Fair Horizons

I am the stone the mason refused.
The visual recalled by the recluse.
The mind the talented chose to plagiarize and abuse..the bullet from your gun.
The choice that can't be undone!

King at Last

Getting there at last. Closer by the day. While they sleep I creep, gaining ground by the week.

Racist MoFo's

I left you behind, a stain.
An even bigger pain.
You remind me of cheap champaign.
All bubbles and no substance, like your racist rhetoric.
It's seeping through.
You a dumb ass too.
Clogging up the Arteries of my home-land.
And you introduced a wack boy band.
Flush you out, no doubt.
Leave you at the border.
No phone, all alone!

Flick dirt in your face with my Honda....

Juan the Man

He did it. He got the promotion. Good man! Looking forward to the next few months. Life is gonna be interesting for sure. Met some interesting people. A crazy lady who keeps trying to justify her existence to me.
King at last!

My Soul is For Sale


Soul For Sale! Just hook me up with this bad ass piece of space age tech. I have another soul to throw in to the bargain too. Juan will be cool with it! Once he sees what we get in exchange for something we never really understand or know if its real. Monopoly money, really. Lets not tell that to the Italian Maestros who put crafted this tribute to "motoring definition"! If they want a soul or two, they can have ours...
Sesto Elemento indeed! & the 6th element in the periodic table is Carbon. Yes! A composite of Carbon fibre and some other exotic materials that the wizards at Lamborghini and Boeing conjured up..... £1950000, no paint or dash board by the way and the seats, well they are just a few cushions fastened to the interior of the vehicle. You have to admit thought. It's amazing to look at. I bet it stirs and wakens something in you. Something primal!
I don't think they even offer a stereo on this model. Do you need one, when you can listen to 10 cylinders knocking out a perfect German symphony? And you get to see the engine vibrate, violently in your rear view as you rev the power-plant!
Equipped with a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission with paddle shift and AWD, mated to a 5.2 litre V10 engine, generating 570 HP, weighing a mere 999 KG resulting in a phenomenal power to weight ration only Gods have POSSIBLY realised. It's the lightest car Lamborghini has ever produced.
Lamborghini claims a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time of just 2.5 seconds. 

THAT'S BETTER THAN A CHEETAH & I LIKE CHEETAHS!

Music To Catch Fish By

I've been looking fo new music and kep delving into artists I knew. I went down the rout of collaborators with my favorites and found Dan The Automator. He provided the beats on Kool Keith's Dr Octogon album. Crazy trancy beats with Keith's usual descriptive lyrics. This track is from Automator's Bombay the Hard Way album, The Gambler.

Watch "R.D. Burman - The Great Gambler OST (Bombay The Hard Way)" on YouTube

Hope you enjoy!
As for the fish. Got a skinny one from the pond. Not sure if Juan likes her.... PS: just found out, the above mentioned album may have been removed from circulation due to copyright infringement of the original music by Kalyanji-Anandji Virji Shah, Bollywood composer duo from the 70's. Awesome!

It's Working!

Shit, and more shit. 3rd attempt. Heard this tune on a German Jazz station. Awesome!

Watch "Ismail Miraux - Theme from Axel F" on YouTube

In other news. Juan's lodger left last night so low cash flow. He needs that promotion and I need a free mind. Time to motivate the boy. Oh, the running is showing very positive results. Keep on running!

I'm Running

Got the trainers, 2 runs this week. Got to get those reviews back up. Juan is feeling the goodness too. Glad we are both onboard.
Caught up with friends and had a relaxing time, shame Juan had to come go back to work. There are better things to do. If you are board, go for a run.

Random Bug

Strolling in the garden one morning or afternoon and saw this little guy. Beautiful pearlescent blue and a raised tail in defense by the looks. Life has wonder..

Red 666 & An Expensive Gucci Bag

Red wine, 666 Park Avenue (titivating) and the flu banging at my front door. What to do? Gucci bag just about ready (more cash than I care to declare to myself) and fingers crossed the faithful replacement will hold until I off-load her.
Bond is out soon and would really like to see it in the cinema.
Must wage war on my weed situation- it is literally killing me!

Cheap red wine is only as good as you make it!

The Shit People Say

Just on Monday this week, Karase tweeted Branson saying: “Get in touch Richard, it’s been too long.”
He doesn’t appear to have received a reply.
Zimbabwe con man's brother boats his 'friendship' to Richard Branson on Twitter. Ha ha!!

The World in my Hands

I needed a new phone. Went online for one and got myself a Tablet Pc as a free gift with my contract, the HTC Flyer. The reviews pitch it against the iPad 1. I used the iPad 2 on Tuesday. My Flyer is as good.
Embracing the Tablet revolution took me some time. I work facing the general public and seeing them armed with some kind of tablet or other simply put me off. I can't put mine down. If its looking up something, downloading an app or just tweeking my home screen to just how I want it, then change it all again is FUN.
I find the internet more useful, accessible and richer with a Tablet interface and all the apps designed to make info-finding much more efficient. Productivity is up and so is creativity.
I am a fan of the Tablet. So far I champion Android. Come on Windows and Apple: let us do what we want with a Tablet 'we own'.
This technology puts the world, literally in my hands.

The God Damn Goddess

 
Hi folks, I'm back. It's me in the flesh. 
Don't know if you love me yet. But, I'm a patient man so we can talk about that later. Can anyone tell me about what is going on in Wall Street? What are they protesting about? Are they for capitalism or something else. Yes, I know, I should just Google it. I just haven't gotten around to it and this way I might get am interesting answer.

Sad about Steve Jobs leaving us. He gave a boring heap of elements style. Even when he appeared not to posess it. Great guy. Still don't want an iPhone but an iPod Touch is another matter - equating to Homer and doughnuts or beer.


eBay has been a feature this week. 6 items for just over £50. The steal was a black pair of Adidas Stan Smith for £20 free p&p. These babies retail for over £50. And hopefully my wing mount speakers and covers will arive this week. Seller has been delaying tonight's excuse was, his lady is about to drop a sprog. I'm too nice. Not enough Darth Vader in me.

Time for my dinner. KFC with Italian Red Wine. Classy!!

Death of a Candle or Star

Credit: Google Images
Amy Winehouse 1983 - 2011, passed away today. Her death is mixed up with drink and drugs. Undisclosed if it was suicide or other. I will check again tomorrow but you will all know by then.
I first heard her on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross back in March 2004. I loved her voice and she looked fabulous I can't remember what song she performed but I do remember vigorously recommending her to friends. It could have been Frank.
I only ever liked the Frank Album so did not really pay attention to her after that. I never knew who Pete Doherty was or The Libertines. I read about her getting mashed mostly.
But somehow somewhere, I hoped she could recapture the purity of Frank, come back to Earth and bestow upon us what we rightly deserved. Good music!
The airways are currently filled with condolences and I have spotted a "Best Friend" in the name of Kelly Osborne who Tweeted that she knew the real Amy and will never forget her. Yea, she knew exactly what went on. Is someone looking for publicity? I know I am. Some are calling her a "lost soul" or "poor creature". OK, but she did it to herself just like I afflict myself knowingly. I understand the consequences to myself and those around me. It is my choice. Just as I presume it was her choice to embrace the life-style she chose. Let us not forget, she had access to good medical care.
It is sad when we are robbed of talent. I sometimes wonder what Bob Marley would be producing today or would he have simply retired on the day he was meant to die? And I ask, can we really own talent? Or do we just borrow it for a while and it is rescinded without notice.

RIP Amy.

Music Review

Artist: Bobbi DeNiro
Genre: Hip Hop
Rating: 3/5

Downloaded this Album album yesterday on recommendation from the Author, Bobbi DeNiro who hails from Wilmington, Delaware USA.
Bobbi began his career as an inner city battle rapper in the Tri State area of Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland. During his earlier years he developed his musical skills and began making beats. More than your average rapper that produces or producer that raps, Bobbi also delves into engineering, artist development as well as video production to name a few of his talents.

Bobbi’s style is eclectic, but unlike other rappers of the same, he owns this projection. I enjoyed the simple yet deep lyrical flows. No WACK lines here!
I really enjoyed track 2: D.E.N.I.R.O and was bouncing to this beat, great lyrical flow and a BIG SOUND.
Track 6: I’m in Love with Money had me rocking my head from side to side. I really wanna mix this tune. Very wholesome I thought.
Track 11: Fuck all that Shit is what I like to call “Traffic Light Music”. Again big sound. I imagine my windows down at the lights, volume up. Green Light GO! Stop at the next lights in time for “Fuck all that Shit” and a big smug grin on my face.

Overall a good solid production, full of diversity in lyrics, beats and flow. Bobbi owns the eclectic lyrical style he employs. Vitual DJ here I come. However some tracks off this album “hang”, they don’t feel complete. It’s hard to explain but please don’t let this comment persuade you from steering away. I could say the same thing for the likes of Slum Village, as an example.
You have to get Bobbi’s music and follow his development. Bobbi got Skills.

Q&A
Q: Would I buy Pankakes & Porn?
A: Yes
Q: Would I recommend Bobbi DeNiro?
A: Yes
Q: Would I buy Bobbi a drink?
A: 4Sure

Quest for The Moon Goddess

Went to see the gate keeper after vowing never to see him again. He still looks great and an audience the Moon Goddess can't be all bad.

The Exploding Don Simon

Found a bottle of Don Simon Premium Clementine fruit juice in a crate belonging to a mate earlier. I'm returning said crate in a bit. Did not think anything of taking the top off to empty the bottle before I binned it. BANG! Exploded in my hands, juice everywhere- hands, walls and a lot of me. "Interesting", I thought. Smelt awfull but at some point it may have been a pretty decent fruit punch.
Now off to said mates birtday party. Hopefully a single, good looking lady will want to talk to me. More later...
