#Arthur W Ryder

[denimbex1986]

'Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan's sweeping new biographical thriller about the "father of the atomic bomb", has opened to a glowing reception around the world. In India, it's been a hit too but some have protested against a scene depicting the scientist reading the Bhagavad Gita, one of Hinduism's holiest books, after sex. Oppenheimer learnt the ancient Sanskrit language and counted the book as one of his favourites.

In July 1945, two days before the explosion of the first atomic bomb in the New Mexico desert, Robert Oppenheimer recited a stanza from the Bhagavad Gita, or The Lord's Song.

Oppenheimer, a theoretical physicist, had been introduced to Sanskrit, the ancient Indian language, and subsequently the Gita, as a teacher in Berkeley years before. More than 2,000-year-old, Bhagavad Gita is part of the Mahabharata - one of Hinduism's greatest epics - and at 700 verses, the world's longest poem.

Now, hours before an event that would change history, the "father of the atomic bomb" relieved his tension by reciting a stanza he had translated from Sanskrit:

In battle, in forest, at the precipice of the mountains

On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows,

In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame,

The good deeds a man has done before defend him

As Kai Bird and Martin J Sherwin write in their authoritative 2005 biography American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J Robert Oppenheimer, a young Oppenheimer was introduced to Sanskrit by Arthur W Ryder, a professor of Sanskrit at the University of California, Berkeley. The precocious physicist had arrived there as a 25-year-old assistant professor. Over the next few decades, he helped build one of the "greatest schools of theoretical physics" in the US.

Ryder, a Republican and a "sharp tongued iconoclast", was fascinated by Oppenheimer. For his part, Oppenheimer regarded Ryder as a "quintessential intellectual", a scholar who "felt and thought and talked as a stoic". The young scientist's textile importer father agreed, saying Ryder was a "remarkable combination of austereness through which peeps the gentlest soul".

Oppenheimer - played by actor Cillian Murphy in the biopic - also regarded Ryder as a rare person who had "a tragic sense of life, in that they attribute to human actions the completely decisive role in the difference between salvation and damnation".

Soon, Ryder was giving Oppenheimer private lessons in Sanskrit on Thursday evenings. "I am learning Sanskrit," the scientist wrote to his brother Frank, "enjoying it very much and enjoying again the sweet luxury of being taught".

Many of his friends found his new obsession with an Indian language odd, Oppenheimer's biographers noted. One of them, Harold F Cherniss, who introduced the scientist to the scholar, thought it made "perfect sense" because Oppenheimer had a "taste of the mystical and the cryptic".

So Oppenheimer's knowledge of Sanskrit and the Gita is clearly germane to telling his story. But some right wing Hindus have complained - particularly about the sex scene with lover Jean Tatlock, played by Florence Pugh - saying the film is an attack on their religion and demanding cuts.

But India's film censors found no problem with it and at the box office it's the Hollywood hit of the year in India, faring better than Barbie since the two blockbusters opened on Friday.

There's no doubt Oppenheimer was a widely well-read man - he took courses in philosophy, French literature, English, history, and briefly considered studying architecture, and even becoming a classicist, poet or painter. He wrote poems on "themes of sadness and loneliness", and identified with TS Eliot's "sparse existentialism" in The Waste Land.

"He liked things that were difficult. And since almost everything was easy for him, the things that really would attract his attention were essentially the difficult," Cherniss said.

With his facility for languages - Oppenheimer had studied Greek, Latin, French and German and learned Dutch in six weeks - it "wasn't really long before" he was reading the Bhagavad Gita. He found it "very easy and quite marvellous" and told friends that it was the "most beautiful philosophical song existing in any known tongue". In his bookshelf was a pink-covered copy of the book that Ryder had gifted him; and Oppenheimer himself gifted copies to his friends.

The biographers write that the scientist was so "enraptured by his Sanskrit studies" that in 1933 when his father brought him a Chrysler, he named it Garuda, after the giant bird God in Hindu mythology.

In spring of that year, Oppenheimer had written a rather florid letter to his brother explaining why discipline and work had always been his guiding principles. It pointed to the fact that he was enthralled by eastern philosophy.

He wrote: "through discipline, though not through discipline alone, we can achieve serenity, and a certain small but precious measure of freedom from the accidents of incarnation… and that detachment which preserves the world it renounces". Only through discipline, he added, is it possible to "see the world without the gross distraction of personal desire, and in seeing so, accept more easily our earthly privation and its earthly horror".

"In the late twenties, Oppenheimer seemed to be searching for an earthly detachment; he wished, in other words to be engaged as a scientist with the physical world, and yet detached from it," his biographers write.

"He was not seeking to escape to a purely spiritual realm. He was not seeking religion. What he sought was peace of mind. The Gita seemed to provide precisely the right philosophy for an intellectual keenly attuned to the affairs of men and the pleasures of the senses."

One of his favourite Sanskrit texts was the Meghaduta, a lyric poem written by Kalidasa, one of the greatest poets in the language. "The Meghaduta I read with Ryder, with delight, some ease and great enchantment," he wrote to his brother, Frank.

Why did Oppenheimer turn to Gita and its notions of karma, destiny and earthly duty so fervently? His biographers hazard a guess: "Perhaps the attraction Robert felt to the fatalism of the Gita was at least stimulated by a late blooming rebellion against what he had been taught as a youth", alluding to his early association with the Ethical Culture Society, an "uniquely American offshoot of Judaism that celebrated rationalism and a progressive brand of secular humanism".

To be sure, Oppenheimer was not alone in admiring the Hindu text. Henry David Thoreau wrote about immersing himself in the "stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial". Heinrich Himmler was an admirer. Mahatma Gandhi was an ardent follower. And WB Yeats and TS Eliot, two poets Oppenheimer admired, had read the Mahabharata.

The sight of the giant orange mushroom cloud rising in the skies after the first atomic bomb test had led Oppenheimer to return to the Gita again. The bombs that were eventually dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II had killed tens of thousands of people.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent," he told NBC in a 1965 documentary.

"I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu [a principal Hindu deity] is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I have become death, the destroyer of the worlds'. I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."

A friend of the scientist said the quote sounded like one of Oppenheimer's "priestly exaggerations".

Yet, the enigmatic scientist remained profoundly influenced by it.

When the editors of The Christian Century asked the scientist once to share the books that most profoundly influenced his philosophical outlook, Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal held the top spot. And the Bhagavad Gita took the second position.'

J. Robert Oppenheimer, atomic physicist and head of the Manhattan Project, circa 1944.

Two views, starting with the short video. Followed by this article:

The Bhagavad Gita, the Bomb and the Dharma of Oppenheimer Syama Allard, the author, writes for the Hindu American Foundation.

On July 16, 1945, in the desert 210 miles south of Los Alamos, New Mexico, a nuclear weapon was tested for the first time. 

Recalling the scene 20 years later, J. Robert Oppenheimer, known as the “father of the atomic bomb,” uttered words he would henceforth be known for. Pale and emaciated for his 61 years, eyes gaunt, the physicist persistently avoided the camera as he spoke with emotionally subdued precision:

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, ‘Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

At the time, only a small number of Americans knew much about the scripture Oppenheimer quoted, though his hauntingly poignant delivery gave his recitation a special weight. The true impact its spiritual source had on Oppenheimer, however, and on the development of atomic weaponry, remained largely unknown.

According to James A. Hijiya, author of The Gita of J. Robert Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer’s interest in ancient Indian philosophy grew out of a rebellion against his own upbringing. Of Jewish descent, his family was affiliated with Felix Adler’s Society for Ethical Culture and sent young Oppenheimer to the society’s school in New York, where his father was on the board of directors.

Abandoning religion’s spiritual and supernatural aspects, the school taught the importance of human welfare based on a foundation of secular moral principles. It also provided excellent training in the sciences and classics, but Isidor Isaac Rabi, a physicist who met the young Oppenheimer in 1929, before working with him later on the Manhattan Project, said Oppenheimer was already seeking “a more profound approach to human relations and man’s place in the universe.” He appeared to have found this approach in the Hindu classics, which seemed to interest him even more than physics. 

In 1933, while he was teaching at Berkeley, his interest apparently reached new depths when he met Arthur W. Ryder, a professor of Sanskrit who taught Oppenheimer the language. Especially captivated by the Gita, Oppenheimer called it “the most beautiful philosophical song existing in any known tongue.”

Always keeping a well-worn copy of it near his desk, he gave the book to friends and regularly quoted passages, once at a memorial service for President Franklin D. Roosevelt. When asked by Christian Century magazine in 1963 to name the top 10 books that shaped his “vocational attitude” and “philosophy of life,” Oppenheimer listed the Gita, along with Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” and T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land.”

A 700-verse dialogue between an ancient warrior named Arjuna and his cousin Krishna (a form of Vishnu), the Bhagavad Gita is set on a battlefield at the edge of war.

Hoping to install his eldest brother, Yudhishthira, as ruler of a kingdom that has been usurped by their cousin Duryodhana, Arjuna is torn. Faced with the prospect of fighting an army filled with his friends and relatives, he despondently turns to Lord Krishna and asks if the throne is worth the price of slaying so many of his loved ones. Motivated by envy, Duryodhana might be in the wrong, but surely his crime doesn’t justify fratricidal bloodshed. Casting his weapons aside, Arjuna falls to the ground, overwhelmed with grief. 

From a spiritual perspective, the peaceful solution feels like the obvious one, especially considering the stakes. Yet Krishna, who eventually reveals himself to be a manifestation of the divine, actually chastises Arjuna, albeit lovingly. 

As a warrior, Krishna argues, Arjuna’s dharma, or sacred duty, is to fight, no matter what the outcome. While in life we can’t control the result of our actions, we can control our actions, and our best-performed actions are the ones most aligned with our nature. Just as the heart best serves itself and the body by performing its function of pumping blood, Arjuna best serves himself and society by performing his function as a warrior in the face of battle.

For him, the pacifist’s route — a route that isn’t his but that of a renunciate — isn’t selfless but the opposite, an action based on his own desire. If everyone discharged the duties of others instead of their own, the world would fall into disarray. Faith in the higher cosmic order dictates that all beings execute their responsibilities, even when doing so causes unhappiness or distress.

Inspired by these words, Arjuna asks Krishna to exhibit his cosmic identity, as a way of strengthening faith in the order he’s referring to. Pleased by his cousin’s change of heart, Krishna assents to the request and manifests a bewildering display of wondrous, brilliant and unlimited visions.

It’s at this moment, as an unfathomable radiance blazes from an incomprehensible form containing all that has ever existed, Krishna says the famous line, describing himself as the “destroyer of worlds” — not to instill fear, but to emphasize that ultimate destiny was out of Arjuna’s hands.

Gathering his senses, Arjuna prepares for battle, fulfilling his role to provide a providential end that has already been set in motion.

Understanding Oppenheimer’s quote in broader context, you can see how he, who had his own considerations of pacifism, might have quelled his doubts through the model of Arjuna. As Hijiya thoroughly conveys, the scientist very much determined his duties by his profession as a nuclear physicist, and made various statements in the course of making the bomb, as well as in the years after, touting the importance of following these duties. 

In 1945, he told his peers at Los Alamos, “If you are a scientist, you cannot stop such a thing. … If you are a scientist you believe … that it is good to turn over to mankind at large the greatest possible power to control the world and to deal with it according to its lights and values.” Going further, in a magazine article published during the same period, remarking on whether it was good to give the world increased power, he said, “Because we are scientists, we must say an unalterable yes.”

If it was his duty as a scientist to help create the bomb, he believed it was the duty of the country’s political leaders to decide what to do with it. When fellow Manhattan Project scientist Leo Szilard wanted to circulate a petition cautioning President Harry Truman against dropping the weapon on a Japanese city, Oppenheimer forbade it, saying the country’s statesmen had information the scientists did not possess and were therefore the most qualified to determine its proper use. 

Fate, Oppenheimer clearly surmised, was out of their hands. All they could do was play their parts to the best of their abilities, and allow others to play theirs. 

Despite his distaste for the violence and suffering the bombs caused, and despite his criticism toward furthering the nuclear arms program after the war ended, it should come as no surprise that in his final years, Oppenheimer said that if he could go back in time, he would do things the same way.

His lack of regret shouldn’t be mistaken for a willful hardening of his heart. The footage of him reciting the line from the Gita makes it painfully clear that the bomb’s success brought him no joy. Like Arjuna, he carried out the obligations of someone in his position, surrendering to a destiny beyond his own comprehension.

Swami Revatikaanta also discusses the movie for a few minutes in his opening..

Jikyoku Iinkai (時局委員会)

322) Japanese Committee on Trade and Information, Japoński Komitet ds. Handlu i Informacji - kierowana przez Japonię organizacja propagandowa, która działała w Stanach Zjednoczonych w latach 1937-1940. W języku japońskim nazywała się Jikyoku Iinkai (時局委員会), dosłownie „Komitet Spraw Bieżących”. Wielu jego byłych członków i opłacanych propagandzistów zostało osądzonych i uwięzionych w następstwie bombardowania Pearl Harbor. Japoński Komitet ds. Handlu i Informacji został powołany 26 września 1937 r. przez konsulat Japonii w San Francisco przy ścisłej współpracy lokalnych japońskich biznesmenów. Zlokalizowany pod adresem 549 Market Street, powstał wkrótce po wybuchu drugiej wojny chińsko-japońskiej w celu wpływania na opinię publiczną w Stanach Zjednoczonych w kierunku Japonii i przeciwko Chinom. Oficjalnie Komitet starał się wspierać „tradycyjną przyjaźń” między Stanami Zjednoczonymi a Japonią. W tajnej depeszy wysłanej przez japoński konsulat do Ministerstwa Spraw Zagranicznych odnotowano, że japońska Komisja ds. Handlu i Informacji była główną organizacją odpowiedzialną za „tworzenie propagandy i informacji dla Stanów Zjednoczonych”. Na jej czele stał K. Takahashi, lokalny kierownik Nippon Yusen Kaisha, do 15 marca 1940 r., a od tego czasu dyrektor Mitsubishi S. Takeuchi, wraz z niejakim Tsutomu Obaną, sekretarzem Japońskiej Izby Handlowej w San Francisco, obsługującym także jako sekretarz Komitetu. Po uchwaleniu Ustawy o Rejestracji Agentów Zagranicznych w 1938 roku, Japoński Komitet ds. Handlu i Informacji zarejestrował się jako agencja kontrolowana przez obywateli Japonii, chociaż podczas rejestracji Tsutomu Obana ukrył informację, że organizacja była bezpośrednio finansowana i kierowana przez rząd Japonii. W ciągu swojego istnienia Komitet wydał co najmniej 175 000 dolarów na promowanie spraw projapońskich, pieniądze, które zostały rozdane w konsulacie Japonii. Wśród osób finansowanych przez organizację byli Frederick Vincent Williams, któremu płacono 300 dolarów miesięcznie za tworzenie projapońskich artykułów, przemówień i audycji radiowych, David Warren Ryder, który napisał serię broszur zatytułowanych "Far Eastern Affairs" („Sprawy Dalekiego Wschodu”) i Ralph Townsend, który również wydrukował broszury przy wsparciu Komitetu. Gdy FBI zintensyfikowało inwigilację zagranicznych agentów, japoński konsulat był coraz bardziej zaniepokojony ujawnieniem tajnych działań organizacji. Japoński Komitet ds. Handlu i Informacji został zatem rozwiązany 22 sierpnia 1940 r. Jednak federalne dochodzenie w sprawie japońskiej propagandy, które rozpoczęto w listopadzie 1941 r., odkryło prace, które Japoński Komitet ds. Handlu i Informacji podjął w latach 1937–1940. Dwaj prokuratorzy specjalni, którzy prowadzili sprawę, Albert E. Arent i Arthur B. Caldwell, przedstawili sprawę przed federalną wielką ławą przysięgłych w San Francisco i 28 stycznia 1942 r. udało im się doprowadzić do oskarżenia przez rząd Stanów Zjednoczonych Townsenda, Rydera i Williamsa za naruszenia ustawy o rejestrze agentów zagranicznych, a także Obana za składanie fałszywych i niepełnych oświadczeń w imieniu organizacji. Townsend i Ryder zostali oskarżeni o działanie jako zagraniczni agenci bez rejestracji, a chociaż Williams się zarejestrował, został oskarżony o składanie fałszywych oświadczeń i ukrywanie informacji podczas rejestracji. Cała czwórka została również oskarżona o udział w przestępczej konspiracji. Obana i Townsend przyznali się do winy, chociaż Townsend zaprzeczył, że działał w imieniu Japonii. Po przyznaniu się do winy za naruszenie ustawy o rejestracji agentów zagranicznych, zarzut spisku został wycofany przeciwko Townsendowi. Ryder i Williams wyznali swoją niewinność i twierdzili, że nie znają zakresu, w jakim japoński rząd kontrolował Komitet, ale obaj zostali skazani pod każdym względem w czerwcu. Wszyscy czterej otrzymali wyroki więzienia. Rząd Stanów Zjednoczonych również oskarżył Takahashiego i Takeuchiego oraz wyznaczył dwóch japońskich konsulów jako współspiskowców, ale wszyscy oni opuścili kraj już przed złożeniem aktu oskarżenia.

[my-fankid-daycare]

All my fankids by region (UPDATED)

Let’s hope this list stays consistent! I might delete some kids but don’t have plans to add anymore. 

I put a + in front of the fankids that have one or both parents that are game only characters. My fankid universe is more anime centric but mingled with gameverse stuff. Since Leon, Sonia, Rose and Oleana have all made appearances in the anime now they don’t count for this category. Putting a - next to characters that are on the chopping block 

EDIT: I put a * next to kids whose names I recently changed, there is a ** next to kids that are new and a ++ for two ships I changed but the kid mostly stayed the same. Questions marks next to last names I am uncertain about. Fankids in italics get profiles in the future.

Another Edit: I made some ship changes that I am not sure of so this might change back very quickly. We’ll see.

Songs for Halloween Parties

Halloween parties offer the most wide open subject possibilities of any type of celebration. Halloween is the one day of the year that lets you be any living thing or dead thing, any occupation, any human or non-human and any personality type. You can be a cartoon character if you like. Since Halloween can go hundreds of different directions, the playlist will likely be a diverse list of novelty songs.

Alright HI. So, I wanted to ask if you had a pdf/epub version of Abhijanasakuntalam by Kalidasa, (translation by Chandra Rajan)? I'm itching to read it but cannot for the life of me find it anywhere dshjgskdf.

OK SO i, for one also could not find the specific version translated by Chandra Rajan anywhere in epub or pdf. Seems like you can only buy it. I looked everywhere. different keywords, sketchy websites, whatnot in the beginning of uni, and again today, but most links were broken :/ so ultimately i had to buy it online so I now have a physical copy of it published by penguin books. I DID HOWEVER end up finding the version translated by Arthur W. Ryder, If that's your cup of tea ? It's not what you were looking for, but it's close ! Or if the Chandra Rajan one is the only one you want I could scan the pages and email them to you if I can and if you want !

First Blog Post 3/20/20

Started CnD Records today. Feels Good.

Working on some diss tracks. Not sure if they see it coming - doesn’t matter either way.

Planning to release Car and Driver first real record this Friday 3/20/20. Driving Test Driver Fest 1. 

Self release first record - another 20 tracks next week. Compile top 10 - 15 for first release with other label - thinking Terrible, Kranky, blu ish label or Thrill Jockey. Citrus City a no-go for now. Maybe just keep building CnD records.

Be the middle man - take advantage of opportunities without sacrificing my bands’ (and those I represent) integrity.

Reach sleep destroyer.

Last night at Ted’s - great DJ set. Kidz bop remixes, Fancy. Crowd hated it. Ted disappointed we had to leave but it’s ok with everyone. Tall guy took aux right out of computer, have video. Started dancing - cucked everyone. Everyone thinks they’re the crazy charismatic guy. Am I actually? I think so. Syd thinks so. 

CnD Fest 2 , 3 , 4 at Purchase and beyond. Would like to play apartments, Scully’s den in BK (reach out) and Philly, DC etc.

Next voice memo album - 20 - 25 tracks right now. Better than the first. Danny said best album ever.

Working on “My oh Maia Reason Why” video - my favorite video I’ve ever seen. Getting good feedback.

Important to collab with certain SUNY people before I go:

Members of Lip Critic, Dawson, Neal, Gabe.

Send stuff back and forth with Joseph Kress. 

Need to write song about not sharing a stage w unstable Car and Driver - cost me 2 gigs. Ok because I had the police interaction that night. 

Things have been working out quite well. Syd is keeping me in check. Main priorities are keep the energy going while I can and make sure everyone around me is comfortable with me doing my thing, specifically mom, sofia.

Going to Only Angels tomorrow to collab with Alex.

Tues/Wed in RI with Zach Gorton. Need to see Nick Holcomb, Sofia, Will Orchard if he’s around. Riley in Boston? Would love to. 

Visit Dad soon on the way to Richmond, in a few weeks perhaps. Grandma Roberta etc. They have a BBQ place now - I bet it’s great. 

Follow up in the morning (3 hours from now) with wedding band, Kevin Daniels, drummer etc.

Film sunrise sessions at Purchase: My Ride’s Here, Splendid Isolation, Keep me in your heart, Studebaker, Cat’s in the Cradle, Everybody that you know. Don’t think twice, Boots of Spanish Leather, Someday my Prince, Teenage Dirtbag, Arthur (Woof Woof), Forget You, Signed Sealed Delivered, Superstition, The Promise, Hold me now (TT), Love on Top, Townes Van Zandt, 1-800 superstar, Evan Wright, Tom Petty, Blinded By the Light, Searching for a Heart, Mag Field’s, Barenaked Ladies, TMBG, Dolly Parton one sided love, Byrds, Beatles, Kinks, Stones, Parquet Courts, T Swift (Red, Way I loved you), Mitski, Sasami, Anything Could Happen, Beach House, He Needs Me, These Days, YLT, Beach Boys, Big Star Take Care, G500/Luna, Felt, Psychic TV, Shelia, BJM, Yellow Sarong, Over and Over, Hazel St, Heatherwood, Helicopter, He Would’ve Laughted, I wanna be your lover, The pump, Good enough (sleep destroyer), Them airs, BH (14, indian summer), help me scrape mucus off my brain), Beach Comber, DO YOUR THING, Icehead, Bobby, 1000 times, WIll Orchard, Bon Iver, MGMT, Tame impala, Instant Crush, etc. Art Vandelay, Quick Canal, Stereolab, Grouper, Broadcast, Animal Collective, Panda Bear, Bachelor Kisses, Cranberries, Cure, Pastels, MBV, I found a reason, pale blue eyes, Deerhoof, Gretel Alex G, Dancing w tears in my eyes, Elvis Costello, No age(things i did), Are ya ok, Maus, Ariel, R Stevie, Aphex Twin, Zomes, Vampire Weekend etc.

Bring Laptop for Beats on some and lyrics for all. 

Love life more than ever before. Music feels so good. Want to help, make amends, everything that moondog did. Don’t be homeless much longer.

Not sure if I like throbbing gristle - definitely like Psychic TV.

How savage should diss tracks be? Very? Match the severity of the person’s treatment of me/others. Aka - pretty bad for all except for Auto.

Listened to new Kanye today - 10x better and more influential than death grips. 

Realized today that i’ve spent my whole life wishing I was Kanye and now I am Kanye. Feels very good.

Everyone is gifted but internet makes us angst. 

I am mostly Camus right now - maybe more Kierkegaard soon. Religion and Terrence Malik. Still need to read books.

Order of Books: The graduate Portrait of the artist Consider Lobster Infinite Jest Pynchon Ulysses (At recommendation of American gamer association)

Syd is incredibly gifted. Want to help her feel comfortable doing art/work here in the chaos but also sort out the chaos for both of ours’ sake. I thrive in it, she tolerates well. Want to move to Riverdale still, maybe East Williamsburg with Backpack Chris. We’ll see about money. Philly perhaps, little too far. Jersey is good location but bad commute. Bad to RI. 

Visit RI and Boston Tues - Thurs. Sell Cigarettes at Concerts. Feels right.

Keep smoking for now - quit end of summer perhaps. 

Don’t have Corona Virus - glad we are not quarantined. Still be smart. Don’t expose mom regardless. Protect at ALL costs. 

Really though, why does Journee hate me? Write new track (Journee into forever nevermore not now not ever (Lou)) or Journee into SJW self righteous moral posturing (way too savage - maybe voice memo outro)

AR Kane album is incredible. Syd loves too. Sample everything.

Crazy - sound better at jazz than ever in my life. Exploring harmony - never practice. Teach free lessons all the time. Love the diminished scale. Might be best jazz guitarist to ever live. Time will tell. Would be cool long term. Prefer singing. 

Getting good at piano too.

I’m my favorite lyricist/comedian/actor.

Is maia right, acting isn’t hard? Weird they can’t act.

^Remember to delete^

Don’t share this on Facebook yet.

Why does Journee hate me so much? Just the Louis CK joke?

People who stay home and do nothing hate to see irreverent people doing things.

People like when you’re losing - don’t like to see you win.

^That makes me sound crazy.

F00D outsider might make me famous first.

Need to keep up with legal situation.

Hope mom and dad both live long. Call Syd, get something nice for everyone in family. Get weird jewel cases. Order jewelry from etsy. Post merch on bandcamp.

Finish album art soon. Music videos. Get better at animation etc. Pay Ben for his poster. Actually really good. Maybe album art? Duo album! Record in Wisconsin, release under his name. WIll success be good for Ben? I think so. Still can’t believe Liv told him I wasn’t ok. Wow - good content for lyrics. You truly cannot write this.

How will people react to diss tracks? Extremely negatively. Or no reaction. We shall see. Maybe no real names in the titles...... only on Oh my. 4 names in titles is too many. Don’t release Auto track. Maybe on Voice Memos. 

Track List: Good God Bed Head Rosa Reprise Oh My House Pop 1 skydive Pop 2 APhex GVO Pay 4 Take some Cherish Stars in F Are ya ok too bright Honeys Get to work Everybody That You Know Frost Bit BPC NYC New Age Heimet Helmet Deadbeat dads watermill for slitting bars romantic song david byrne Cinema study in cinema Brain ego Cherry doc marten Can’t liv w/o Venmo groceries Oh you like? Dancin DJ blues We are the State Farm robots Danny dorito is a dirty devito My funny valentine Zoomer blues The thing abt genres Blss Like minds ft dawson Lil toucha jazz Introducing car and driver The holy moment empire Ethics 101 - gma in the street Otto is sad I don’t know what it means! Operatic mellismatic Car and driver fest will be a success! Car and driver fest was a bust again! Cipha’s comedy corner Ryder Be gone evil atonal spirits!

Unreleased mental breakdown compilation ep:

I like all music! I’m a stupid pos Electric micro bike Get off your phone! John frusc Nice song Lap steel for 2 My masseuse advice Bed head wash sq Punchie John Maus yoyo interview Diminished  kinda thing

Build the NYC scene, w Blu ish, Evan, 1 800, sweet joseph, Comics Club, Dawson, Sloppy Jane, Wheatus,

See Jack Fortin in NYC soon. Either my event or his. 

Things are still good. Syd will be a great filmmaker. WIll maybe will end up with a dancer or a filmmaker - Probably not a musician. WIll have many loves. 

Things are good right now - hope they stay that way. 

Feel like Ezra Keonig - hopefully someone reads this one day and agrees. Different time in history and the internet - hope this is less cringe than Ezra’s blog , probably not. Ezra, if you’re reading this, sorry. See ya at Bernie’s rally.

Dark curse season two episode list

The mob. After the curse everyone wants Uma dead. Evie forms a mob to get her (think Doctor whale at the start of season two of ouat)

The old man and the tyrant. Wilhelmina (Victoria Justicr) makes herself known to yen sid (Hugh Laurie). Who’s stuck in a nursing home.

Queen Clarion. Gradie Doug and jay ask the queen of the Neverland fairies (Kiera knightly) for help in escaping Neverland

Alone. Evie (still reeling from her husbands disappearance) completely washes her hands of Mal because the dark fairy queen refuses to kill Uma. The episode ends with Evie meeting Wilhelmina at a bar

Sisters. Evie is brainwashed by Wilhelmina to be just like her.

Through the looking glass. Gradie Doug and jay finally make it out of Neverland. Only to land in the middle of a battle between the Hightopp clan and the remaining playing cards in Wonderland

The cat. Spotlight episode for Chester/Leon Taylor (Zac Efron). Mostly trying to get Evie free of her sisters conditioning

A most violent death. Chaudrey spotlight episode. It ends with their death at evil Evie’s hands.

Four witches. This is a turning point in Uma and Mal’s relationship. Mal saves her from Evie and Wilhelmina. Via a massive two vs two witch battle. That only ends because Uma causes a cave in that almost kills Wilhelmina

Reunion. Gradie Doug and jay make it back to Auradon. Grant and Doug reunite with their cousins and Evie. Hadie makes a beeline for Mal. Jay goes to Carlos. Only to find that Carlos is now with Jane.

Audrey. In the underworld Audrey seeks out the help of Charon the ferryman (Colin Salmon) in order to help Mal defeat Wilhelmina. Mid season finale

Father. Chaudrey gets an audience with hades (John Barrowman). At the end of the episode hades and chaudrey burst into Auradon in electric blue fire scaring the pants off of pain and panic (Chris and Liam Hemsworth)

The modern Prometheus. Hades (Eva Green) fully resurrects Harry and the twins. While Uma has a tearful reunion with the children Hadie pulls his (fully amnesiac) brother aside and threatens to murder him in front of Uma and the kids should he look at Mal the wrong way. (Hadie still hasn’t learned his lesson)

The Vorpal Sword. Dizzy decides that the only way to save her mother is to kill her aunt. Even if she dies in the process. Her life being put in danger is what finally breaks Evie free of Wilhelmina’s control

The first mate. This episodes flashbacks show Harry’s childhood. From birth (IE. when James Hook realised he conceived a child with the lord of the underworld) to his less the happy childhood as the overlooked and under cared for middle child (his father blatantly calls him “the bastard mistake”) to hades (Eva Green) reappearing in his life to meeting Uma to meeting Gil. All the way to his halfassed resurrection at Hadie’s hands. In the present day an amnesiac Harry is still trying to remember who he is. Hades (Sebastian Stan) lets Hadie have it for bringing Harry and the twins back in such w cruel traumatising way

The Godmother. Wilhelmina centred. Her (the titular godmother), Arthur (Tom Holland) and Guinevere Pendragon (Saoirse Ronan) and Silas (David Mazouz) summon the tweedle demons (Daniel Radcliffe and Matthew Lewis) to indoctrinate Taran Hightopp (Charlie Rowe) into their inner circle

The children of hades. The flashbacks consist of hades (Sebastian Stan, Eva Green and Jesse L Martin) meeting, falling in love with and subsequently siring children with Danae (Anne Hathaway) James Hook (Robert Carlyle) and Maleficent (Charlize Theron). In Auradon it’s Hadie who gets Harry to remember with a very mean spirited speech “you are nothing. You have always been nothing. You will always be nothing. Well. Nothing except what your father far too generously described you as. The bastard mistake”. Then Harry slaps him around the face. And they fight. Nearly causing a town wide blackout in the process

The Merry Men. Evie’s in the prison along with Robin Hood. Both voluntarily. For the crimes they committed (Robin was a corrupt cop under the curse. Evie blames herself for the whole brainwashing thing) Silas visits them both. Commending Evie in her blandness. And saying that robin has 48 hours to locate his wife or she’s fed to the tweedles. This is where the Merry men come in

An oath on the Styx. Hadie, fed up with Harry being coddled and everyone seemingly forgetting that Uma cast the curse (She’s been hanging around Mal a lot recently trying to mend fences) forces pain and panic (now Abby Ryder fortson and Pearce Gagnon) to dispose of Harry in the most humiliating painful way possible. He doesn’t care what happens when hades finds out (probably renounce Hadie’s immortality) he just wants Harry gone and Uma to hurt. He makes the two swear on the river Styx. All three know that if it doesn’t happen. Terrible things will befall the pair

Taran Hightopp. Wilhelmina has been at it again. She’s successfully brainwashed her half brother Taran (Charlie Rowe) and has sent him to kill Uma. Taran dies at Harry’s hands. Meanwhile the subplot is about CJ Hook (Florence Pugh) and Sadie Meyer (Sabrina Carpenter) getting re-engaged. The flashbacks chronicle their relationship.

The death of Harry Hook. Hadie finally did it. He finally got his brother killed. The exact same way Wilhelmina killed Harriet. Sword to the gut and a heart rip. But this happened in front of the twins. So Uma tries to stab him with an in use fire poker. The episode ends with hades (John Barrowman) banishing Hadie to another realm. And Harry’s funeral. Which is only attended by Uma hades (Eva Green) and the twins

Rosemary. Wilhelmina sacrifices Arthur Pendragon to the Tweedles and brings her aunt (Rene’s mother) to Auradon from Wonderland Rosemary the former red queen (Jennifer Morrison) to help her kill Uma. In Arendelle Hadie seeks out the help of queen Eloise (Elizabeth Gillis) the daughter of Kristoff and Anna for help in getting back home and banishing his father back to the underworld.

Favorite Books of 2018 📚Part 1: Classics

I know its really late and I had originally wanted to make a video, but I really want to share my favorite books of last year. Maybe you will all still get a video at some point, but for now you get this master post! 

I’m  making this post in order of publication date, the oldest to the most recent. I have written reviews for each of these books which are linked. 

Daphnis and Chloe by Longus  ~ (150 AD) 

This is an Ancient Greek piece of writing about young love. It is a lovely and amusing story of the innocence of young love complete with gods and goddesses and the enchanting pastoral setting of the island of Lesbos. I found this to be a world of the past to get lost in and an enjoyable sweet story.

Middlemarch by George Eliot ~ (1871) 

This is a Victorian novel about a town called Middlemarch, it’s inhabitants and the complex web of their relationships. This is an epic novel about everyday life filled with fantastic characters and their aspirations, familial drama and romantic relationships. I found this to be one of the most relatable classics I’ve read in a long while with such perceptive insight into relationships.

Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu ~ (1872)

This Victorian novella was written by an Irish author and is a vampire story that predates Dracula. This story however is about a female lesbian vampire. It was wonderfully atmospheric, it’s two female characters were great and the theme of suppressed female sexuality was very interesting.

Kusamakura by Natsume Soseki ~ (1906)

This Japanese classic is written from the perspective of an artist who goes on a journey to have the ultimate artist’s experience and only experience things from a detached artist’s standpoint. This book was like a word painting and was utterly beautiful. This was a book about art, beauty, nature and the old Japan coming to terms with the new. This was such an introspective and refreshing book and there were so many great quotes that I wrote down as I was reading.

The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham ~ (1925)

This novel follows a beautiful and shallow woman named Kitty Fane living in Hong Kong with her husband Walter. When her husband finds out she was having an affair, her punishment is unusual and severe. She must accompany him to mainland China to help out in a Cholera epidemic. What follows is a story of Kitty’s spiritual awakening.She starts to appreciate real beauty, she gains compassion for and insight into other people’s feelings, she opens up to a more spiritual dimension of life, she realizes why she acted the way she did and she tries to make amends and ultimately find peace. This novel had great character development and I didn’t expect it to be as profound as it was.

How Green Was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn ~ (1939)

This novel is set in a Welsh mining community and follows a man named Huw Morgan as he looks back at his life. This is a story filled with memories of love and family. Quite simply this was one of the best family stories I have read and the Morgans will always stick out in my mind as one of the best literary families

Brideshead Revisted by Evelyn Waugh ~ (1945)

This novel is about a man named Charles Ryder looking back at his youth when he became friends with a young man named Sebastian and became involved with his family and their estate Brideshead. This was a nostalgic novel about the loss of innocence and youth, complicated and disappointing love, charm and ultimately religion and how it can save you and haunt you with guilt. This was a book filled with rich writing that impacted me emotionally. I became so attached to these characters. I didn’t even agree with everything in this book especially on matters of religion, but I loved it regardless which is unusual for me

The Once and Future King by T. H. White ~ (1938-1958)

This is a retelling of the legend of King Arthur starting when he was a boy and ending right before his death. After having read the very classic Le Morte D’Arthur in 2017 I very much appreciated this retelling. It really brought the legends to life. At times it made me think deeply and at others it had me laughing out loud. White made Arthur’s ambitions for the round table seem noble. To use the might that was so popular at the time for right, yet to question the ways of the world and why wars were even fought in the first place. I love how the legends of King Arthur can be used to explore different issues and this version I found really aligned with me and I tremendously enjoyed it.
