Out of the market...

A somewhat overdue post, quite frankly not really as a requirement but more as a statement of the importance of my resolution to create this blog. The point of the blog is still as present as ever and my commitment to it as well, thus this post.
So to the topic, I am out of the market, well this statement is not really recent, but yet I guess I haven't put things in these terms yet. The market, this interesting concept coming out of the mind of the economic geniuses of the past. Well my market value has been high for a while, but lets say it has reached "conscientious" all time high. I say "conscientious" because there are parts of my life where it was very blurry either way. The simplicity of the matter is it is high, I am aware of it, how awesome I am and all that arrogant language that I've learned to tone down... Regardless of all of that, the market has lost its appeal, reasons? Well that are reasons beyond reason that drive our decisions, even when we think otherwise... I know a cliché, to be honest this cliché stage is not cool but, it is :P.
Market is just another word to interpret human interactions, how to deal with things, events, people, assess, analyse, etc. LOL, it is funny how good one can be at this game, or whatever you want to call it, the thing is my value is as high as it is because I know all that I know, and I know what I've learned which is a consequence of who I am, thus AWESOME :P.
Ok this post is not about me in that sense, the post is not about my market theories, my assessments, my games, my worlds, it is simply a statement of me being out in the market but not really for sale, and I am not really interested to buy anything, unless it comes in pares :P (a little humour). This guy is now looking at the markets of futures, meaning in less immediate things, LOL, I really need to post my theory about markets here, this post would make so much more sense... But no time for that today, today is about pulling myself of the market, buying out my market shares, a bit sad... And yet I am happy so, life goes on to better things, at least one hopes.

Just realised this is the most unromantic view I could put things, LOL, well that is my brain for you, but I compensate with nice borrow words...

Post Blue...

Not blue post :P, the post blue is a perfect topic, well not really but I have it in my head for the whole day so you have to put up with it. This is not an original topic, considering it is the title for the song I am introducing today. Not a new song, just more, let's present, this one won against the slower song of the day. Honestly they intend the same thing but one is more to the world, and the other is more, let's say private. Besides I really want to talk about this song with a tittle that is not used anywhere in its lyric, but yet it makes perfect sense... How? Well it is not really a song about how, but more a song about why, thus if you don't get it, well you probably never will, which is fine, I probably don't get it either and just think I do ;P.
The other song goes straight for my night tomorrow, a week of normal schedule just made me realise I want and need the change in my schedule. Quoting another song, "things will never be the same, life is changing", well let change come I am ready and open for it. For now world this is two versions of the song, normal under a great video of a great tv series, the other live showing how awesome Placebo is...

What Goes Around...

... goes around and comes back around. Or at least this is true with this song. Today I stumble upon this version of it, which made me decide next chance I get to see this dude live I'll take it. It seems quite a show, a music show, who would have known :P.
Anyway, this is one of those songs that I liked and got hooked on for a while, in a time when let's say I was seeing the lyrics as something in front of me, well "funny thing about that is" now "I don't think about", the question of "Is this it?" was fully answered, as it was always clear in my head, but you give people a chance for surprising you... One of my rules, regardless of what you know, give people the chance to get there on their own...
This song now just makes me smirk, considering the reasons behind it, well I don't want to, I am pretty sure I have a clear idea thus I don't even dive into them...
A lesson of life, not all in a literal sense, but some of the sentences of the song just stick, and this version well it has something extra... Enjoy...



I have to reconsider my views of this dude, perhaps there is something more that just a catchy tune or two...

Some songs...

Today a very small post, very simple topic, songs that aren't particularly good but get stuck in your head. Today I had one of these moments with the song that I am including in the post. I know the song isn't particularly good, but I like it, it appeals to something in me, either the rhythm, or words, or whatever, it works. This troubles me a bit, the fact that we can be targeted by artificial art, well maybe this is a bit harsh, but fuck, they follow a recipe for success which works, and for a strange reason even if we can see past it, we still like the song. Tell me am I the only one that finds this weird? Well listen to the song and tell me what you think...

Lightning Crashes...

I will start by apologising for the possible failure of this post, it is a quite personal one, which is not something I do particularly well.
This tittle comes out of the song attached to this post, this song came to me while in the boat trip in Milos, quite strange since I haven't heard in ages, at least not consciously, the sceptic in me tells me probably I heard it somewhere in the island. Regardless of this it was stuck in my head, mostly the sound, not the lyrics, for a strange reason the lyrics on this song are not very clear to me. At first I thought they meant more, after I got back and I saw the lyrics I realised I was misunderstanding some of it, which in turn made me think it was less, but really looking at them, well they intend what I originally thought :P. Before you complain I know I am hiding behind borrowed words again, but I am trying.
This is not an official statement, but the meaning of this song is attached with a lightning crashing in my life, one of those quite rare events that as a lightning happen when and where you least expect them. Those moment charged with energy of life, with the power for immense things, the potential for greatness, like a lightning the raw energy that requires a mean to be used and not wasted. I feel like taking this metaphor further, so I apologise if you aren't able to follow it. The lightning crashes when the tension between the earth and sky become to much to take, the collision of two giants for a brief moment, but also their connection, their passion, their power. A bit philosophical, but in life when do these moments of tension happen? Well those who know me might find the answer a bit weird, you simply feel it, and when you can feel it, well little matters besides this indescribable force of nature. We can be as sceptic as we want, live as one, but if we are lucky at least once the lightning strikes, for the real lucky more than once, after all it is all a matter of odds, or at least that is what the sceptical will say ;P.
The song demonstrates a clear sense in randomness of life, things are random and yet there is a sense to it, a cycle, a direction, or at least that is what we would like to believe. I admit I am the first one not to go for these sort of thoughts, but at times when I feel no need to think about them, well for moments all looks so align in a random symmetry, which crumbles as soon as you question it. Like understanding of life is attached to not questioning what seems to make sense. Perhaps it's just the illusion of meaning, thus failing the test of reason, or reason is a flawed tool for certain matters. All interesting thoughts, but I believe I am drifting from me towards world abstractions.
Why do I have the need to write this, well I want to wait for the official moment, it sounds a bit stupid since I am certain of it now, I kind of was for a while, but my rules and regulations developed throughout the years (for a reason) had to followed. The maze that I have built is there for several reasons, protection and worthiness being among the highest. This is beside the point I guess, the thing is that last line was rewritten a couple of times, let's see it is going too much in to my core, and it is beside the point. The thing is I had my official moment, which sound quite heavy, but is not really, it is just words tend to complicate things more, go figure, how we can transform a tool for communication and understanding into a complicated aggregation of things that barely explains what we mean, and yet provides it with much more heaviness than it is intended :P. So in a blunt way of the official things, I leave it another day.
As for what I think and feel, well I am happy, which is a big word for someone like me, and the reason, well I couldn't ever complain about my life, but when the lightning crashes, well you can feel it...

Tick box post

A quick post for today, since I don't want to give too much away, why? well honestly not in a writing mood, or a song mood. If I had to put something it would be my new rediscovery, but that one will have to come with a lot more than what I am willing to write today, so let's call this a tick box post. Done.
