BABYGIRL!!! this is my friends character Kej and his bf (my character that he "hates") Ax. Kej is the blond one, they're mandalorians but not children of the watch so they do take off their helmets and stuff. Anyway, autism has such a grip on me and they're all I think about all the time I love them sm and expect more art (and infodumping) of them :D

“Early Lory,” Kej said. As Malice watched, he cracked eggs one-handed into a pan sizzling with bacon drippings—one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Who even ate that many eggs?

Thoughts on the Grammy Nominations

Today they announced the nominees for the 2022 Grammy Awards, taking place Jan. 31, 2022. As a whole I feel kind of disconnected from most of the music that was nominated this year. I’m a big music geek and I feel much of the nominees didn’t represent this year’s best music. But art is subjective, so what do I know vs. the Grammy not knowing. Here are a few thoughts.

- Chris Cornell scores 2 posthumous nominations

Cornell was nominated for Best Rock Performance for his cover of “Nothing Compares 2 U” and Best Rock Album for No One Sings Like You Anymore, Vol. 1. Very well deserved!

- Foo Fighters score 3 nominations

Foo Fighters have won 12 Grammy Awards since their 1995 formation. This year they are nominated for Best Rock Performance for “Making a Fire”, Best Rock Song for “Waiting on a War”, and Best Rock Album for Medicine at Midnight. This is their best album in a long time and I’d be surprised if it didn’t win in at least one of those categories.

- Sir Paul scores 2 nominations

Between The Beatles, Wings, various collaborations and his solo work, Paul McCartney has won 18 Grammy Awards. This year he is nominated for Best Rock Song for “Find My Way” and Best Rock Album for McCartney III, which I named my #6 Album of 2020.

- Mammoth WVH scores his first nomination

Nice to see Wolfgang Van Halen nominated for the first time for Best Rock Song for “Distance”, the highlight of his band Mammoth WVH’s debut album.

- Halsey is alternative rock?

I like that just because Halsey did an album with Trent Reznor producing it is nominated for Best Alternative Album?!?

- Stewart Copeland nominated

Copeland, formerly of The Police as well as an accomplished solo artist and composer, is nominated for Best New Age album for the one he did with Ricky Kej.

- Barack Obama nominated

The 44th President of the United States has been nominated for Best Spoken Word Album, a category he actually won for in 2005 and 2007.

- Trent Reznor nominated again

Trent Reznor has won 2 Grammy Awards for Nine Inch Nails, but this year he is nominated for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media for Soul, which he did with Jon Batiste and Atticus Ross, which won an Oscar earlier this year.

- George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass: 50th Anniversary Edition nominated

The 50th anniversary edition of ATMP is nominated for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. Congrats to Dhani Harrison, Olivia Harrison and Darren Evans. Fingers crossed the Grammys do the right thing and reward this album now, since they didn’t give it Album of the Year in 1972.

- Prince nominated

Prince’s Sign O’ The Times Super Deluxe Edition, which I named my #4 Best Reissue of 2020, is nominated for Best Historical Album.

- Best Music Film category has stiff competition

There are quite a few that could easily win for Best Music Film. There’s Music, Money, Madness...Jimi Hendrix In Maui, Spike Lee’s David Byrne's American Utopia which I named my #1 Documentary of 2020, and Questlove’s Summer Of Soul which was the best movie I saw at the 2021 IFFBoston.

[kej-art]

hello, i made some stickers!

and they're all available ✨ here ✨

[cowboyfvcker]

okay this is my bbg Ax, he lives in Endor and bounty hunts when he's low on cash (unlike Kej who does it because he's a freak) and for the rest of his time he works on weapons upgrades for clients and trades with Ewoks. I love them both so much it's unreal but he is my character and he is essentially the only person that Kej talks to and also the only person that actually likes interacting with Kej (he's unpleasant to be around unless you're Ax). Anyway, he's beautiful and Kej is lucky to have him. there is so much I want to say but as some people (my friend) would vouch the quantity of infodump would need to be spread out over like 20 posts or one 8k word post where I ramble about them.

True History of Pakistan

Release

Pakistan is based on the North American element of South Asia. It's bordered by China in the North, Afghanistan in the North-West, Iran in South-West, Arabian Ocean and Indian Ocean in the South and India in the East. Pakistan, as evident, is situated at the crossroads of South Asia, Key Asia, and the Middle East making it a simple relating level between Key Asia and South Asia.

There were significant immigration actions, in the areas today constituting Pakistan since pre-historic times. The folks of Pakistan are descendants of different racial groups and sub-racial stocks, who entered the subcontinent in the last 5000 decades, mainly from central and american Asia from time to time. Yet unlike the favorite misunderstanding, it always maintained their personality and personality split up from their neighbor India who stated that Pakistan was an integral part of Aakhand Bharat (Undivided India) on the basis of history. Thus their partition from India is totally unjustified. But tens of thousands of decades of history of the sub-continent tells an alternative story. It shows people that the areas called Pakistan nowadays had regularly kept as an individual, compact and another geographical and political entity since historical times.

Few persons would be aware of the real history of Pakistan however; few might realize that the oldest rock instrument on earth, dating back again to 2.2 million decades was found at Rabat, about fifteen miles far from Rawalpindi and the largest hand Guitar was found in the Soan Valley. And to prime everything, the site of the very first settled life on the planet dating back again to the 8th millennium BC has been available at Mehergarh in the Sibi districts of Balochistan. Although Pakistan, as an independent state dates only from September 14th, 1947 and the state itself can trace their origins just to a couple ages before, the areas of Pakistan are heir to one of the wealthiest and the earliest civilizations and settlements of the world.

Indus Valley Society

The Indus Area Civilization or the Harappan Civilizationi is one of the very most intriguing and the oldest civilizations actually known. It flourished between 3000 and 1500 BC by the banks of Lake Indus or Sind in Pakistan. This civilization existed along the Indus Stream in current day Pakistan with its main stores at Mohenjodaro in Sind, Harappa in the Punjab, Kej in the Baluch place and Judeiro Daro in the Pathan region. It's usually believed that the inhabitants of Indus Area Civilization were Dravidians who came to sub-continent from western Mediterranean. pak24tv

This civilization reached their climax about both metropolitan centers of Mohenjodaro and Harappa. These cities are well-known for their remarkable, arranged and standard layout. These were the stores of arts and crafts. Based on Steve Marshal, the Harappan everyone was literate and used the Dravidian language ii that will be one of many world's first known languages. Their main occupation was agriculture and trade. The society is significant for its strong central government, sense for art and architecture and home planning.

Flood is regarded as being the destroyer of this lifestyle due to which agriculture got disrupted and industry routes affected which led most the people to migrate to other fertile lands. Those who were put aside dropped prey to the Aryan invasion. The society survived for fifteen hundred years.

Arrival of the Aryans

In about 1700 BC, Indus Valley persons found the arrival of new horse-riding nomads from Central Asia ultimately causing the final decrease of these prosperous and innovative Indus Civilization. The Aryans came in at the very least two important waves in Pakistan. The very first wave came about 2000 BC and the next wave came at least six centuries later. It had been after the 2nd trend of Aryans intrusion which they became dominant and their language spread over the entire size and breadth of the region. They joined through the Swat Pit from the northwest pile passes and forced the area persons or the Dravidians (the folks of Indus Civilization) southwards or towards the woodlands and mountains in north. They resolved first in Punjab and Indus Area and then spread eastward and southward. Unlike Indus people Aryans were uncivilized race. Their religious texts and individual stays claim that the Aryans were severe in their invasions. They killed the people and burnt their cities. The same view was opined by Stuart Piggot in his book Pre-historic India:

"The Aryan advent was in fact the birth of barbarians into a spot currently extremely arranged in to an empire centered on a lengthy established custom of literate urban lifestyle ".

Besides being durable practitioners Aryans were also experienced farmers and craftsmen. These were the worshippers of character and their religious publications were called Vedas. Aryans were tall, well-built and; had appealing features and good appearance while the people of Indus Pit were dark, smooth nosed and of short stature. The Indus persons published to the superior Aryans and became their slaves. This fact later became the foundation of Caste program so as of superiority such as for example Brahmans (priest) Kashatryas (warriors) and Vaisyas (business community and commoners). The Dravidians were put into fourth and termed as Sudras (slaves).

Persian Empire

In the 6th century BC, Darius invaded Pakistan and made the Indus plain and Gandhara part of his Persian Empire of the Achaemenid, together with his capital at Persepolis in Iran. It absolutely was from then onwards that the town of Taxila started to cultivate and the location found the rise of another great society named the Gandhara Society protecting most of the northern Pakistan with capitals at equally Pushkalavati (Charsadda) and Takshka-sila (Taxila).

Included in the Persian Empire, the region yet again rose to zenith. Trade with Iran and the west resumed yet again, economy flourished, tools and different things of day-to-day use were produced. Charsadda and Taxila became the stores of activity. Among the best universities of the ancient world was created at Taxila. It was only at that university that Chandra Gupta Maurya got his knowledge, who later created the Maurya Empire in South Asia. This affluent Achaemenian Empire that extended from Pakistan to Greece and Egypt, nevertheless, collapsed underneath the assault of Alexander of Macedonia.

Alexander's Intrusion

Alexander entered Pakistan from the upper course at Swat and conquered the Gandharan area between 327 and 325 BC. He reached Taxila first. The Raja of Taxila understanding Alexander's great army's status gave him a delightful in place of resistance. Alexander slept at Taxila for some time then came across Raja Porus who had been the ruler of the territories east of Jehlum. Then gone as much as Water Beas from wherever his military declined to get further, therefore then came down through the whole amount of Pakistan, crossed the Centre Lake near Karachi and departed for home desperate on the way. Alexander's intrusion produced Greek knowledge and research to Taxila.

Up until here it's notable that all through each settlements and invasions might that be of the Indus Area Civilization, Aryans or throughout the fifty per cent of a millennium period after Aryan's migrations and during the Persian Empire, Pakistan generally stood as a different entity from India and the period covered by these settlements is all about 2200 years.

Mauryan Empire

Alexander's premature decline at Babylon in 323 B.C triggered the breakup of his vast empire in to two components (The Byzantine Empire and Bacterian Greeks). The control of this area thus fell to the fingers of native dynasties and tribes. Chandragupta Maurya was the founder of Maurya Empire who marched in to the Gangetic plains, conquered the Nanda Kings and established a solid government at a place named Magadha (present Bihar). However, it must be observed he ruled from India but he was a boy of Potohar region and a Prince of Taxila. He followed Jainism. His grandson Ashoka was a Buddhist.

Manik / Deer

Today is Maya day 10 Manik (Kej in Aztec) and is represented by the mighty deer (synonymous with horse in Maya language). Because deer stand on four legs, they are referred to as “the pillars of the universe” and thought to hold up both the earth and the sky. Manik are guardians of nature, symbolic of all that comes in groups of fours: directions, elements, the four states of being (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual), the four states of the day (dawn, noon, sunset, midnight), the four seasons, and the seasonal equinoxes and solstices that mark the passing of time itself. Manik days are meant to be spent in reflection, in nature, and to honor the energy within you that is spiritually connected to the energy that unites us all. By honoring our spiritual lineage, we are able to gain strength to bear the pain of being alive for Manik energy is strong and enduring. Manik periods are a great time to harness this energy to innovate and investigate -- to explore areas of life, spirituality, and establish order within the world. In peaceful times, Manik periods are relatively uneventful when authority and order is granted and obeyed. However, in the unrest that marks current times, Manik periods reflect ongoing challenges to outdated hierarchical structures and systems that no longer serve the needs of society.

People born on Manik days are driven caretakers of their community, adamant in their beliefs, and quick to stand up for their principles. Although general peaceful, they refuse to back down from confrontation. They struggle with wanting freedom but looking for security, and they commonly leave home at an early age to gain independence. Their confident bohemian attitude is infectious and intense, and Manik people will use their implicit power to establish authority in their work, in their home, or in their own wandering life. Eternally curious, they are known for breaking the rules of convention to find unique solutions. People born under this sign are always able to see opportunities when they arise yet are keenly aware of the difficulties contained within. They are artistically inclined and love to be appreciated for their work in the arts, yet are loathe to bare their soul as they are terrified of criticism. On the low side, Manik can become vain, inflexible, and scattered especially when they have notoriously bitten off more than they are able to take on. Procrastination is an ongoing issue with Manik people and can easily turn their lighthearted nature into a destructive pit of uncompleted projects and unpaid bills. They need to work at avoiding this downward spiral as it fosters their escapist tendencies and crushes their spirit. Their relationships tend to be intense and can quickly veer into obsessiveness. Because of their relentless search for authority, they are equally as likely to fight for the cause of good as they are for evil.  

Words used to describe people born under this sign are principled, artistic, innovative, intense, clever, caretaker, opportunistic, assertive, upbeat, optimistic, authoritative, curious, investigative, adventurous, masculine, wandering, fame-seeking, leader, escapist, dominating, aggressive, sensitive
