I've been away for a quite some time now. Really trying to cure this disorder from plaguing me every now and then. But here is my come back treat. I've gathered so much so I'll be cloud-bursting it to you guyz. Here is one I really like. The concept wasn't original (kazan, wrote this novel btw) but the movie along with the cast gives a certain zest to it. So Enjoy!

Finally, he makes a breakthrough and creates a character named Ruby who inspires him. When Calvin finds Ruby (Kazan), in the flesh, sitting on his couch about a week later, he is completely flabbergasted that his words have turned into a living, breathing person.

wry, risqué and real

"Life has a gap in it, it just does. You don't go crazy trying to fill it..." - Geraldine


There is a purpose in everything...  In life a simple gap can either ignite something from stale to something hot. The big question is can we fill in the gaps or should we leave it as it is. Like for a relationship that goes bad, or stale, some people do a little dance. They keep moving, keep trying, keep searching for that spark to rekindle what was once great excitement. And that is the dance they do in Take This Waltz, a somewhat illogical look at a romance headed into parts unknown. So are you ready to take this waltz?

Take this Waltz.

Is a 2011 Canadian comedy-drama film. The film centers around Margot, a 28 year old freelance writer who lives in a charming house on a leafy street in the Little Portugal section of Toronto, as she struggles with and examines her feelings for Lou, her husband of five years, while exploring a new relationship with Daniel, an artist and rickshaw driver who lives across the street. 

Margot (Williams) meets Daniel (Kirby) while on a business trip, and although they immediately share some chemistry, she reveals to him that she is married. However, it turns out that Daniel is living across the street from Margot and her husband Lou (Rogen) in Toronto. Although Lou and Margot appear happy together, it becomes clear that Margot is not completely satisfied with her marriage, possibly aggravated by encountering Daniel. She is initially resistant to Daniel's advances, but as the film progresses they interact more and more until she ultimately leaves her husband to be with him. Lou is saddened, yet understanding. The audience is then shown a montage of Margot's new life with Daniel, including several brief sex scenes. As the film ends, there is some indication that Margot is not satisfied with her new life either.

FOI

"The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know." - Pres. Harry Truman

SOPA/PIPA. From WIKI's description of Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a United States bill introduced by U.S. Representative Lamar S. Smith (R-TX) to expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. & The PROTECT IP Act (Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act, or PIPA) is a proposed law with the stated goal of giving the US government and copyright holders additional tools to curb access to "rogue websites dedicated to infringing on counterfeit goods", especially those registered outside the U.S.

This issue has really has taken its toll these previous week, as an ardent web enthusiast scouring the search engines for free torrents & links are pretty much tedious nowadays. Since there are lots of links that are mostly blocked or removed due to violation of terms & services - better yet for piracy or infringement, aside from bogus links which where the problem before if you don't know their hookups. Piracy, can the American government really stop it by using their SOPA & PIPA? Further analysis from recent blogs indicate that they can and they will but the prohibition includes only within their territory. Overseas sites like Pirate Bay & MegaUpload can still be accessed though since they aren't covered within the prohibition. So whats the use of it? Picture it this way when SOPA/PIPA is passed, this will be the result when you google search :

                              

Now what could be worse than this?? Cyber-world controlled by media outlets and their respective lobbies. As such, letting people have a glimpse of SOPA/PIPA's underlying prohibition is a must since cyber-world is more on freedom of information. Imagine going back to the 50's to the 80's where there is no Internet, no facebook, twitter, wiki, google, free ebooks  (now what would be the use of kindle, nook & e-readers).  By taking part of the anti-SOPA & PIPA campaign we can still stop this from happening. Let Digital age rule as it is because there is also worry that SOPA and PIPA could be abused and lead to censorship for purposes other than the entertainment industries intellectual property protection.

that which we manifest is before us

The Art of racing in the rain. This story is narrated by Enzo based on his views of life , the nature of it along with its complication and the oftentimes criticism of human thinking - since he is a philosopher. But what really gives this book an edge to other novels is that the main character, Enzo is not a human but a mix lab terrier dog. With this book we could take a peek on a dogs perspective of life, the theory of man's evolution and monkeys.

The novel follows the story of Denny Swift, a race car driver living in Seattle, and his dog Enzo, who believes in the Mongolian legend that a dog who is prepared will be reincarnated in his next life as a human. Enzo sets out to prepare, with The Seattle Times calling his journey "a struggle to hone his humanness, to make sense of the good, the bad and the unthinkable." Enzo spends his days watching and learning from television, gleaning what he can about his owner's greatest passion, race car driving — and relating it to life. Enzo eventually plays a key role in Denny's child-custody battle with his in-laws, and distills his observations of the human condition in the mantra "that which you manifest is before you.

requiem for a dream

White noise. As HowStuffWorks dissect its meaning - " The adjective "white" is used to describe this type of noise because of the way white light works. White light is light that is made up of all of the different colors (frequencies) of light combined together (a prism or a rainbow separates white light back into its component colors). In the same way, white noise is a combination of all of the different frequencies of sound. You can think of white noise as 20,000 tones all playing at the same time. Because white noise contains all frequencies, it is frequently used to mask other sounds. If you are in a hotel and voices from the room next-door are leaking into your room, you might turn on a fan to drown out the voices. The fan produces a good approximation of white noise. Why does that work? Why does white noise drown out voices? Here is one way to think about it. Let's say two people are talking at the same time. Your brain can normally "pick out" one of the two voices and actually listen to it and understand it. If three people are talking simultaneously, your brain can probably still pick out one voice. However, if 1,000 people are talking simultaneously, there is no way that your brain can pick out one voice. It turns out that 1,000 people talking together sounds a lot like white noise. So when you turn on a fan to create white noise, you are essentially creating a source of 1,000 voices. The voice next-door makes it 1,001 voices, and your brain can't pick it out any more."

Dream music for me is like a White noise, it help stimulate my bainwaves so that I could fall asleep. It blocks all noise in the background and noises in my head. By that I have certain lists of dream music in my playlist that I would like to share ( courtesy of my cousin who introduced me to 8tracks, who have an epic mixes) Just check the playlist at the right side of the panel.
