He nearly ran away. No kidding. I took him out and the front gate was wide open because my dad didn't shut it. But I closed it just in time. I infer that this lifts the curse off me visiting my blog. It is after all, MY BLOG.
I think, instead of blogging on a daily basis, I'll do it weekly. Because right now, after a week of not blogging, I've got a lot on my mind. I'm going to divide this post into sections. If the section doesn't interest you move on to the next one. then let me know by voting on the sidebar. Drop a comment if you like, I'm feeling lonely:(
****Subhash's life stories****
Like I said, Hector(my dog) nearly ran away, but I closed the gate just in time. Then I played with my other dog. Suddenly, I saw Hector running back. I pulled out a treat and saw him licking his lips. Then I saw that his nose and the front of mouth was bleeding profusely! Got damn scared. WTH! so I locked him back and checked out the spot he was hanging out at. Full of bougainvillea plants. With nearly inch long thorns. He must have been sniffing around and got knifed by it. Poor son of a bitch. Literally.
****Subhash is tone deaf****
I haven't practiced on the drums ever since I set up the practice set. Instead I'm playing piano! Why the hell am I playing the piano? I don't know. All I know is I learned like 2 Sonatinas in the space of a fortnight! Full of mistakes la, but still for someone who hasn't touched a piano in 2 years, I think it's not bad.
That's not showing off by the way. Showing off would be saying something like:
I can play drums like Lars Ulrich back in 1989.
Because I just realized how friggin good he was back then.
Strange thing is, he peaked and dropped in the space of 2 years.
Before '89, he was average, learning new skills and stuff.
When Metallica's ...And justice for all debuted, every heavy metal drummer went "OMG".
Of coarse, by today's standards, with Chris Adler, Gene Hoglan, Dave Lombardo and all those semi gay, passable metal bands like Slipknot, Avenged 7X, Boys 2 Men, N'sync out there making killer speed grooves and beats, Ulrich would be left behind.
But that's the thing, he was a pioneer in heavy metal drumming. A lot of people think heavy metal drumming is all about going fast and going loud. But in '89, Ulrich killed that. Check out the songs off that album if you'd like to know what I'm talking about.
Too bad, right after that album, Lars Ulrich dropped to an all time low. He claims that the whole band was sick of trying to not make mistakes on stage, because their music was getting too complex for a bunch of young musicians to be playing on stage. They couldn't have fun on stage anymore, they had to concentrate on the music. So they just got slow, bluesy and kinda lame basically. Haha, they did get some decent tracks though throughout the 90s. Their epymonous 5th studio album being my all time favourite.
****Subhash acting smart(act only)*****
I had an interesting chat with my dad the other day. About a Friedrich Nietzsche. Go ahead, wiki him. Everyone does anyway. So, turns out this Nietzsche fellow had views on the world somewhat parallel to mine.
How is that a problem? For the most part, it's not. But, it was Nietzsche himself that proposed an idea that eventually led to socialism, fascism, and Aryan supremacy beliefs of Nazi Germany.
His idea of life, values and his thoughts regarding religion and politics are so akin to mine, but so so so so much more complex and perplexing.
Towards the end of his life he went mad after contracting syphilis according to my dad. Dunno if Wiki says the same.
So right now, my most sought after book is Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche himself. Can't wait! Have to make sure it's in English though.
Another part of my chat was about the conflicting views of religion and science. First time talking about something so serious with my dad. But I'd always wanted to, so I took the chance. The following short conversation ensued:
Dad : Nietzsche believed that Man created God.
Sub : Would you say that's an impossibility?
Dad : Until it is proven that Man created God, there is no reason to believe that.
Dad : Nietzsche says that since God is imaginary, men who are stronger will triumph over the weak.
Sub : So since God is NOT imaginary, every one is equal? Wouldn't that make believing in God akin to Communism and Not believing in God akin to Capitalism?
Dad :
Dad : Nietzsche died of insanity after contracting syphilis.
Sub : Wow.
Ok, I can't remember the exact words used, but I'm quite sure I got the main parts out.
I personally think I had a valid argument. Communism deals with all human beings being equal no matter what privileges you might have. Religion says all humans are equal when all money, social status, etc is not counted. Generally, religion and Communism benefit the weak and poor, but instead limits the rewards to those who have the capability to strive. Capitalism on the other hand relies on the poor and backwards races not reaping the benefits just because they lack the talent/funds/genetics/ethnicity to beat the people who exploit their supremacy. In a sense that means, if you've got something someone else doesn't have, you are a better/more successful human than the other guy. Which generally benefits the born-rich, born-talented and the hardworking.
I choose capitalism. any day. Until the day I lose it all, then, I would choose Communism.
OH, and vote Obama.
Black/caressable brown supremacy!
That's all folks.
remember the poll.
