Rush @ MindSay 
Also, I was rushing while I was putting on my mascara and fucking poked the shit out of my eyeeeeeee. :[
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage...
I find it so fascinating to be surrounded by people and yet be absolutely alone. All those who sit around me have no idea that I am writing about them as they chat with those they are here with or those who they are conversing with upon their hand-held electronic devices. And I sit and I watch and I learn – I am a stalker of mankind and no court can stop me from doing all that gives me enjoyment, a Peeping Tom of all that this life has to offer...
I will discover what your favorite sports team is or what type of music you enjoy or what causes you find important or how you feel about yourself and the amount of pride you take in your personal appearance. I will quickly discover if you are a native or if you have come to these parts from a land faraway. I may even find out what types of books or magazines you enjoy reading or what type of beverage you want to drink. And all this information is given to me freely whether you know it or not...
And the masses will never question my motivation nor will they ask to be removed from thoughts for I do as I please in this theater of the absurd...
And that is what this life is after all, theater on a grand scale and we all must play the roles we have been assigned even if we thought we could have played a much better Romeo or Juliette than the popular person who eventually was given that part. And much as Lear we scream into the advancing storm though we fully realize that this action is in vein and that no one will hear our screams. And though we wish that we had been cast into a musical we find ourselves starring in a Greek Tragedy. And such is to be expected for those who do not make it through this life on the casting couch of the infinite...
And all the writers want us to say lines that are so out of character for our parts. And the director's vision of the play is far different than the picture we have within our minds. And the critics will pick apart each and every imperfection in our performance. And the fans that we once had will not even remember what our name was...
And so from this drama I will take a bow though no one will notice nor will they care...
This is the Word of the AntiCrust...
Praise be ye who Read the Word for ye are Blessed amongst humans...
It's been a while since I last posted, and put any videos up on Youtube. It's been a very busy month, and very little of that has been music related. I went to the wedding of a very good friend, and it was one of the best weddings I've ever attended. We were very well looked after. Ferried around everywhere, so that we didn't have to worry about our alcohol levels :)
It took place on the Isle of Man. A highlight of the day was a tram that was hired out exclusively to transport us all to the peak of snaefell mountain. A bagpiper joined us. Together with plenty to eat and a sufficient supply of champagne.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was glad for the both of them that the event went so well.
I finally got back to doing a couple of cover songs. This one is another Coldplay tune called "Amsterdam". It featured on the album "A rush of blood to the head". This is one of my all time favourites of Coldplay. The vid just shows a collection of pictures. I admit I didn't spend much time on the vid, but the song was far more important to me :)
Check it out :)
There are a number other things I've been getting up to in the past month, though I'm not going to bother writing about it. It would fill several pages. I'm just going to crack on with the Youtube statistics.
I may have been neglecting my Youtube channel, but the numbers have still been increasing very well on their own.
I now have 806 subs. I was hoping to get to the 1,000 by the end of the year, but at this rate, it looks like it's going to pass that sooner.
Channel viewings are now up to 18,423. They are rolling along well.
Last, but by no means least. The total video views have inreased to 291,498. The 300k landmark is less than 2 weeks away now.
I've pre-recorded another song, and I'm hoping to make the video quite amusing. It is another song from the "Crash test dummies". I'm hoping I can put that up quite soon. Rather than wait another month :)
The music takes me back to junior high school. Back when I lived in Springfield, Missouri just across from the Missouri State Fairgrounds. One summer RUSH headlined the fair. It was something magical to hear Getty Lee in the humid air. We didn't have to go to the concert, we just played in the backyard to RUSH. It was a big deal to me because I wasn't allowed to listen to secular music. In fact anything that wasn't Christian or church related was forbidden in our house. So I guess if it wasn't for that magical summer night listening to RUSH, maybe I wouldn't be such a classic rock fan like I am today.
Incidentally, RUSH also reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons, swords and sorcery, chicks in chain mail, garden gnomes, and Lord of the Rings. Theirs is the soundtrack of imagination and escape from the ordinary world. And there was something about that album cover for 2112 -- the pentagram. It was the first time I ever saw one.
Anyone else have fond memories of RUSH and other classic rock bands?
Are you searching for something exciting and new?
Do you firmly believe it's there waiting for you?
When you sit and you ponder the "how" of it all,
Does it sometimes appear you're to answer a call?
>>A call? Like a phone? Are you nuts? That's bizarre!
>>Yet it feels very much like it's not very far...
>>...like perhaps I'm just missing that one little piece,
>>That elusive detail, almost mocking, a tease.
You're creative; You know it. Your life so attests.
But you cannot quite grasp that ultimate quest.
It's direction you seek, something firm, something true.
How will you know when you've clutched the right cue?
>>How will I know? By the way that it feels.
>>When no longer is there a nag at my heels.
>>A calmness will come, bringing with it a rush,
>>A settling excitement, like a hug, then a push.
You know how to detect it. You'll welcome the truth.
And you've known where to find it, e'er since your youth.
We're each one a creator, born with that gift.
The direction for none of us wanders adrift.
>>When I search from the inside, in quiet repose,
>>I learn secrets it seems that nobody else knows.
>>Why is it so easy to fall out of touch
>>With that innermost guidance that gives me so much?
And so you've recalled from whence it all comes --
Creative direction in all of its sums.
Nurture it, grow from it, bring from within
The wonderful wisdom...let vision begin!
