The shins - Port of morrow
The shins are back. After their 2007 release, their front man went on and released an album (broken Bells 2010) and an ep (meyrin flields 2011) with dangermouse on a side project called broken bells. now back to the old formular with catchy tunes like "40 mark strasse" "it's only life" "the rifle's spiral" the album is filled with melodies all the way through..

Album of the week..
School of seven bells - Ghoststory
A well rounded album that reminds me of Metric's album "fantasies". its an album that one can keep on repeat while working, or reading a magazine. After seeing rhir perfomance on Jimmy Fallon i was Immediately a fan. Stand out tracks include "The Night", "Lafaye" and "Low times"

Last Dance with Mary-Jane..
I only tried weed twice and i knew right away it wasn't for me, when i took it my heart started racing, as if having a panic attack, also having a feeling that someone's watching me (like that Rockwell song, dude probably smoked some too to make a song like that), the music seems to feel real, and the second time i took a hit i was listening to ODB, so as i was listening to Shimmy Shimmy yaa, its almost as if ODB was there with me. Thats when i realized, weed was not for me. that was my last dance with mary-jane, i'll stick to Heineken thank you very much..

Airplanes..
[on the airport announcements]
"About this time, someone is telling you to get on the plane. "Get on the plane. Get on the plane." I say, "fuck you, I'm getting IN the plane! IN the plane! Let Evil Knievel get ON the plane! I'll be in here with you folks in uniform! There seems to be less WIND in here!"-George Carlin (taken from Jammin in NY)

Hometown glory..
It happens wherever you go, "homeground advantage" we call it. when you are in your hometown the love you get is astounding, from the love you get from everybody around, people you havent seen in a while. It's almost paradise. even in soccer, look at the love manchester gets in old trafford..you will notice certain individuals, who are desperate to go back to their hometowns, because thats their utopia, where they are confident and well respected, and they can rant about their imaginary success "in the big city" . you will notice that these characters, avoid persons who know them well, and every once in a while when they meet the latter, it's often hilarious the way they react..Kind of reminds me of the series LOST where there's a character named "Locke" who's like a commando on the island where they are lost at. But when he hears that there could be a submarine to rescue them from the island, he panics and blows up the sub. he doesnt wanna go back to the real world..hilarious!!!
It's all good and fun, but the trick is to get out before the chips are down, it's good to get out while it's still nice, so that you have an excuse to come back again...come to think of it..i havent been there in a while, i gotta go pack my bags and go see my hometown..

In repair..
Being dissapointed by someone takes a long time for you to heal, especially if you trusted that person so much, and at the end of the day, you are the one to look like an idiot. It's sad because what makes the whole thing so unfair is that, you become paranoid, and it's gonna take time for you to really trust anyone again, you might get close to someone as far as friendship is concerned, but as soon as you get too close you end up distancing yourself, because you dont wanna see yourself in that situation you had earlier.
Dissapointments come in different circumstances, it could be heartbreak..it could be rape..friendship..etc. you start thinking of the humiliation, shame, and. your heart could tell you to get out there and mingle, but you just aint sure that you are ready yet..it's as if you are still in repair..you aint together, but you are getting there..

7 Deadly Sins - Envy by ~elestrial on deviantART
It's funny how envy starts. it always starts with saying something like "if i were that jackass, i would probably have bought myself a toyota pryas, instead of buying that
Hypocrisy is a grandmother, stick to your day job. i know it's good to dream, but not to halucinate damn it..

Save me from myself..
depression by ~3rd3m on deviantART
"You are a danger to yourself, and others"..a line thats used everytime a person is declared unfit to be among society before you are locked up in a padded room wrapped up in straight jacket. Why? reasons always vary...you killed someone, followed
your boss home and beat him to a pulp after he fired you when you worked so hard, better than your colleagues, who you are hundred percent sure fucked their way to the top beyond reasonable doubt...In reality we are all a little nuts sometimes
sometimes, it's just that we havent been pushed over the edge.

Ironic..
Brand Irony 1 - Just Do It by *sharadhaksar on deviantART
Imagine what life would be like if there was no ignorance. Everybody would probably be talking that crap about saving the environment or recycling bubble gum and what have you..anyway i just couldnt help but post this, because first it was all good, but then it all shattered when i read some fun facts..kinda like what happened in HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER when Ted finds what he thinks is the perfect woman,but his friends all find a flaw that once noticed cannot go unnoticed.
In an average day your hands will have come into indirect contact with 15 penises (touching door handles etc.)
Daily you will breathe in 1 litre of other peoples' anal gases

An average person's yearly fast food intake will contain 12 pubic hairs.
Annually, you will shake hands with 11 men who have recently masturbated and failed to wash their hands.

Loco..
El Cientifico Loco by =mictlantectli on deviantART
It's been a weird week in namibia this week.
First: Castration to all rapists
--------------------------------
It's been suggested by parliamentarians that all rapists should be castrated.
They went on to say that those who get castrated get minimum sentences and those who dont get higher sentences. While im not one to support rapists, im somehow skeptical as to whether this idea could actually work, when you look at it from the perspective of those accused who are later found to have been innocent all along. I say this because it's a dangerous world we live in and, being accused of rape is something which happens on a continual basis (im sure guys who go to clubs will understand this). You might have consensual sex with someone who only reveals their actual motives after the deed. And when you refuse, they throw that "rape" card on the table. Who do you think the lawmakers are gonna believe? i aint rocket science.
Second: Haniball lector gets lose
--------------------------------
Some lunatic goes berserk in the north of the country, smashing a brik into the head of a security guard then going on a rampage shooting everybody in sight at a hospital. I dont blame him, i mean if a dude is insane you have to strap him on tha gurney, who hasnt watched the hanibal movies for cryin out loud!!
Third: Municipal bills up!!
--------------------------------
The final straw, minicipality has decided to raise municipal bills by a sky rocketing 10-15 % rate. Just when the little country that looks like one of those german pistols is going through it's little recession now this, and they still have the audacity to spend millions on entertainment, what a couple of douchebags!! thats what's happening in my neck of the woods..

Scars..

I know this is an old song..but its just in my head the whole week and the video is tight too. i especially like the lyrics to the song "scars remind us,the past is real" (borrowed from hannibal lecter himself, though i dont quiet remember from which movie but i think it was silence of the lambs)..so here goes..
