So last weekend I went to watch Up in the Air. A movie about a guy (Clooney) who fires people on behalf of companies (or as he likes to say: he helps people steer their boat through desperation towards the dim light of hope…before throwing them of the boat and telling them to swim).
His life [...]

“It’s not just my creation at this point, and it hasn’t been really for a long time, “I wanted it to be our creation. Once you set that in motion, it’s a large community of people gathered around a core set of values.”

Oasis are mad for the Beatles.
Little Steven has love for garage rock.
Nickelback are stuck in the Seatle grunge sound.
When it comes to inspiration I have to admit I am also stuck.
Certain albums, movies, books always seem to offer up deeper insight than the last time I checked them out.

McCain and Obama. Bare with me. From an archetypical point of view.
the US/Western voter is a Hyperchondriac (compared to 90% of the people of the world, in terms of problems)

McCain is the Surgeon.
O is centered around the mind and emotions.
He talks and he listens. He is a chance for all the people [...]

Lost in translation
June 21st, 2008 · 4 Comments
The web is discriminating. The victim is: ME! In all seriousness, I have noticed the last couple of weeks that somehow I do not translate well on to the www. Whether it is via this blog, comments elsewhere or skype talks, important elements of the person I am are getting lost when I digitze myself.
