Brave New World
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley<br/>
My rating: 4 of 5 stars<br /><br />
Once you get through the terminology of the future world, it is an interesting social commentary on a familiar theme: Is it better to be 'happy' by being unaware of any distress, longing, disappointment, loss, heartbreak, etc.? Is that true happiness? Are you truly 'happy' if you have never known sadness? <br /><br />The society in which Bernard lives has taken care of all the so-called 'difficulties' of society, but at what cost? The people are conditioned to be satisfied with what they have been essentially genetically engineered to have. They spout phrases and mantras that have been brainwashed into their minds from a young age. They are provided a drug that provides them the perfect high with no repercussions. Promiscuous sex is accepted and encouraged and there are no consequences, other than sexual gratification. Televisions, scent machines, perfect music....is it paradise?<br /><br />John the Savage (raised in hardship, loss, want, and emotions of love, anger, passion...) doesn't like this 'Brave New World' once he sees how the 'civilized' are behaving. But is John's view of the necessity of suffering and pain a realistic alternative? Does John go too far in his view of how the human existence should be? Is Johns world of physical pain (sometimes self-inflicted), hardship, exile, etc. the answer?<br /><br />Is our society moving toward turning us into mindless and thoughtless people in the name of progress? Do we over-medicate (drug) ourselves into a false happiness? Are we over-sexualizing our lives in the name of pure gratification? Are lasting relationships (or relationships at all) no longer seen as ideal?<br /><br />Is there a middle ground that can be attained? <br /><br />I enjoyed this book...still provoking thought after so many years.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Germany crushes Greece to reach semis - #uefa
...If you get the chance, watch the replays of the Germany goals; a Lahm rocket, a Klose header and two perfect volleys...they are going to be tough to beat.

A Poem
i carry your heart with me
i carry it in my heart
i am never without it
(anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done by only me
is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate
(for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than soul can hope
or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder
that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
~ e. e. cummings

Lake Acworth on a cool morning in May.
I drive by this place every morning but rarely stop...even though I tell myself I should, if only for a few moments.On this day, I did, and only had my phone camera, but still got a pretty decent picture.

Quote of the Day
"When a man comes to die, no matter what his talents and influence and genius, if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror. It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure to the world." East of Eden p. 392

Chelsea captain John Terry explains his red card....and his nose grows six inches in the process.. #cheapshotartist
...while Chelsea deserve the win, John Terry once again showed his true colors...that was a cheap shot on the Barca player and nothing else. He thought he would get away with it because it was away from the ball. For Terry to say "I'm not that type of player" is a joke, because that is exactly the type of player he is.
Miracle at the Camp Nou! Not a Blues fan, but way to go Chelsea! #cfc #ucl

Technology has me by the throat... and other places.
Trying up get my phone repaired today.. long story (no comments, please, from those that know the story). The guy says he will need to special order the part and it would take a week.
I actually get nervous at the mere thought. I can't do without my phone for an hour, let alone a week, and I tell him to put my smashed phone back together and call me when the part arrives.
I also realized I have just about everything on my phone... and sitting at the store for 20 minutes with no phone was an eternity.
It was then that I knew technology has me by the short hairs. Sigh.

Photo Artists Use Filter "Normally Used by NASA" to Remove People From Crowded Urban Places | Popular Science
Columbus Circle, Deserted Lucie & Simon"Silent World," a photography project by Parisian artists Lucie & Simon, takes the most crowded parts of New York City, Paris, and Beijing, and alters them in a basic (but technically incredible difficult) way. We recognize Times Square, Columbus Circle, and more landmarks from our own hometown, but only barely--those usually people-clogged landmarks are now empty, totally bereft of the swarms of tourists and locals alike that give those areas their personality. Apparently the artist duo used a neutral filter "normally used by NASA for analyzing stars." The filter allows the photographers to take extra-long exposures, and then cut out any moving objects like people or cars. Check out video of the project below.
