorted, I’ll have a somewhat dependable income with which to work. Cause you know, moving out etc. YAAAAAY

fuck you

boo fucktards

that’s right, the pent up rage is surfacing. Better out than in, there’s truth in it.

ANYWAY

New chapter.
I like where I stand. I’m enjoying what I’m doing.

current projects:
Making a website for myself (this is still in the ‘in my head’ stage, yet to put it to paper – or photoshop as it were)
Making a website for joey – indievegan.com/tbp
Aand posting to veganalternative.wordpress.com

Independent media; Gregory and the Hawk, sharing the love (P.S. steal this post)

charmedquark — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 11:42:41 +0000

Gregory and the Hawk – a premonition of what is to come.

I am not referring to the music of Meredith Godreau, of whom Gregory and the Hawk is a solo project. I am referring to the fact that her music ‘remains label-free thanks to the flexibility of the internet‘.

Now here I thought Radiohead were the ones who were meant to be heralding this shift in the way we get/see music – but Radiohead’s whole ‘pay what you like’ scheme was largely a publicity stunt. The music given online was only ~165kbps, poor quality – considering CD quality is about 320kbps. Also, they plan to release the album with the help of a label, now that many fans have already poured out their pockets.
What a shame.

In any case, Gregory and the Hawk is an example of how, with the introduction of file sharing and sites like myspace and last.fm, ordinary consumers can now be artists and distribute and promote their music on the same level as corporate funded artists. On the internet anyway.

Steal this Film (yes the name is a nod to the book ‘steal this book’ but no, the subject matter is not similar) is a documentary that goes through the history and development of media sharing and distribution right through from the middle ages, to its current state, and beyond, to what might happen in the future. It highlights the fact that normal people now have the ability to make and distribute their own work with ease due to the internet and available methods of sharing data.

Steal this film (2) can be found here

Aaaand, well as for music by Gregory and the Hawk, you could always support an (awesome) aspiring artist by going to her official site here, or you could get a waffles.fm, st music or what.cd account and do some downloading.
