The art of getting by…

I think its a movie actually but I haven’t seen it, my reason for the statement (aka unseen movie…) is a lot more uncertain as I’m sure the movie with it’s directors and producers, and actors et al had a grand script of sorts that allowed them to meander through whatever plot, sub plot(s) and general context the movie has at its core with some ‘artiness’, ‘coming of age, epiphany like moments at crucial times etc etc. all coming together is the final 5 to 10 minutes, and then it all made sense in some (undefined) sorta way!
Mine ain’t like that…life is like a reaction, things happen, we react, next thing happens, we do, we plan but that generally gets fukced by what the world has planned (strange how its generally in stark contradiction to our plans), we react, we survive, seldom really live, and then we hope like hell we’ve done enough (not quite sure what), said enough (what and to whom still remains a fuzzy notion to me) to allow us some sense of achievement ( a life well lived), but on whose terms and to what ‘greater good’? Ours, the world’s or some grey area in between… and so on.

Beauty is perception...

When I see photos like this I wonder why it is that we crave so diligently things that contradict the beauty so evident! Is it only the lucky few who seek out and live this life where beauty is so innate to one's living who appreciate the levity of their life? We others desire so much 'stuff' that all else is compromised most notably our state of senses, our sense of being, our world so one dimensional that we lose our souls to it's linearity... And in doing so we lose ourselves and the opportunity to appreciate and experience true beauty in the world!

My new Poddy 2nd Gen

After knocking Apple for yrs I've taken the plunge, suffice to say it's truly awesome! I was the first to say NO! not an Apple, iTunes sux , iPods are overpriced etc etc. But after taking the plunge (traitor that I am) I hav e to say it really is an unbelievable device, and so much more than a mere MP3/4 player, the 2 nd Gen has a faster processor compared to the 1st Gen (& iPhone 3G) its slimmer, now with a full aluminium back (iPhone & 1st Gen has plastic backs), in built speaker and external volume buttons. Battery life is boosted to with 35 odd hours of music playing and about 5 to 6 hours video playback, if you use it for a lot of WiFi and gaming it's battery life comes down to 2 to 3 hrs (constant use). And the intuitiveness and seamlessness with which app's work and function is in a league of its own, seriously. The reason I took the plunge... besides the glorious design is the fact that we have a App Store in SA now so applications and games can...
