You were my childhood

You are my memory

I don’t know how could

It end so… soon…

She gave to me birth

But You brought me up, You.

And when I see birds

I always think of You.

Took me to Forests

You took me near your Dreams

Treated me closest

And washed away my fears.

You showed me Freedom

And You showed me Beauty

You were my kingdom

You were my cruelty.

Taught me how to fight

You taught me to be fair

My strength, that You liked

For each other we cared.

I remember You

Remember everything

And that I love You

Isn’t yet anything

Each time I see You

I search for my childhood

And when I leave You

Let me go, if You would…

When I see Nature

I see your face clearly

And those strange creatures

Whisper your Name nearly

When Wind is blowing

I can still hear your words

Rivers are flowing

And Time destroys our Worlds

My heart is breaking

’Coz I should forget You

As You are fading

I insist more on… You.

I will always need You…

You were my childhood

You were my memory

Took me to Forests…

I will always need You!

With the recent software update to the palm pre it got me thinking that the palm pre is really starting to fade away as the droid and pixi coming out. If palm doesn’t start promoting the pre than soon sprint’s supposed savior is going to fade away.

El Fade 2010 ya está en marcha, y aunque con la edición de este año quedamos hasta el gorro de organizar en general, al final con los resultados tan positivos que hubo, hemos vuelto a caer en la tentación de perder dinero, tiempo y algo de paciencia. Como seguramente estaremos sin un duro para hacerlo, volveremos a tirar de amiguetes como en la edición pasada, y así poder hacer algo decente con poco dinero. No hay línea a seguir porqué con la poca pasta que contamos no tenemos ni para eso, pero sí que tenemos claro que hay que potenciar el tema audiovisual porqué en la pasada edición, se incluyeron las vídeoproyecciones como anécdota y al final triunfaron bastante, y nos quedamos con ganas de más. Justo ayer cuando hablábamos de esto, salió el tema que unos chicos que hicieron proyecciones improvisadas en polígono habían triunfado y mucho en el Ingràvid, que es un festival de cultura contemporánea que tuvo lugar por primera vez en Figueras, y que contó con ellos para un espectáculo exterior. Son el colectivo Telenoika de Barcelona, que a partir de una fotografía digital, y contando con la arquitectura novecentista del Teatro Jardí de la ciudad, se curraron estas proyecciones en la fachada que me han dejado flipado; después de la intro de la tele local, el espectáculo….

Back to our regularly scheduled program.  This week we have eight new videos by eight bands.  You’ll also find a poll at the very end.  Thanks goes out to International Wota for the Halloween shoutout, making last week’s column the most viewed yet!

PILLS EMPIRE- “Demophobia”

Another excellent artist from UK.PROJECT.  Their sound is hard to compare, but I settled with the telephones meets Nine Inch Nails.  If you’re into mysterious garage rock than this one’s for you.  Their debut album Mirrored Flag was released earlier this month and it rocks.  (myspace)

BIGMAMA- “かくれんぼ”

BIGMAMA is back with a new single from their third album.  Thankfully they didn’t steal any riffs from Jimmy Eat World this time. I actually liked this video a lot.  It features the lead vocalist walking around in his pajamas trying to kill himself.  But just in the nick of time, one of his band members replaces the murder weapon with pie or a banana. If you like violin soaked punk rock, BIGMAMA should be a no brainer. (myspace)

ar- “Love Lu Le Lo”

Ar is much more mellow than what I’ve come to expect from Thistime Records.  They’re one of those quiet acoustic bands with minimal experimentation.  This video is likewise quiet and peaceful, only featuring a man writing a letter, which I assume are the lyrics to the song. (myspace)

FREAKYFROG- “Pop Music”

I introduced FREAKYFROG a few posts back as being fronted by former BEAT CRUSADERS member umu.  Now they have released their first PV from their debut album.  This song and video remind me a lot of the telephone’s “Urban Disco.”  The amount of synthesizer on this song is much greater than on any of the previews I’ve heard from the album.  Regardless, I went ahead and ordered it and will receive it whenever YesAsia decides to ship it to me.  (myspace)

Sorry For A Frog- “Just Grow Up! Just Be Strong!”

Honestly, I just wanted to have two bands named after a frog in a row.  They remind me of Ken Yokoyama, which is never a bad thing.  The song comes from their second album Happy Songs For Somebody’s Happiness.  Thanks guys, that was very sweet.  (myspace)

DALLAX- “Six Rude Boy Machinegun”

DALLAX may have been skanking up Japan for the past 10 years, but this is the first time their “Oi” graced my ears.  It’s just hard not to have fun to this kind of music.  Kudos on the faux Twister board stage.  (myspace)

Hawaiian6- “Brand New Dawn”

I normally don’t listen to Hawaiian6.  But I was mesmerized throughout the video for one reason: Yuta’s epic beard.  How many Japanese men do you see with beards?  Just saying. (myspace)

fade- “So Far Gone”

I’ve always been wary of Japanese bands that recruit a white boy for lead singer.  It just seems like a gimmick to me.  But no doubt about it, having a singer that can actually sing in English will increase their marketability in Japan by tenfold, even if he’s not a looker.  They actually don’t sound that far off from Christian bands RED or Switchfoot.  Their sound is undeniably western, a perfect fit for American radio-waves but will Japan dig it?   (myspace)

To better serve you, please choose your top 3 videos from this week:

Have You Seen Smallville: Season 5 Episode 20 – Fade?

Episode Synopsis:

Standing outside the Metropolis courthouse with Chloe, Clark saves Graham Garrett from a car which would have crushed him. Graham insists to repay the favor by offering Clark whatever he wants, including the opportunity to be with Lana again by trying to kill Lex Luthor after Clark found out about heir affair. Graham later turns out to be a hired killer with chameleon powers that render him invisible. Clark also gets angry at Chloe for keeping Lana and Lex’s affair from him. When Clark realizes that Graham wants to kill Lex, Clark wrestles with a moral dilemma whether or not to let him.

So what do you think of this episode?

If you missed it, you can watch it here.

At the end of season 2, sadly Hoyt dumps Jessica (boo! his mama deserved to be bit). As a new vampire she’s already somewhat uncontrollable and try adding a teenager who just got dumped by her true love and we have trouble. The show leaves Jessica in a truckstop sucking the blood out of some trucker who thought he was in for a good time.
I decided to give Jessica a blood stained look. I used Orly Poison Apple, China Glaze Ravishing Dahling and a clear polish from Sally Hansen. I put Poison apple on the top fourth of my nail, then put a few dots of Ravishing Dah-ling on the nail and the Poison Apple. I used the clear to make faded technique, but made sure to leave the bottom of the nail clean.

Love was once mine, Once upon a dream~

Okay yeah that was random. You can’t blame me for being bored.

I have a story to tell~

Now everyone gather around and settle down.

Okay, I’m joking… Kind of…

Today was a pretty average day, civics presentation, science quiz, math review class, etc. But Today, I walked into my first perios class (history) with my teacher, first thing in the morning, and we found that the window in the classroom was broken. *ohhhh* Later on we found out someone had tried to break in, though I’m not entirely sure what you could steal from a classroom. ‘OH LOOKY HERE! I stole a pencil from my history class!!!!’ Yay? Either way, the window was broken, but some dude came into fix it so now it’s shiny and clear. THE END.

Ahahaha. Interesting eh? but seriously, what is there to steal in a classroom, especially a history classroom, unless you wanted an old map from W.W.I then I don’t see anything that could be worth stealing. Eh. Odd people think what they think, same with criminals, and window breakers.

Currently: Attempting math homework

A trecut o luna de cand nu am mai gasit timp sa scriu aici. Poate ca nici entuziasmul pe care il aveam la inceput nu mai e la fel de viu.Ma trezesc in situatii tot mai diferite care se astern unele langa celelalte fara sa se prinda de maini. Nu stiu in care dintre ele sunt EU. Sau poate ca sunt cu cate o parte a trupului, gandului sau a sufletului in fiecare.

Nu stiu. Nu stiu nici cand a venit toamna. Nu am timp sa privesc in jur. Frigul goleste strazile pentru ca eu sa le studiez in tihna.Frunzele se zbat sa isi parcurga cat mai lent drumul printre milioanele de nuante de adio numai pentru ca eu sa le citesc tainele.Ploile se concentreaza cat mai mult sa ma ude, sa imi dezvaluie racoarea lor.

In zadar.

Nu observ ca strazile sunt pustii, frunzele parca sunt tot la fel, iar de ploaie are grija umbrela sa ma adaposteasca.

Poate iarna va scimba ceva.Acum  pot doar sa sper.

today i will introduce you with jquery animations built in functions.

do you believe that the stars have a way,

of telling our stories,

can we wake up, she asks,

can dreams fade away,

time will pass,

as we hold onto our fables ,

written in sacred ink,

unseen, unheard…

till dust we became

until each star dies,

no bright light remains

do we wake up

can dreams fade away

I have been looking for this bar tape for months and google searches of ‘fade tape’, ‘faded bar tape’, and all other variations on the word ‘fade’ produced nothing!

‘Shade’ is the word I should have used folks and had I known that sooner it may have saved me a whole lot if time and heartache but anyway I have now found it.

It is called ‘Peltan Shade’ and it is made by Ciclolinea.

This ebay seller has a few NOS sets of them in various colours so if you have an eighties/nineties whip that you are looking to spruce up then look no further because this stuff really looks the business.

Ciclolinea Peltan Shade is also strangely reminding me of these: Nike Air ( Agassi ) Tech Challenge.

I think Potato’s ancient skid mark has finally faded

This isn’t me, it isn’t you

But we stand up all the time and chew

Up the time we need

And still not get it right.

Now I know from where you stand

I’d offer to you my extended hand

But you’d slap it back

In my face; call it a night.

So why on earth do we not

Just walk away

So why on earth do we not

Just fade to grey….fade away.

There was a time I heard before

But it’s a lie, a house of straw

In flames as is

Your twisted compromise

It’s time to settle as we always do

With nothing we want but

With what we take

And it’s driving me to die.

So why on earth do we not

Just walk away

So why on earth do we not

Just fade to grey….fade away.

At the end it’s up to you to

Make it right or make

It wrong and do what you do

And I’m just dead to you.

So why on earth do we not

Just walk away

So why on earth do we not

Just fade to grey….fade away.

YOUR DREAMS ARE NOT YOUR OWN.

“Wake” is the first book in a fantastic paranormal romantic trilogy and a New York Times Bestseller. Written by Lisa McMann, this book will have you hooked after reading the excerpt. It is just that good. Don’t believe me?? Read it….

For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people’s dreams is getting old. Especially the falling dreams, the naked-but-nobody-notices dreams, and the sex-crazed dreams. Janie’s seen enough fantasy booty to last her a lifetime.

She can’t tell anybody about what she does—they’d never believe her, or worse, they’d think she’s a freak. So Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she doesn’t want and can’t control.

Then she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is more that just a witness to someone else’s twisted psyche. She is a participant….

See what I mean?
It is a great story with a haunting concept. You won’t be able to put the book down. And of course there is Cabel, the handsome romeo who sweeps her off her feet, but it isn’t as perfect as it seems. Life is a long, bumpy road for Janie Hannagan and the only person she has to confide in is Cabel. He is the only person who knows her secret, who she can feel normal around.
The second book in the trilogy is “Fade”, and equally enthralling read that will keep you clinging to the pages, wondering what will happen. It has a killer cliff-hanger ending that will make you wish to speed up time for the release of the next book. “Gone”, the last installment of the trilogy comes out February and it can’t come soon enough.

I’m happy,

Even though my

Heart is broken,

Smile is fading,

Spirit is dying…

But I’m happy

Because you

Got your way,

Had your say,

Walked away,

Made my day.

Credits to uncrate.com for posting these 514’s up on their website. I own several pairs of Levi’s 514 jeans as my do-all-yet-look-good jeans. What I like about the 514 is the versatility of the fit because you can wear these tight as hell, you can get it baggy, or you can wear just right. I personally own about 4 good pairs of Levi’s 514 jeans in all different fits. In addition there are a ton of different washes. Speaking of washes, the Imprint 514 lets you control the fade and wrinkle on your 514’s. Pretty sweet.

“ISM was a shot in the arm,” said Brian Dolan, chief currency strategist at Forex.com. “A lot of risk trades are being put back on,” which weighed on the dollar.

The U.S. dollar has tumbled this year as investors have turned toward higher-yielding currencies and assets, such as Stocks, in the belief these would get a sharper boost from economic recovery. In recent weeks, some non-U.S. finance officials have mentioned the importance of a stronger dollar and its role in the recovery of economies that rely on exports to the U.S.

But such language was absent from the Group of Seven joint communique, released by developed nations‘ finance ministers at the close of their weekend meeting in Istanbul.

The greenback started off the U.S. trading session lower, playing off the communique’s no specific mention of the dollar. Instead, officials repeated that countries would continue to monitor foreign-exchange rates and welcomed China’s “continued commitment to move” toward more flexible rates.

AM Report: Hope Fades for Bright Q3

The News Hub panel discusses market expectations ahead of the Q3 earnings seasons, Bank of America’s emergency CEO plan, and how to track swine flu online.

“The G7 failed to mentioned U.S. dollar weakness, opting instead for a general warning against excessive volatility in currency markets,” said T.J. Marta, founder and chief strategist at Marta on the Markets, in emailed commentary. “Consequently, the U.S. dollar is down against most major currencies.”

Remarks by euro-zone officials last week had led to heightened expectations that the statement would include language specifically calling for a stronger dollar.

Remarks at the conference by Japanese Finance Minister Hirohisa Fujii signaled again that the government would step in if it believed the yen’s movements had become excessive, news Reports said.

“As I have said in Tokyo, we will take appropriate steps if one-sided movements become excessive,” he told a post-G7 joint conference, according to Dow Jones Newswires.

Strategists said those comments helped boost the dollar and other currencies against the yen. Fujii has in recent weeks issued repeated warnings about the willingness of Japan to intervene in foreign-exchange markets after having initially signaled comfort with the yen’s recent strength.

I can’t pass up a nice haircut chart. The appeal is the grid with many pictures, plus seeing the normal hairstyles placed next to the what-the …? ones. I’m not alone in my fondness; the haircut charts on the Brooklynpix blog are very popular.
