Music is sound displayed through the permanence of soul. As often as the sound of a generation will alter, there will be decades of musical history which have shaped the music we hear today. I use the term 'Japanese' to define a style measured through rhythm and melody. Some may say everything can be defined as electro-pop. I define the everything and the ether surrounding it as jazz-funk. With the classicism of flamenco and street sense of hiphop.

Layerism

July 18th 2010 04:06
I had once thought that layers were people who got laid often.

It has since come to my attention that it is a fashion phenomenon whereby people dress accordingly to the temperature, simply adding layers of clothing to feel warm in the colder months.

See, things are no longer as simple as the shorts-singlet-sandles and jumper-jeans stylings of past. Scarfs, cardigans under suit jackets, short sleeved shirts with waistcoats are all in.

So I have decided to go all in. Considering I was always into wearing layers of clothes, up to four in the depths of winter, here's an option for taking it one step further:

Fedora beanie combo
Layeristic proportions


Stay original, and you know, flatter someone with an imitation every so often. See you on the streets...

To breakfast or not to breakfast

June 14th 2010 04:18
When it comes to the way we view our diet, it can be easy to consider skipping the cereal or croissant first thing in the morning. Considering the mass of food generally eaten around dinnertime it only makes sense.

Or so I thought.

There was a time not so long ago when breakfast would simply consist of a coffee or two and a few cigarettes. Looking back now, I can see the mood swings that had taken place because of this god-forsaken, paganistic sacrifice I had made on a daily basis.

Sure it was rocknroll to do so. Sure it was satisfying those basic habitual instincts that come with addictive stimulants, maybe even solidifying them to a point of becoming a permanent part of my genetic makeup.

But considering the loss of life on a day-to-day basis as well as the act of burning the candle at both ends, I would not recommend this lifestyle choice to generations to come. Although not sure how many years this daily ritual has taken off my life, I know it will be some time before I can gain these years back.

In Australia, for my generation, we are expected to retire after the age of 67 - at which point we can receive our untaxed annuity (is that a word?) pension that we have been working through our adulthood to achieve.

There are a few hiccups that are needed to be resolved before we can realistically believe in this idea, based on the grounds that we are relatively healthier and will live longer than previous generations. Binge drinking, cigarette smoking and illicit drug abuse seem to be the same as always. So how do we get the kids off it?

For me and my R-rated breakfast, I found the idea that a chocolate croissant and fructose-funfilled orange juice couldn't be too bad an option. And I stick with that opinion.

Another example of sacrificing for the lesser evil is in Portugal, where all 'illegal' drugs have been decriminalised. With less kids going to jail for petty drug charges and less of a "let's break the law!" attitude on the streets, I definitely think it is a wise option.

Something to believe in, even.

Colourful associations

May 2nd 2010 12:24
The Oreo is often used to describe the black man who acts like someone who actively contributes to whatwhitepeoplelike.com

The Crunchie is a descriptive word for a blonde who has dark hair.

The Watermelon is someone who parades like they are into green politics but inside they're communist lite, a 'pinko'. This term is believed to have derived from back in the days when Gough Whitlam introduced a Department of Environment into the political landscape.

I believe I am a bit of all the above. For some extra spice, I have decided to add my own theory to these colourful quotes.

Sexism is to anti-feminism what racism is to anti-evolutionism.

Disprove that!

Life as we know it
Those graphic design students...

Diversifying the Gene Pool

April 17th 2010 03:37
It seems that this is the millennium of the human race becoming more of a mish-mash. As we come to see the world as something much smaller and conquerable than we had in the past, global citizens will raise the bar as border patrols lower theirs.

Attraction is a key element in the process, and is at work as we speak. The natural progress of civilisation has found the majority of the population to be more inclined to not just the opposite sex, but also other skin tones and eye-hair colour through wanting more than what is seen in the ever present window to society that is the mirror, as well as the mirror that society projects onto us

Waterside Suicide

February 28th 2010 04:12
There was an earthquake in Chile over the past 24 hours, which led to the prediction of a tsunami hitting Australia's east coast. Matter of fact said prediction has been put forward for years now, with soothsayers expecting devaluing of property in coastal areas, and the general idea that a tsunami in the age of climate change and control will have more devastating effects than a simple non-taxpayer funded clean up of the ocean side boulevardes.

It is expected that a rise in sea levels will not be gradual, more like a wham-bam-thankyou-ma'am affair such as which travellers often expect when cruising into the beachside pub. People are expecting either a tidal wave that will wash away pieces of land for good, or a king tide of some permanence that will force many out of their sandy backyards

Per Le Studente

January 30th 2010 03:06
I would like to thank last night's 2 weeks in the waiting 11 hour sleep for bringing the piece of mind to write.

Waking up at 5am for work, getting home around 3pm, and then proceeding to l'Italian scuola has been my Monday to Friday routine for the latter half of this month. Intensive courses are tough, that's no joke. I can see how if you have little plans over a holiday period a month long, 5 nights a week language course would be the best idea since the wheel was patented

There are many times in our lives when it is best to take a step back and ponder, why on earth would someone do such a thing?

Bringing the pain to a person's genitalia (?generationitalia?) is one such act, cold hearted and cruel. Cartman might have taught us to resolve issues with a swift 'kick him in the nuts' - but as such it can result in either a lack of want in using such organs, or eventuate in rendering these organs useless and in constant flashbacks of pain. Many would consider such an outcome a fate worse than death, without a hint of exagerration

Heterophobia and Fauxmosexuality

November 29th 2009 05:37
It is all completely understandable, with the weight of the uncertain future the people of the past have pressed upon us. And considering that the worlds fertility rate is now down to replenishment levels (ie no more increase in population), being a direct result of increased education of the feminine species and a general wtf is the point attitude - alright I admit it financial considerations may have played a part, it can only be seen as a by-product of the state of current international affairs.

Heterophobia is primarily a heterosexual attitude. Beta male does not want to see alpha male prowling the streets, charming the women and not allowing for any action of his own. And straight men who have taken to the eurotrend of above-the-knee shorts have two options. Curse and openly hate upon those who are more obviously heterosexual, or just give in to the new-millennium Australian stereotype and act gay

Fumando Meu Cafe

October 31st 2009 03:26
It comes in various forms - percolated, instant, espresso, milked up. Provided there is an environment for coffee beans to grow, people all over the earth will be consuming the black drink in which a whole civilization could be based on.

Maybe, instead of could be, I should say is

Por Os Estudantes

September 27th 2009 05:32
Being a student can be a real pain for those of us who feel the need for more education but don't really have the time for it.

I have spent the greater part of the past two years writing 1000-2000 word essays for my college studies, all up about twenty of them. It was also during this time that I was working, volunteering, writing for a magazine which I'm not sure still exists, writing music which has not yet been recorded (so you could say that doesn't exist either), and travelling with what spare money and time I had
