الآن في إسبوعها الثاني، دراما “HERO“  تواجه طريقاً صعباً بالتقديرات المنخفضة جداً حتى على الرغم من أن المشاهدون يمدحون الدراما.

انخفاض الأعداد مفهوم جداً هذا الإسبوع، حيث أن دراما “IRIS” مازلت تستمر بقوة و دراما “You’re Beautiful” إنتهت بتقديرات عالية بنسبة 11.9 %. و بإعتبار أن هذا الشجار الثلاثي دخل في النهاية ذاتها، كان سيكون من المستغرب لو أن “HERO” تقدمت بنسب عالية هذا الأسبوع!. مع ذلك، إلا أن تقدير 3.9%  لحلقة يوم الخميس أمر موجع. (تقديراتها بدأت في إتجاه نزولي، بدء من 5.4%، تلاها  4.9 %, 4.4%، و من ثم 3.9 %. )

Lee Joongi تلقى إنتقادات إيجابية على تمثيله، لكن على نقيض التوقعات، وجود اسمه في العمل لم يحدث التأثير المطلوب. ذكرأحد المصادر من الدراما: “لأن الأعمال الدرامية على المحطات الأخرى قوية، توقعنا مواجهة صعوبة في الجزء المبكر. نعتقد بأن لأن القصة مسلية والتمثيل جيد، بعد إنتهاء “You’re Beautiful”، تقديرات المشاهدة سترتفع بشكل تدريجي.”

من الناحية الأخرى، المشاهدون الذين يتابعون الدراما يستجيبون بشكل إيجابياً جداً. تسلسل القصة الرومنسي من طرف Lee Joongi مع Yoon So-yi بدأ في التعمق،و كما هو الحال في المعركة بين صحيفة النخبة الكبيرة Daese Ilbo مقابل فريق Lee Joongi للمستضعفين في Yongdeok Ilbo.

من اليوم و رايح راح أكتب اسمه Lee Joongi بدلاً عن Junki!! كنت ابغا اعملها من زمان “>_> بس ما فضيت لها(تحتاج اعادة ترتيب)..المهم التصنيف حتى تغير..لا تتفاجؤ! لأن الجديد هو الأصح….

Since I am at the gym everyday I hear some pretty funny stories from you guys about the lengths you have gone to get your crossfit fix in for the day. My favorite is someone, who shal remain nameless, leaving there 10 year old in charge of the house so they can go and work out. What is your funniest crossfit story or the craziest thing you have done to get your crossfit fix in for the day. Write your story in the comments section, you can be anonymous if you so choose. I want to hear some good ones.

Pllymouth Rock www.plymouthrock.tv/rock/facts.html

Three years ago, I accompanied Joe on a business trip to Massachusetts and was so excited to finally get to visit the place I had read about 40 years ago. And although I had plenty of time to explore the Plymouth area, unfortunately many of the sites are closed in December, but I visited what I could. One of my first stops was Pilgrim Hall, the museum established and built in 1824.

Pilgrim Hall - I call it the Politcally Correct Palace

It was politically correct to the Nth, nauseating degree. I couldn’t believe it. They kept emphasizing that all those stories we read before were false; of course that was before the enlightened ones starting writing the history books.

(A few years before that we’d been to the Smithsonian and I was absolutely shocked at how PC it was. The exhibit on World War II was overwhelmingly focused on the Japanese internment. What little space that was devoted to the American GI was negative. It described that everywhere our soldiers went, there was rape, venereal disease and unwanted, half-American children.)

(I had better cover myself here because I don’t have a lawyer on retainer – the following is my opinion. Liberals tend to be sensitive and lawsuit happy.)A rhetorical question:are the same jaded, hair-shirt-wearing, self-flagellating, over-educated nincompoops in charge of all the museums dedicated to the American experience?

Please, say it isn’t so.

View of the bay, Plymouth, Massachusetts

Even the unofficial town website doesn’t have any history, but they do have another one of those little boxes. They aren’t warning us about hate. It tells us about International Day of Climate Action! (exclamation mark theirs).

But there is hope! (exclamation mine) The following quotes are from an article from the Plymouth Guide titled Putting the Thanks back in Thanksgiving – New book embraces treasured Pilgrim saga.

Hooray for the Plymouth Guide.

A big double hooray for Jeremy Bangs.

“Strangers and Pilgrims, the 928-page history of the Pilgrims by Jeremy Bangs, explores the religious and political foundations of the Pilgrims in England and Holland and finds historical basis for much of the treasured Pilgrim tradition.”

“Bangs, for instance, points to the false notion that the Pilgrims never referred to themselves as Pilgrims. While some have suggested the name was invented in the 19th century, Bangs said the title of his book, Strangers and Pilgrims, comes from a quotation published by Robert Cushman in 1622.”

“Bangs said he has no stake in how the story plays out, but admits he is amused to see so many of the original notions about the Pilgrims have proven to be more or less accurate.”

If I had it to do all over again, I’d still go through the exhibit, because it does contain the actual belongings of the Pilgrims which is incredible to me, but I’d ignore their little plaques signs and explanations.

Doll from Mayflower passage, 1620

I wonder who made it. Mary? Her mother? In England or Holland? Maybe on the Mayflower itself.

As a lover of textiles, I consider it a real American treasure.

Across the road is an old cemetery. Some thoughtful person had placed flags on the graves of U.S. military veterans.

This headstone marks the grave of a Revolutionary War soldier.

Cranberry bog - near Middlleboro Massachusetts,

And incidentally, if it’s a can of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce that you open on Thanksgiving, you might be interested to know that O.S. is not a corporation – it’s an agricultural cooperative of the growers. If you ever find yourself in Middleboro or Lakeview, Massachusetts, give yourself a treat and go see the Ocean Spray headquarters. A winding drive, the little bridge over the stream with swans swimming on it and the white colonial style building, it is the nicest business office I’ve ever seen.

Here in our region we have Big Lot stores, and they’re pretty good, but I’ve never seen anything like Ocean State Job Lots. I could spend hours in that store. Just take an extra suitcase and a little extra cash is all I have to say. I bought everything from poppy seeds to gourmet snack items to dishes to stamp pads to tools and blenders in there – all at very good prices.

Going into Benny’s in Raynham, Massachusetts was like time travel for me. In 1950’s and 1960’s Tulsa, we had OTASCO stores (Oklahoma Tire and Suppy Company). Benny’s is so like them I could’ve believed I was a kid again. From the traditional looking shopping center and sign out front to the smell when I walked in the door, I felt like I was in a time warp and I enjoyed every minute of it. I actually did a lot of Christmas shopping there, too. If I lived in that area, Benny’s would be one of my regular stops.

Coming back around to the history of the region, the people of New England are so blessed to be surrounded by history everywhere;this region is absolutely rich with roots in our country’s founding and early days. I wish New Englanders viewed that as something to be treasured rather than something to be embarrassed about.

This is an annual event that i always go to every year. Its good to see that the turn-outs are becoming better as the year goes by. Its always a good look for me i advise you if you are into the vintage clothing scene to check it out.  You can find out by going to the event why for the select few veiw this is a lifestyle rather than a fad.

And here is some footage from the event. It was funny watching it because i spotted myself in the footage. Im only in there for a couple of a seconds but it was funny to me nonetheless. Enjoy the footage….peace.

My most favorite movie series is called “Band of Brothers: The men of Easy Company”.  In this series of movies your truly get to experience what it was like for a group of young men that go from training to be soldiers to becoming battle hard veterans and heros to their country.  I encourage you to take the next few moments to just share in the words that they share about their battles and their lives.

It is the statement that Dick Winters makes at the end of this clip that gets to me the most.  ”I served in a company of heros!”  Won’t it be great at the end of your life to be able to say that you served or you did life together in the company of men that you can call heros.  Heros to their wives, heros to their children, and heros in their faith.  I pray that you are able to find that “Band of Brothers” that you may walk through life’s battles together.

Who can you go to when the battle is on?

Notes on Student Protest: Lancaster, Friday 13^th, 2009

Revolt against the false fathers, teachers and heroes…

- Herbert Marcuse (1966)

A phrase haunts my mind… Tragic though it undoubtedly is, it sounds very fine. But it is inaccurate:

“We  will recuperate our own protest”

Today I went with stupid hope in my heart to join with student protest in Lancaster. Slightly late, I ran down the street, toward the marching banners. The protest, as all who were there must know, was against the current Higher Education system: against raising fees, against removing the fee cap, and for “fairer funding”. The protest was organised primarily by LUSU (Lancaster University Student Union – NUS) members – and I really am truly thankful to them for having got people out there on the streets.

We walked up through the town, chanting, turned and crossed onto Dalton Square, to stand opposite the Town Hall. It was a good cheerful atmosphere: jubilant, cheeky, youthful. Let me say now that this is where my alliance lies: with youth, irreverence, solidarity. In the mass there is an energy analogous to that of those green shoots we have all watched at high-speed, bursting concrete and sealed boxes. It is this energy that is the essence of protest, and it is this that links in solidarity all who struggle.

It is also this that scares the living shit out of those who rely upon and nurture the system. We are as puny as those green shoots, whilst they wield armies, nuclear weapons, and worse – that deadly crushing weight that is bureaucracy: which has blinded and deafened our powers of empathy and analysis, asphyxiated autonomy, and which finally has come to stand over us, leering busily, rusted gutting knife in hand, cutting out of us the corrupted remains of our imagination. It often seems that all that we have left to us is that lingering libidinal energy; but it is exactly this that the bureaucratic system can neither master nor contain (only divert, distract, diffuse).

The truth of this struck me today, witnessing that we no longer know even what it is we want, our desires have been so manipulated. A further painful insight: as students we have reproduced in our own system the very structures of power and of governance that we oppose. What is student “democracy” but a flimsy facsimile of British “democracy”? What are our NUS leaders but children aping their bullying fathers? LUSU, in its current form, is nothing but a playground for wannabe MPs. (Did you hear, did you hear today, if it wasn’t obvious already, Ben Wallace’s condescending comment? Perhaps he is more astute than he looks. It was something close to: “I’m sure one day Michael [Payne, LUSU President] will make a great MP, though unfortunately he wants to join Labour”.)

What did we achieve today? Perhaps we should ask first what we lost today. We should ask why it is that we crave leadership so badly that we reproduce the Master/mastered relationship in every aspect of our political lives. Perhaps we should question why it was that we were as a crowd so willing to start singing: “Ben Wallace is our hero”, when, if you were able to hear clearly, there can not have been a single aspect of Ben Wallace’s little speech that you can have agreed with.

What did Ben Wallace’s speech contain? More of the same: wait until the HE Review is out; you students should think of yourselves as consumers of education; be unhappy little consumers, but be patient little consumers.  Does he not know how the word “consumers” insults our pursuit and, more importantly, the bond between us and our tutors? Does he not know that we have no faith in the powers of any government review? Does he not know that we despise him and his words; surely MPs must know by now that they are hated?

Why do we collude with this? Why do we try and work within the system? Why use “democratic” means? It is these professional politicians, this system, and this sham-democracy that chains us. And yet we have accepted its judgments and promises? I would rather we had achieved no pledge signing today; I would rather we had failed with dignity. I would rather we had maintained our own sincerity intact, refusing to collaborate, our aim being only to express our anger and our hatred at the system, and joyful solidarity with each other.

As it is, that haunting phrase – “we will recuperate our own protest” – remains inaccurate, because there is nothing to recuperate. We set out already recuperated; we never stood outside of the system, from the beginning we only reinforced it.

Of course, it is easy for me to say this; in that crucial moment I lacked the courage to shout out:

“What ever happened to free education?”

and

“Fuck Fees; Fuck MPs!”

and

“Education is not for sale!”

and

“Students, not consumers!”

and simply

“Fuck you!”

I lacked cojones at the critical moment. I chickened out. Now I am consigned to a negative role; I didn’t manage to assert a presence, a positive force. Now I’m ashamed, and bitter, and really fucked off.

In future, let us not ask for our Lords and Masters to be clear with us, so we can participate in their system. Let us demand free education, and full funding for universities, students and academics. In fact, let us demand wider change, in solidarity with the struggles of others throughout the world. Let us reject politicians and their rhetoric, spit out their language, shit on their terms, revile their system, and participate in our own way. Let us no longer demand, in fact, but act: let us bring about a revolution!

Love and solidarity!
