Fast Eddie: The pool game is over when Fats says it’s over…

It’s been a long time since my last post.

Well, Friendster blog v2.0 needs to be commended.

Here are some excerpts from the Article “Courtney Love Does the Math”.
Full article here.

The real pirate.
It’s piracy when the RIAA lobbies to change the bankruptcy law to make
it more difficult for musicians to declare bankruptcy. Some musicians
have declared bankruptcy to free themselves from truly evil contracts.
TLC declared bankruptcy after they received less than 2 percent of the
$175 million earned by their CD sales. That was about 40 times less
than the profit that was divided among their management, production and
record companies.

Who gets rich?
The four major record corporations fund the RIAA. These companies are
rich and obviously well-represented. Recording artists and musicians
don’t really have the money to compete. The 273,000 working musicians
in America make about $30,000 a year. Only 15 percent of American
Federation of Musicians members work steadily in music.

Who’s afraid of technology?
Recording artists have essentially been giving their music away for
free under the old system, so new technology that exposes our music to
a larger audience can only be a good thing. Why aren’t these companies
working with us to create some peace?There were a billion music downloads last year, but music sales are up.
Where’s the evidence that downloads hurt business? Downloads are
creating more demand.

More efficient way to promote.
Record companies don’t understand the intimacy between artists and
their fans. They put records on the radio and buy some advertising and
hope for the best. Digital distribution gives everyone worldwide,
instant access to music.

Support Courtney Love.
I want my seven-year contract law California labor code case to mean
something to other artists. (Universal Records sues me because I leave
because my employment is up, but they say a recording contract is not a
personal contract; because the recording industry — who, we have
established, are excellent lobbyists, getting, as they did, a clerk to
disallow Don Henley or Tom Petty the right to give their copyrights to
their families — in California, in 1987, lobbied to pass an amendment
that nullified recording contracts as personal contracts, sort of.
Maybe. Kind of. A little bit. And again, in the dead of night,
succeeded.)

The corporate filtering system, which is the system that brought you (in my humble opinion) a piece of crap like “Mambo No. 5″.

Music is a service to its consumers, not a product. I live on tips.
Giving music away for free is what artists have been doing naturally
all their lives.

I always hated Courtney because I thought she sorta had a hand in Kurt’s suicide. But after reading this article, she gets my respect. Salut!

It started with a kiss they say but then again some want their prince with coffee. Which is witch? Artificial beauty might be the choice for some but being in the academy is better.

Don’t take my word on it, big brother said so. But then again, nobody likes their idols to cook. This is why we should go back to where it started from.

Now, where was I?

From the looks of things, it’s still between the letters H and J. I could be wrong on this; this might be left not right you know. And I know where it belongs, in the English alphabet.

Pag tao walang magawa… ito ang resulta.

I’ve been waiting for this movie. Finally it will go on Phil cinemas on the 8th on January. Good thing I’ve got an advance copy (wink wink, sino may gusto alam nyo na sino hahanapin.. syempre yun kamag-anak ni Kapitan Jack Sparrow).

What can I say about the movie? It just proves that Will Smith is God. He once again saved the world from a disaster. He is the One.. not Neo. That’s the reason why he is the Legend.

Horror-wise, the movie has its suspense parts. Not that scary, but some parts will make you jump out of your seats.

Action-wise, the movie is great. Specially when the mutated humans attacked Neville’s house. It was Smith at his finest. Think of Bad Boys meet i-Robot. With all the gore.

Overall, it was entertaining. I would pay to watch the movie again. And again. And again. It was directed by the same guy that did Constantine. Ayus to, maniwala kayo. Kung ayaw nyo manood, akin nalang popcorn nyo.

Neville and Sam.. his only companion in the movie.

This was not part of the movie.. I smell a sequel..

Pasko na nga.
Anlamig kapag madaling araw.
Ngunit bat di ko ramdam ang pasko ngayong taon?

Kung mamatay ako nang hindi kita nakilala,
Hindi ako mamamatay
Dahil hindi ako nabuhay.

May mga romantiko pa bang buhay sa panahon natin ngayon? Madalas kase ang mga uri nila ay pawang niloloko lamang. Minsan di nila mapigil magpakatanga alang-alang lang sa pag-ibig.

Pero kung may buhay pang romantiko sa panahon natin ngayon, magpakilala ka naman sakin. Gusto kong maniwala ulit. Gusto kong mabuhay ulit.

by Pablo Neruda

What’s wrong with you, with us,
what’s happening to us?
Ah our love is a harsh cord
that binds us wounding us
and if we want
to leave our wound,
to separate,
it makes a new knot for us and condemns us
to drain our blood and burn together.

What’s wrong with you? I look at you
and I find nothing in you but two eyes
like all eyes, a mouth
lost among a thousand mouths that I have kissed, more beautiful,
a body just like those that have slipped
beneath my body without leaving any memory.

And how empty you went through the world
like a wheat-colored jar
without air, without sound, without substance!
I vainly sought in you
depth for my arms
that dig, without cease, beneath the earth:
beneath your skin, beneath your eyes,
nothing,
beneath your double breast scarcely
raised
a current of crystalline order
that does not know why it flows singing.
Why, why, why,
my love, why?
