Dentons Dillusions

There was once a guy name frank who stole a little money
Johnny law man slapped his wrist and told him That's not funny
so one could say he did remain ignorant of his crime
ignorance is bliss say you to i, my reply, not all the time.

It hit me. 500 B.c. and you're working out theorums which take generations to disrepute. you consider everything in numbers because musical notes work in scales and harmonies, shots (or pebbles) make up shapes which are just deriviatives of numbers and you're maybe starting to see the world in terms of atoms connected together as billions and billions of tiny numbers constructing what we know of as life.

Then i was considering the nature of words and letters, how do we understand words? i mean is it not almost exactly the same as we understand numbers just in a base of 26 and with a sound which represents a noise we recognise? similar to numbers really, except with numbers we can logically progress to an era of computers and with words we get treated to artists such as William Shakespear and Bill Hicks.

it took me to a socialogical arguement from Hebdige of subcultures, and his definition of art being the "truimph of signifier over signified" or something being expressed in a way which does need the subject in question to explain it. Although this doesn't seem in anyway revelational, it just made me consider that if most of our senses can be have a sythenised stimulation based on particular code systems (Binary on CD's, Alaphabet for reading, Even feel can be stimulated into communication through Brail) why the hell are we so lousey as a race at communicating?

I don't have a particular gripe about any particular system or person here, i just seem to notice a lack of enthusiasm towards communication about anything in anyway controversial. i mean ok, i have had a bit of a weird lifestyle, met a lot of people from a lot of various religions and pretty much come to realise that religons don't kill people, people kill people.

Any race, creed, sex or species has social characters and anti-social characters. Lone wolves, Homicidal maniacs or chavs. why base the actions of a select few who when allowing objective persepctive you can see that there are people just as bad, if not worse, that belong in a similar stereotype than you.

I mean, i thought it was rude when a french person looked down at their nose at me for not speaking their language when in france. But if she ran in to joe blogs on the streets of london speaking nothing but french i don't envy her the abuse she'd recieve.

but despite all of that i feel a desire in life to communicate some of thoughts. which now seems slightly duahgting as the questions of will it really matter begin to arrise.

thanks for your time anyway

tells me i can't do "it" in relation to anything i have yet to put my full attention into, i am going to snap!?!?

I've just watched Bowling For Columbine, a nice yet Aggravating (in a positive way) film about the policies of fear and guns within America. Now i like this film as it provides a lot of insight and a lot of information which seems well researched and at least provides the public opinion on a lot of matters which seem, in a lot of cases, to be poorly informed.

But there's a constant nagging in the back of my head as George Bush declares a "blanket alert" of "general fear" following the 20 fearful out brakes of killer bees or bubonic plague that just generally fucks me off.

Why is the mass media always trying to distinguish right from wrong and constantly contradicting nature, or at least trying to get us to fear it? If there is an epidemic of an incurable disease, yes it's supposed to inspire our minds into activity and maybe even further unite us as a species but it's still natural!!!

We're supposed to have challenges to over come and we're supposed to be balanced by a force more powerful than us (i.e. nature)

So why the fuck we let anyone with the same power as us dictate what we can and can not do is beyond me. I have limits i know this, i know i can't change the world and know that even IF i did there's still a sodding great universe on which i am a spot on a pimple on the small toe of something impossible for myself to understand. but why can't i hold my dreams and try and make them real? Why does it seem to insult people when you try and work out a way of making societies more tolerant and understanding? and why do people make it easier for you to forget you have flaws than to work towards something more worthwhile?

Example from when I was younger. my dad would let me borrow his things from time to time and on more than one occasion i was careless and as a result, i have occasionally broken items that i was borrowing from him. However (and this is commonplace throughout society I've found) in the event of something breaking i would be made to feel guilty, maybe some light punishment for my lack of respect, which is fair enough. But were i to lie, miss lead or wait until the issue was no longer at the forefront of his mind i could get away with my misdemeanors.

Now admittedly the only way to really control that sort of thing at the ages i was while this was an issue would be for my father to evolve into some form of super being with a flawless memory and perfect disciplinary tactics which is far fetched for anyone to aspire towards. But this seems to be reflected by our society. Punishments in school only effects people that want to be part of the system imposed by the school themselves. For someone who responds badly to it they are merely told they will not be allowed to function properly within "civil" society.

It is for this reason i resent anyone who has undergone the same system as i have telling me what i can and can't do. I can understand if i were trying to do it in a way which infringed on other peoples rights to exist, but as a lot of my work is theoretical at the moment needing much more research before i even attempt to try and put it into practice, I don't feel anyone has the right to remove my (or anyone elses) permission to work or learn.

Thank you for your time

Storytelling night at the ramsey churchy thing

I learnt that people that look boring are not nessecarily boring. they laugh at funny things if they are told awesomely, and they will even except myths of pastafarianism even while in a church proclaiming you should want to be a good sheep *-) or a loaf of bread. Christian posters are weird man.

anyway, me had cool night was good, and now i wanna write a creation myth of my own. hmmmmmm

Hello peoples :-D how are we all today? good i hope?

I'm getting on really well here in Northampton, met buckets of people and keep meeting more, lots of be done. had our first assessed performance in creative musicianship which was really cool.

Our task was based around the Paganini song variations, and we had to do a variation upon it, how cool is that? it was loosing based on the Julian Llyod Webber rendition which you can see on youtube. and you might be able to hear our version at some point...i think my group were trying to get it done at the least :^) I'll keep you up to date with any details :-P

been fitting in incredibly well with people telling me i need to perform at jam nights already, the locals seem impressed :-D (what fools these mortals be) but I've met a lot of really cool people too, it's amazing how many people talk to you if you have a guitar or a printer *-)

oooh and after 3 weeks of studying popular music i have written a new song which exploits everything I've learnt so far manipulating it into something I'm interested in saying, so am going to be doing a lot of recording with my friend a few doors down.

essentially I'm making good connections and doing good things, impressing tutors by asking irritating questions (the philosophy teacher is gonna hate me soon i think he he he he he) and yeah just having good fun, learning some schtuff and heading off. cos i should probably get some of this work done on my day off :-P
