Live Positive!

Introduction:
I´m the sum total of my ancestors
I carry their DNA
We are representatives of a long line of people
And we carried them around everywhere
This long line of people
That goes back to the beginning of time
And when we meet - they meet other lines of people
And we say, we bring together the lines of me.

Where does it end?

An excerpt from Shiv Khera's 'YOU CAN WIN'

'A wealthy farmer was once offered all the land he could walk on in a day provided he returned by sundown to the point at which he started. To get a head start, early the next morning, the farmer started covering ground quickly because he wanted to get as much land as he could. Even though he was tired, he kept going all afternoon because he didn't want to lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain more wealth.

Late in the afternoon, he remembered that the condition he had to fulfill to get the land was to get back to the starting point by sundown. His greed had gotten him far from the starting point. He started his return journey, keeping an eye on how close he was to sundown. The closer it got to sundown, the faster he ran. He was exhausted and out of breath, an he pushed himself byond the point of endurance. He collapsed upon reaching the starting the point and died. He did make it before sundown. He was buried and all the land he needed was a small plot.'

The Blessed One

A 2-3 year old lioness ‘Kamunyak’ had adopted a Fledgling young Oryx calf. The news was treated with a lot of skepticism since an Oryx is a type of antelope upon which lions usually prey. Experts were at a loss to explain the big cat's affection towards the calves. The lioness, nicknamed Kamunyak, or The Blessed One, by locals, had protected her adopted young from danger and had allowed them to nurse from their biological mothers.[read more]

To comprehend the magnitude of weirdness associated with this story you have to watch the visuals[aired on Animal Planet] of the interaction between the lioness and her adopted love-child. Both trudge along weak in their knees due to lack of proper food, the lioness hasn't eaten for days and all her ribs protrude from her body while the calf, thin & frail, has not had it's fill of milk and can barely walk.

The final moments are heartbreaking, the lioness sits down in the shade provided by some shrubs, due to pure exhaustion and for the first time allows the calf to stray. Nature finally catches up to this divine couple, the helpless, thirsty calf is nabbed by a strong male lion hiding in the bushes. The lioness hears the commotion(calf cries its heart out for several minutes) and watches from a distance as her 'calf-cub' is toyed with & then killed to be consumed. The male lion leaves the scene after he's had his hearts full. The distraught lioness moves to the exact spot where the male lion had plunged his teeth into her calf, she sniffs the ground to get a whiff of her 'baby' for the last time. The grieving lioness....

Talk about Nature getting turned on its head!

Vietnam War Repercussion

Even though the Vietnam War ended 30 years ago, the US’s saturation chemical bombing is still wreaking havoc on millions, including the newly born — making them third-generation victims. Nobody knows when the congenital deformities, one of many horrific health consequences of the toxic chemicals, will end.[read more]

Personal Safety/Security/Freedom

The selfish they're all standing in line...
Faith in their hope and to buy themselves time.
Me, I figure as each breath goes by,
I only own my mind.

The north is to south what the clock is to time.
Theres east and theres west and there everywhere life.
I know that I was born and I know that Ill die.
The in between is mine. I am mine.

And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time...
We're different behind the eyes, theres no need to hide.
We're safe tonight.

The ocean is full cause everyones crying,
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide.
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied.
I only know my mind. I am mine.

And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time.
Wer'e different between the lines, theres no need to hide...
Cause we're safe tonight.

And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time.
We're different behind the eyes, theres no need to hide.

And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with lies.
We're different behind the eyes.
We're safe tonight.

Too many??

The single bacterial cell in the petri dish that multiplies and multiplies until it ultimately makes the ecosystem(petri-dish) uninhabitable due to the accumulation of their waste products over a period of time is familiar knowledge. We live in our own petri-dish aka Gaea aka Planet Earth and have a different perception of time than the bacteria but still same arent we, alive and reproducing like theres no end.

Natural resources running out, ecosystem collapsing(e.g:global warming)....Is it really possible to fix our planet?

9/11....why?

This is kinda really late but oh well, it has to be covered....Heres Osama's side of the story on why he made his disciples have their fiery midday-picnic at the World Trade Center. Thats a huge letter and i recommend anyone reading this should really go through it but of course most of the idiots nowadays have the attention span of a moth.

When the letter starts its all well and dandy, sounding like an old sighing middle-eastern guy going on about how the bloody Americans are interfering in their affairs(mostly the Israel angle), in other words, 'Whiteys, go mind your #@$*&#(fuckin) business!'....but then to the middle of the letter it all boils down to my favorite debating topic---->Religion.

Mine is bigger than yours!

Woohooo...what it all boils down to is fundamentalist Islam Vs non-believers of Islam....there are some dumb-ass closet atheists who believe in God just to be safe on Judgement Day...maybe i should follow their path and convert to Islam, that way i've all the bases covered:

• protection from fundamentalist Islamics out to get non-believers - check!
• protection on Judgement Day - check!

(Some issue about drugs in there somewhere too....Osama blaming the American drug culture but maybe it should be pointed out that the Afghanistan variety is the most sought after :) There seems to be no logical conclusion to this whole issue of Osama Vs America, and sadly very few people even know what all the noise is all about, yet everyone waits intently for the next huge twist in the story and thats probably the capture of Osama. Ya rt!...gud luck with that....my money is on a Hitleresque suicide.

Rantings

God, the omniscient being. He created the universe and everything in it and sadly his pastime is scrutinizing everyday misdeeds and workings of the non-sensical creatures inhabiting earth known as Homosapiens.

Is everyone pretending to believe in all these religious stories? Am I missing some huge part of this puzzle? But how can normal human beings who go through life understanding that miracles do not happen on a daily basis actually give into all the religious hallaa-balloo. This one thing keeps nagging though, its majority of the human race that give in to this. Ready to accept someone as their master and of course theres the middlemen who are 'the enlightened ones', they stand between the puny mortal and his 'savior'.

The Reverands, the Bishops, the Chaplains, the temple-priest. Apparantly the almighty God does not listen to the ordinary earthling, he needs all the prayers and thanksgiving to be channeled through 'holy people'?? Considering the number of churches and 'holy people' spread out throughout this world together with the frenzied media its kind of surprising that one doesnt get to hear about any individual who has the same qualities as our dear, departed Mother Teresa.

Religion appears to be an extension of the familial architecture. Just another exclusive group that these social creatures want to be a part of. A group of humans led by clueless patriarchs, coupled with primitive rituals.

'Religion is the opiate of the masses' -Karl Marx

The New World disOrder

The death-knell sounds for the modern civilization. This is probably the worst crisis that humanity has faced during my lifetime and will be a life-altering one at that. I'm not making this stuff up, rather its the conclusion of the best and most widely-respected scientific minds from all around the globe.

It is estimated that the world may have enough oil to year 2030 at current consumption, and enough natural gas to year 2060 if all known reserves were recoverable. Life will not continue as is until every last drop is gone. There continues to be small amounts of oil suspected as reserves around the world, but not in the quantities that will alter the clear shortages and competition for it. It is very unlikely that a child born after 2005 will ever need a driver license, and it is very likely that before 2020 most people around the world will be living without the benefits of oil and will lose the use of natural gas at the same time.

It is likely that a World War (the energy war) has started, and as limited oil reserves are depleted aggression will escalate. The worlds' remaining known approximate oil reserves 2004-2005: Saudi Arabia 24%, Iraq 10%, Iran 10%, Kuwait 9%, United Arab Emirates 9%, Russia 9%, Venezuela 8%, Mexico 5%, United States 5% (not counting oil shale), Nigeria 2%, Libya 2%, China 2%, Kazakhstan 2%, Algeria 1.5%, Canada .5% (not counting tar/oil sands), Norway .5%, Indonesia, .5%. All percentages are rounded and approximated. Oil from tar sands and oil shale are not included because the high amount of energy inputs, water consumption, and waste production will likely hinder these sources of oil from being anything more than limited supplies. The nations most near and friendly to us, Mexico and Canada, have very limited reserves and are rapidly being depleted as we are. The remaining oil reserves are in nations in less friendly regions and the oil is in areas more difficult to extract. Although we hear about "discoveries," our future oil security is seriously at risk.

Because private companies and nations have over-estimated oil reserves it is difficult to be exact but these estimates of world oil reserves are close and further research will reflect this. Also, rapid exploitation may have damaged many reserves' wells and will limit production. It may be that we (the world) have much less than is believed! The United States past its "peak oil" point back in the early 1970's ( for further research refer to Peak Oil Crisis Books) and now imports about two-thirds (2/3) of its oil. The U.S. economy and the current American way of life is supported by energy from other nations. Those nations that have not already past peak oil (maximum production) are very near it. In the future, production will decrease while at the same time demand increases. The spread between supply and demand will cause higher prices (for all products), and international tensions leading to violence.

In the near future products made from oil (plastics and petrochemicals) will become very expensive. Also, everything is transported by oil (gas/diesel) and will go up in price because of the increase in shipping costs.

Many of the Western homes are heated by heating oil and natural gas. Most electricity is produced from natural gas (propane is liquefied natural gas or LNG) or coal which requires oil (gasoline and diesel fuel) for mining and shipping. Fertilizers and pesticides require oil and/or natural gas for manufacture. Giant agricultural corporations can not feed the world without tractors, fertilizers and pesticides. Industries will not be able to produce our consumer products without oil.

Nations will begin fighting (have begun fighting) for oil and natural gas to save their economies. As people are unable to pay higher prices for manufactured products, employers will begin layoffs and unemployment will increase. The unemployed will not be able to buy, and businesses will close creating more layoffs and homelessness. Protests, riots, and crime will increase and the response will be martial law, a police state, and government seizure of weapons, foods, and medicines for emergency relief and control could happen. All of the efforts to control and protect remaining resources will ultimately fail. This spiral of war, failing businesses, and social decay will get worse in all nations as oil and natural gas resources are depleted.

Because of easy access to fossil fuel energy there is significantly more population than can survive without it. Failing to decrease the increasing population, have we come to the point were we must increase the decreasing population? It is possible that the use of virus, or bacteria to significantly reduce populations will be considered.[read more]

Manga Jesus

Yes, Jesus!...Hes the poster-boy of the Holy Bible. This is the 21st century and people are losing hope in their religion. Hence new methods to revive interest. This is a picture from a new cutting-edge Manga comic representation of the stories from the Bible.
Remember the ever-vengeful God of the Old Testament? The one who will strike you down with lightning or turn you into a pillar of salt or send army of locust to torment etc, even if you look at him wrong....This Loving-Vengeful God has always been a confused leader to me....All through the Old Testament you'll find the Biblical authors going on n' on about how angry the God was and yet 'Anger' is one of the seven deadly sins....The punishment for this sin in Hell is 'dismemberment while still alive'...I wonder how this works for universal-immortal beings.

Murder....Death....Kill

After days & months of bad case of Writers Bloc heres the latest post....reason for this revived interest in blogging is partly due to the fact that a druggie-philosopher uses the link to this blog as his nick in googletalk...Ok, thats enough of introductions...You know, i was going through the earlier posts with the Bihari being dragged behind by the police on a motorbike and thinking to self that those were the good 'ol days when everything was so simple.
Seriously what the hell is going on nowadays, case and point#1:A love-triangle in Mumbai resulting in the murder and then cutting up his body into 300 odd pieces, filling it into two gunny bags and then setting it on fire...case and point#2:A 14 yr old schoolgirl murdered by her own father because he found her inside her room with the servant-man in objectionable positions, the father himself had an existing affair and the daughter&servant had gotten close because they knew about it n' used to talk about it(this is the motive for the murder as of the time this post is being published). This is like as screwed-up & convoluted as it can get.I guess we're headfirst into Urban Chaos.
As soon as you turn on the tv, you're hit with fancy graphics and whatnots and the never-ending speculations on both the murders by the frenzied news organizations. From morning till night its murder.....death....kill...Who killed Aarushi?...Gruesome Neeraj murder...Aarushi!!....Neeraj!!....Mariya!!...Lt.Jerome!!...The Talwars!! (Now thats bound to bring some webtraffic this way)

Here on the right is an example of the graphics employed to drive the point home, now isnt this some sort of a crime in itself, to start pointing fingers way before the trial is set to begin. The cops who investigated the murder first claimed that the servant, Hemraj was the prime-suspect but they had to eat their words when hours later his dead-body was found on the terrace.

The Neeraj Grover murder suspects have been lucky thus far, they've had everything from scarves to bedsheets to cover their faces in front of the cameras.

Both of these have been mighty bloody affairs involving stabs, slitting of throat, banging head on wall( :shudder: )

Oh and the Orkut angle??......tons of people srapping their hearts out on the dead profile pages: Neeraj ||| Aarushi

And then theres the public opinion...i landed on some blogspot(don've link) where the author encourages his readers to think up ways to punish the murderers. I say lets bundle up the Mariyas and Jeromes and Talwars and take them to The Rider!.....yes thats right, the Bihari cop on the bike, i promise you he'll think of more ways to punish all the guilty in this world and you can have more blood & gore & death as much as you like and if you're very lucky, you'll get to ride pillion with him...........
.............right into the sunset............ride away........
.............away from all the sinners of the world............
unless of course he decides to drag the 'sinners' behind the bike again.

Peace be to the Dead and the Alive.

Hell P.O.

The cover of Discover magazine, August 2002, asks the question — "What's Really at the Center of the Earth?".

"There is a lake of fire — with millions of people burning, weeping, screaming, wailing, gnashing of teeth".

The following article appeared in the well respected Finland newspaper, Ammenusastia

"As a communist I don’t believe in heaven or the Bible but as a scientist I now believe in hell," said Dr. Azzacove. "Needless to say we were shocked to make such a discovery. But we know what we saw and we know what we heard. And we are absolutely convinced that we drilled through the gates of hell!"

Dr. Azzacove continued, ". . .the drill suddenly began to rotate wildly, indicating that we had reached a large empty pocket or cavern. Temperature sensors showed a dramatic increase in heat to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit."

"We lowered a microphone, designed to detect the sounds of plate movements down the shaft. But instead of plate movements we heard a human voice screaming in pain! At first we thought the sound was coming from our own equipment."

"But when we made adjustments our worst suspicions were confirmed. The screams weren’t those of a single human, they were the screams of millions of humans!"

Kevin Smith's Dogma

Dogma is a 1999 comedy film, written and directed by Kevin Smith, who stars in the film along with Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorentino, Alan Rickman, Bud Cort, Salma Hayek, Chris Rock, Jason Lee, Jason Mewes, George Carlin, Janeane Garofalo and Alanis Morissette.

The film is a satire of the Catholic Church and Catholic belief, which caused organized protests and much controversy in many countries, delaying release of the film and leading to at least three death threats against Smith. The film follows two fallen angels, Loki and Bartleby, who attempt to get back into Heaven - however, as God is infalliable their success would prove Him wrong and undo all creation. Thus, the last Scion and two prophets are sent by the Voice of God to stop them.

THEME

The major theme of the film is about modern people regaining their faith in God, and the danger in faith being confused with dogma. The film also is critical of the usage of religion to justify greed, war, racism, and homophobia. It also states that Heaven is for everyone, not just one religion, and that a person's race, religion, sexuality, and upbringing will not condemn him/her to eternal damnation, as long as s/he is a purehearted, good person.

Disclaimer

The film opens with the following disclaimer:

Disclaimer: 1) a renunciation of any claim to or connection with; 2) disavowal; 3) a statement made to save one's own ass.

Though it'll go without saying ten minutes or so into these proceedings, View Askew would like to state that this film is from start to finish a work of comedic fantasy, not to be taken seriously. To insist that any of what follows is incendiary or inflammatory is to miss our intention and pass judgment; and passing judgment is reserved for God and God alone (this goes for you film critics too... just kidding).

So please before you think about hurting someone over this trifle of a film, remember: even God has a sense of humor. Just look at the Platypus. Thank you and enjoy the show.

P.S. We sincerely apologize to all Platypus enthusiasts out there who are offended by that thoughtless comment about Platypi. We at View Askew respect the noble Platypus, and it is not our intention to slight these stupid creatures in any way. Thank you again and enjoy the show.

Controversy

Although there was no opposition to the film while the actual filming and pre-production was taking place, the following months of post-production and publicity were plagued with controversy over a perceived anti-Christian message in the film.

In an interview, Smith said: "You gotta find the line, and then cross it."

Over time, the filmmakers received over 300,000 pieces of hate mail, which Smith posted on his website. Among these were "two-and-a-half" death threats. Smith explained this in his movie An Evening with Kevin Smith: One of the letters was threatening to start with, then became more friendly further on. The Catholic League in particular attacked Disney and Miramax, the original distributors, for being anti-Catholic. The film was originally scheduled to come out in November of 1998, but was pushed back to November of 1999 in the hopes the controversy would die down. When that didn't work, Disney sold the film's distribution rights to Lions Gate Films.

When the film actually came out, Kevin Smith and his friend Bryan Johnson participated in a protest at the Sony Multiplex in Eatontown, New Jersey, carrying a sign which read "Dogma is Dogshit." A news crew captured the incident and broadcast an interview with a disguised Smith on News 12 New Jersey that can be found on Youtube.

Still by Alanis Morisette (roleplaying God in Dogma)

I am the harm which you inflict
I am your brilliance and frustration
I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit
I'm your immaturity and your indignance
I am your misfits and your praised
I am your doubt and your conviction
I am your charity and your rape
I am your grasping and expectation

I see you averting your glances
I see you cheering on the war
I see you ignoring your children
And I love you still And I love you still

I am your joy and your regret
I am your fury and your elation
I am your yearning and your sweat
I am your faithless and your religion
I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land
I see you and your selective amnesia
And I love you still And I love you still

I am your tragedy and your fortune
I am your crisis and delight
I am your profits and your prophets
I am your art, I am your bytes
I am your death and your decisions
I am your passion and your plights
I am your sickness and convalescence
I am your weapons and your light

I see you holding your grudges
I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters
And I love you still And I love you (still)

I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out
I see you blaming each other
And I love you still And I love you still

Rules of Life...for females

1. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
2. Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair... and by then you're stuck with them.
3. Crying is blackmail.
4. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
5. Men believe that yes and no are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
6. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
7. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us and force us to lie for reasons of self protection.
8. If you won't dress like Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
9. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
10. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic. (It doesn't mean we don't love you anymore. We're hard-wired to ogle.)
11. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
12. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it.
13. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
14. Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what they're saying anyway.)
15. I am in shape. ROUND is a shape.
16. (Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know we really don't mind that; it's like camping.)

Musings on 'The Secret'

Previous post was a description of the principles of the 'Law of Attraction' which is supposed to be the secret to blissful existence on this planet. Allegedly all the successful people or at least most of them are said to be have been aware of this. All this affair just adds one more layer of intricacy for my wretched existence on this planet. From the day we are born there is the bombardment of our brain with the supposed truths of the universe. Initially it was God, the Almighty, the unquestionable being who will strike you down even if you look at him wrong. Secret of success from age 1 to age 18 was 'Praise God, and you will attain salvation.' Then of course the rebel years set in and you dont want to believe in someone that demands so much phony respect and so decide to make up your own set of rules which essentially tells you to not hurt another human being whatever you do.

Along comes another supposed truth, 'Law of Attraction', its not even an actual law because it cannot be proven, it is supposed to be taken with a huge dose of faith, apparently thats exactly where we were with the 'God' phenomenon. And of course this one also insists that you love yourself to the max which uncomfortably borders on narcissism . I recently read an argument against the 'Law of Attra...' which cites the case of abused children, did the child wish this upon them, or was it entirely upon the whims of the adults who wanted it to happen. Certain realms in this theory thus has uncomfortable levels of explanations.

Moreover just consider the case of my January 05 posting, put it together with the 'intention-manifestation' principle, (hint:asteroid + earth) yes....muahahaha you are in for a rocky ride!!

Intention-Manifestation

'The Secret'. That name encapsulates everything that the video presentation(DVD) intended to impart. The secret to success, the secret to wealth, the secret to the perfect relationship, the secret to good health. Hell!...it is the secret of the universe that is supposed to have been the mantra for the success of great minds such as Plato, Newton, Einstein etc in their respective fields of expertise. Now the following theory is something that was supposedly understood by our forefathers or at least the extremely successful ones. The word 'successful' has been used relatively, successful in the sense that they were happy with their lives because they got everything that they wished for. This is what it comes down to, you are Alladin, the charismatic pauper from the Arabian tales and the Universe is your Genie. The Universe supposedly keeps repeating the same thing to you over and over, 'Your wish is my command.'

This theory is based on the 'Law of Attraction'. We all have learned about this law at the atomic level and at the cosmic level but now it has been extended to the human psyche. Maybe I shouldn't have said 'now it has been' because people from the Babylonian times are said to have been aware of this phenomenon. The gist of the matter is that you only have to make a list of what you deeply and earnestly desire, and just visualize or radiate positive thoughts regarding your desire and the universe will somehow find a way to make your dream come true.

As with everything in this universe this principle too has its 'yang' which is that you being the Alladin should never doubt the feasibility of your desire because then you are sending out the message that the universe will not be able to fulfill your desire and thats exactly what the universe does, 'Your wish is my command.'

Collision course

Yes its here...finally God has opened my letters n' made my wish come true aka "2007 WD5"....those pretty numbers is the name given to the asteroid that is hurtling through space and making its way through our very own solar-system...initially it had 1-in-75 chance of hitting Mars, then chances became 1-in-25 and now 1-in-28(3.6%)....if it misses then it will continue in its path n' probably someday crash into the 'third rock from the sun'...(keeping fingers crossd)...sadly from what i've read even if it crashes on earth, whole of the planet wont be destroyed only a metropolitan area...hopefully though it'll have longterm effects...(dinosaurs anyone?)....

"It's still very much a long shot.

But if you want to see the heavenly version of demolition derby, place your hopes on Asteroid 2007 WDS.

That's the asteroid now moving close enough to Mars that astronomers estimate there's a 3.5 to 4 percent chance it will actually smash into the Red Planet at the end of the month.

"That means there is a 96 percent chance it won't," said Kelly Beatty, executive editor of Sky & Telescope magazine. "But I would think astronomers would really like to see this happen." [link]

"Astronomers at the astronomical observatory Magdalena Ridge Observatory (MRO) in Socorro County, New Mexico, made the observations that slightly changed the chance of the asteroid-red planet collision.

The observatory, which is located about 30 miles (48 kilometers) west of the city of Socorro, is operated primarily by New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology and the University of Cambridge (England). It stands at an elevation of about 10,600 feet (3,180 meters).

Asteroid 2007 WD5 is a near-Earth object (NEO), which means that it could at some point in the future also have a chance of impacting our planet Earth."
