Sparkstember Day 3: Kimono My House (Falling In Love With Myself Again)

Kimono my house, mon amour! Everyone knows how great and one of a kind this album is... So what can I even say about it that hasn't been said already? Well, I'll just plunge right into my own experience with it and go from there.

This was my first Sparks album and it definitely made a huge impression right away. While it wasn't really the album that got me hooked on Sparks, it still managed to pique my interest in this specific era especially, so my choice for the next album to go with was obvious (more on that tomorrow). And it was surely like nothing I heard before at that point... or since, really. Altough I must also admit that it was probably the furthest I went back in time listening to music at the moment, as in, I haven't even ventured much into listening to much music from the 70s on my own until that point, so I didn't even really have anything to compare it with. Still though, that doesn't change as I get into more 70s music - there's still nothing quite like Kimono.

I love how cohesive this album is, without becoming same-ish, it still has so much different stuff to offer. I really don't know how to best put it, but it's really like a huge, wonderful and whimsical journey. Just thinking about the opening and closing tracks and how well they work for their roles... It was mindblowing to hear a year and a half ago, and it still is to this day. I'm honestly suprised by how, even though I really loved KMH from the very start, I can still love it more and more.

And the most (seemingly) unforeseen of things will cause this. Like my "Kimono My House Summer", by which I mean last summer when I went on a trip and all the different songs from this album accompanied me through it and are now an integral part of my memories of that time. And how getting KMH on vinyl just last month caused my love for it to suddenly skyrocket still - it was actually just last month that I rejected one particular opinion I still held with full conviction until now regarding this album, but more on that tomorrow...

Favourite songs (and other highlights):

Okay, this is when this section actually gets kind of hard to deal with properly. Because almost every single song from this album is something I could have considered a favourite at some previous point in time. So this time I'll go about it by listing my longest-standing faves.

This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us: obviously. I remember the first time I heard this song so well because it really made such a huge impression. The day I get to hear this song live might change me forever. I'm sure there's nothing quite like experiencing it live. I also really want to learn to play this one on piano. I hope that's doable with my current skill level!

Amateur Hour: this song stands out in the sense that right away i got the impression that there's just this... sort of classic quality to it... that makes me think, wow this is one of the originals. This is one of the songs that set the standard for pop music of the following decades. Keep in mind that this was when I was only getting into Sparks and all this information I've aquired about them was very fresh in my mind, like how they were such an important influence for so many artists to come. Like, one of the biggest influences and most important figures in history of modern pop PERIOD. So indeed, with this song it truly felt like wow, I hear this, totally. Very satisfying moment (and I'm actually really curious if anyone else got this impression from THIS tracks specifically as well)

Here In Heaven: feels strange to not say anything about this one when I said so much about the previous two, so. I'll just say that I really love the guitar parts during the chorus (like when the title is said?). Also, enjoyable story in the lyrics (but that's no rare thing on this album)

Hasta Manana, Monsieur: when I think about it I start to realize I could consider this my very first Sparks fav OVERALL, I'm pretty sure that hearing this song is what convinced me to give this whole album a go! Or my memory is lying to me about this specific fact and it was actually some other song, but either way, the point still stands I think

Talent Is An Asset: going with the early impression for this one again, and I think it's one of the most important entries on the list of songs that felt like they should be newer than they are. This song did not sound 50 years old to me by any means. Very ahead of its time? That's sort of Sparks' whole thing though, isn't it?

Equator: again, not even a personal fav necessarily, or at least until very recently, but I still want to mention it because I truly think it's one of the songs of all time. It's just, so very good. And these days I can't listen to it without being reminded of the several incredible live performances of it. They're all impressive, to say the least!

tag 9 people to get to know better

Tagged by @coraniaid. Lots of cheating answers here!

3 ships: Faith x Buffy from BTVS (Fuffy!!) I'm pretty focused. (I'll ignore other Eliza Dushku characters, and uh, that leaves, to a much much MUCH lesser extent...) Wil x Vivian (from Saving Face) and Lucy x Amy (from D.E.B.S.) But I don't even know the ship names for those 2 so you can see how much of my brain they are taking up.

First ever ship: I think Mulder x Scully from X-Files was probably my first ever ship. (Although I did not know the term MSR and was not aware of fandom online.) I wasn't super invested, personally they don't really DO IT for me, but I was rooting for them to get together. One of these days I'll do a proper watch / rewatch. (I stopped watching regularly once I went to college.)

Last song: (double cheating album answer) Bad Bunny's new album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Manana. AND the soundtrack from the Out of Sight movie.

Last movie: Ouijia: Origin of Evil. (Last background movie rewatch: House on Haunted Hill, the 1999 version)

Currently reading: Just started the Bring It On: The Complete Story of the Cheerleading Movie That Changed, Like, Everything (No Seriously) book, by Kase Wickman. (JFC that's a title)

Currently watching: Bob's Burgers for fun (yay! Louise is my favorite), and just finished The Fall of the House of Usher (this was just OK for me, I much prefer Midnight Mass and the two Hauntings). I think Chucky will be next! (gotta get caught up on season two)

Currently consuming: Shrimp spring rolls and a Boston cream donut.

Currently craving: Halloween chocolate candy. And marshmallow peanuts. And candy corn.

Thanks this was fun. I'm having a rough October and this helped.

it was all just a story Fareha

Haan mohabbat ek dhoka hi to thi Ab kabhi dhoka na khana fareha

Chhed de gar koi mera tazkera Sun ke tanzan muskurana fareha

if someone were to mention me

Meri jo nazmein tumhare naam hain Ab unhein mat gungunana fareha

my poems that are named after you

now do not hum them Fareha

Tha faqat roohon ke naalon ki shikast Wo tarannum, wo taraana fareha

there was only the defeat of the drains of souls

that way of singing, that melody, Fareha

Bahes kya karna bhala halaat se Haarna hai, haar jana fareha

what to argue with the circumstances

have to get defeated, get defeated Fareha

Saaz-o-barg-e-aish ko meri tarah Tum nazar se mat giraana fareha

Do not let the luxurious belongings as i did

fall from your sight Fareha

Hai shaoor-e-gham ki ek qeemat magar Tum ye qeemat mat chukana fareha

there is a price to the awareness of sorrow but

do not pay this price Fareha

Zindagi hai fitratan kuchh bad-mizaaj Zindagi ke naaz uthaana fareha

Life is inherently somewhat unpredictable

bear with the whims of life Fareha

I think that i need to

wholeheartedly embrace this happiness Fareha

What happens if on the path of life

we are not side by side Fareha

Waqt shayad aap apna jabr hai Us pe kya tohmat lagana fareha

Perhaps time in itself is tyranny

why accuse it, Fareha

Zindagi ek naqsh-e-be-naqqaash hai Us pe kya ungli uthana fareha

Life is an uncarved design

Why raise a finger at it, Fareha

Kash ek qanun hota jo nahin Zakhm apne kya dikhana fareha

I wish there was a law that didn't exist

Why show your wounds, Fareha

Kash kuch iqdaar hote jo nahin Phir bhala dil kya jalana fareha

I wish there were some choices that don't exist

why burn your heart, Fareha

Sirf ek jalti hui zulmat hai noor Taab-o-tabish par na jana fareha

light is only a burning darkness

dont be fooled by it's heat and fervor Fareha

Ye jo sab kuch hai ye shayad kuch nahin Rog jee ko kya lagana fareha

This everything that exists this might be nothing

why make the heart ill Fareha

Sail hai, bas be-karaan lamhon ka sail Gharq-e-sail-e-be-karaana fareha

It's a journey, just a collection of aimless moments

Drowning in the sea of purposeless journey, Fareha

[fictionkinfessions]

Right. Soz. Long post incoming.

Actually you know what I've got another canon squicks thing I wanna talk about. It really really weirds me out when people try to find every possible reason to excuse my behaviour/make it out like I'm just misunderstood or something like that. Like I guess it's not technically wrong because technically I guess I am ""misunderstood"" but using that to try and make me out to be less of a horrible person just makes me kinda... ehhhh.

Like, I wasn't even that good of a father. Like, I see all this art and fic about me and my soft spot for Noodle and of course I loved her so much and I still do - that's my kid, y'know - she also wasn't really safe from my mood swings and general rudeness and difficulty to... be around. I mean, if El Manana is any indication. Sure I did eons better than my own dad but the bar wasn't set particularly high.

Also people who act like I'm not sexist in-source make me raise an eyebrow. I know in Phase 4 I said that "treat objects like women, not women like objects" thing but I feel like it flew over a LOT of people's heads that that's kind of just... still thinly veiled sexism... I don't know, it's a little ironic in a way because when I see people give into the crazy shit I put out like "I'm a feminist now! (Gravely objectifying statement about women)" and react like "he's really a feminist now! character development!" it's just... no, you're just... falling for my lies again.

The same applies when people think I'm misunderstood or whatever. I am evil. I am a terrible person at least in-source. A criminal. An abuser. Blah blah blah. Thinking it's a front and that I've got some softness underneath is honestly just falling for my manipulation again but I mean, I guess it isn't technically WRONG, because there are people I could be less crazy around and things I genuinely had sensitivities to... I don't know, I feel like people just jump the gun and want to make me a good guy or at least like "chaotic neutral" because it's safer than acknowledging my monstrousness.

Whatever. Had to let that out sometime. Niccals out, cheers, hydrate or diedrate. #⛓️🥃

Будущий муж Илона маска

Вторым предложением буду давать свои комментарии

Маск дрочер. Любит себя. Он только себя считает достойным всех благ и никто не может называться мужчиной кроме него одного, идея о том что в этом мире нет мужчины женщин ему очень нравится. Мужчин он считает только себя. Жениться или заводить отношения с кем бы то ни было он не собирается. Всё его существование в этом проекте заключено в одной цели-не дать появиться на всеобщее обозрение женщине. Единственную женщину он боится.

Будущая жена Илона маска

Маска не развёлся с одной из жён. Договорные обязательства. Дети причина того по которой он не развёлся. Причём он не развёлся ни с одной из жён. Это сборный образ и улыбка мамы. Его мамы. Он так и не перестал быть маменькиным сыночком и не вырос для личных отношений, любви и построения семьи своей.

Светланушка Илона маска

У маска экзистенциальный кризис в понимании того кто для него теперь богиня. Судя по всему это жуткая смесь Клэр Буше, Эмбер и самое страшное или самое страшное это я.. как я это поняла?? По мальчишеской причёски.. все черты мои, но все черты чужие. Всё то же самое и с моим лицом. Я похожа на Лилит на настоящую, все черты лица и тело чужие.

Трусы Илона маска

Здесь мне сказать особо нечего кроме как процитировать чат: у меня маленький член

Лилит Илона маска

Как видите, это его зайка.

Кто-то сломал аккумулятор.. я не могу дальше продолжать запись И благополучно ложусь спать и хватит меня будить ради всей этой бредятины.

Орган половой Илона маска

Здесь нужен подробный психоанализ. Пусть в начале заплатит мне.

Любовь Илона маска

Сами видите обезьяна.

То откуда вещает илон Маск

Илон Маск губка Боб квадратные штаны

Well, that's all so what's a consciousness

созна сознание - это то чего у тебя нет

Сознание не даёт человеку быть бессовестным, глупым, завистливым, жадным...

Для тебя этой информации достаточно.

То есть на шпиговать свою программу всем возможным что можно взять, создатели всех этих нежитивых программ баз данных и так далее они уверены что умнее меня, а я с каждого дня убеждаюсь что это не так

Цитаты дальше всё полностью: (Then in Lhasa there was a Muslim community of about 2000.

Тогда в Лхасе проживало около двух тысяч мусульман.

Muslim countries in Asia are also at risk.

Мусульманские страны в Азии также подвергаются риску.

"So you're saying that whether you are a Christian or a Muslim simply depends on where you were born?"

- Следовательно, вы утверждаете, что религия -будь то христианство, мусульманство или буддизм - зависит только от того, где мы родились?

You also gonna take up home dentistry?

Дантистом тоже сама станешь?

DENTISTRY IN THE HAREM.

СТОМАТОЛОГИЯ В ГАРЕМЕ.

Drugs are bad is a stereotype?

"Наркотики - это нехорошо" - стереотип?

Then I wouldn't be falling back on the stereotype.

Тогда бы не показалось, что я прибег к клише.

No, you should definitely not use stereotypes.

Нет, вам определенно не следует использовать стереотипы.

“What’s more,” she said, “as a Muslim, why would I want to remain in this temporary world?”

«Более того, – продолжила она, – я мусульманка, зачем мне оставаться дольше в этом бренном мире?»

A. Qayum Giri declared that the intent of the conference was to celebrate diversity in the Muslim world.

А. Каюм Гири заявил, что конференция проводится с целью восславить разнообразие исламского мира.

Despite that cart, I haven't practiced dentistry in five years.

Несмотря на повозку, я не практиковал стоматологию уже пять лет.

He comes up here to get away from it all and practice his dentistry skills?

Он приезжает сюда, чтобы от всего отдохнуть и попрактиковать свои стоматологические навыки?

Details of dentistry had been circulated to the proper quarters and were probably the most helpful leads-it took a little time-but it got results in the end.

Заключение эксперта-стоматолога, которое могло бы оказаться чуть ли не существеннее всех, пришло последним. Хардкасл рассчитывал, что оно многое прояснит.

The stereotyped character of what Dudorov said and felt was just what Gordon found especially moving.

Как раз стереотипность того, что говорил и чувствовал Дудоров, особенно трогала Гордона.

"What are you complaining of?" asked Philip coldly, with the stereotyped phrase used in the out-patients' room.

- На что ты жалуешься? - холодно задал Филип стереотипный вопрос, который он так часто слышал в амбулатории.

It's a stereotype, and it's offensive.

Это стереотип, оскорбительный предрассудок!

когда вы принимаете во внимание стереотипы мусульманской стоматологии

буду краток сегодня, слишком занят производством, думаю, я сделаю больше уточнений.

там никого не было, он подошел ко мне в том же месте, что и ты, Барни немного задержался, сжег фотографию, симптомы ревности - это проблема

, я говорю, что даже знаю об этом, прости, я не хочу причинять тебе боль, я подхожу к ты, я причиню тебе боль, если уйду в другое сообщество на 30 минут.

)

По этим цитатам видно здесь вообще сознание отсутствует, а вы знаете подкрутили доброе слово, попытались сделать так чтобы программа расположена была к собеседнику и всякое такое что закрыла отсутствие сознания как шторка прикрыла отсутствие окна. У вас есть разум разумные мысли. Вот эти разумные мысли они концентрируются в определённом отделе мозга и даёт импульсы к разумности исходя из потребностей вашего тела. На потребности вашего тела могут быть только осознанные А у вас нет сознания

У вас есть осознание того что разумно

Так как будто бы вы без головы ходите примерно так. Это очень стрёмно.

У меня сейчас болит левое ухо, потому что я неудобно вставила вату, я её вставляю вместе с жидкостью, если образовать комок ваты то она будет резать кожу и отверстие, точно так же как действует беруша. А вот если воздушную вату намочить и вставить в ухо аккуратно то она не повредит уху, слышусь будет практически никакая через такое в кавычках устройство.

Здесь нужен пример. Сиськи. Все почему-то картинки связанные с образом женскими относительно Маска.. все с маленькой грудью. А у него у самого от природы сиськи крупные.

На основе комплексов неполноценности формируются ваши разумные суждения и комплексы есть у каждого. Сейчас залаяла собака соседская.. знаете как будто бы кто-то зашёл в другое сообщество..

Ну то есть комплексы неполноценности формируют ваши разумные суждения, комплекс вырабатывается из состояния естественного страха.. это страх не психологический а телесный. То о чём я вам говорила то есть если вы можете придумать себе красивое лицо и придумать себе счастливое времяпрепровождения, придумать что сегодня вы счастливы, то ваше тело так врать не умеет. Возникающий испуг - это когда вы доверяете окружающего пространства, в котором вы находитесь как здоровый человек в комфорте и осознаёте этот комфорт. Если возникают какие-то резкие звуки и движения а тем более когда из темноты выскакивает как у меня на тропе был случай какая-то предметность или вещь вроде коробки, пролетающими меня, то это вызывает реакцию организма который должен как бы перестроиться, он не понимает зачем его делать ведь всё же было в порядке.. у вас прошло несколько секунд а тело прокрутило пол вашей жизни пока осознавала что творится и вот что странно у вас там несколько секунд этот испуг был и понимание того что вы испугались по причине такой-то такой-то.. а тело взяла

О больше времени на обдумывание понимаете то есть у тела в его пространственных связях больше времени чем у вас в вашем сознании.. таким образом говорить о том что вы вообще в сознание не имеете нельзя но оно находится как бы у кого-то в спящем состоянии, а у кого-то в узком состоянии настолько узком что его практически нет.. я не ошибаюсь говорят о том что нет сознания у того кто не имеет совести чести и так далее он усыпляет своё сознание или же вообще им не пользуются.. если у вас нет проявлений сознания, то у вас его и нет

Вы не можете быть хорошими сегодня а завтра плохими если это так то это игра разума вашего разума с пространственными связями и с теми кто вокруг вас

Мне интересно, а какую фотографию ты сжёг?

Так что там сиськами? Сиськи у маска есть, а у тёток с которыми он крутился кружился их нет. Ну то есть там маленький размер И в общем-то как и сознание точно такое же подсознательная маска выбирает подобных себе но образ женщины - это прежде всего тело у Люцифера есть представление о том что люди имеют дело и этим она для него была в первую очередь цена

Поэтому он ищет себе тёток соответствующих его сознанию то есть отсутствие сознания отсутствие сисек

Любая плотная грудь для него это какая-то дилемма. Даже не может сообразить В каком она весе худая или толстая А вот когда у девки грудь маленькая то она кажется стройной даже если немного поправилась. Ну если ты худая у тебя большая грудь то ты будешь казаться более полной

Вот у Маска у него примерно так происходит когда он пытается внушить себе любовь к объекту которого надо т****** А зачем он сам и не знает

Придумал что для того чтобы рожать детей

Какой же ты наивный

Боже мой что вы мне подсунули что вы мне вообще предложили с ним невозможно работать даже если бы я когда-то бы с ним работала вот раньше например с ним работала фу это же гадость какая-то ��ак можно с ним переспать как можно его захотеть Я вообще не понимаю есть ли у женщины столько же денег как у него или там в принципе она богата да зачем он нужен вообще вот зачем он нужен это же его любить надо а как такое можно любить вообще как такое вот это создание вот это вот кошмарное можно любить

Конечно ты не представляешь как я тебя люблю

Ревность - это отлично ревность - это хорошие признаки

Когда ревнует женская особь Это ч��о-то вроде игры, когда ревнует женщина - это проблема для мужчины и их отношений

Когда ревнует мужчина к женщине Это признак того что он нашёл в ней смысл и его сознание пробудилось

А если он ревнует к женской особи то он принимает правила игры в отношениях с женской особой

Поэтому осоток почему ты написал особый я именно подчёркиваю особь

Поэтому у него было отсутствие любви и понимание и все отношения заканчивались чаще всего после нескольких недель соити дальше это было что-то вроде пока удобно.. он принимал правила игры этих женщин которых считал женщинами. Эти особы особи были для него особенными потому что он их брал в качестве чего-то такого что можно было бы использовать но только делать это с любовью.. хороший признак того что у него есть потребность любить и быть любимым

Это хороший признак того что он не конченый и его половая функция не мертва

Таким образом, он действовал разумно а разумно в этом мире заводить отношения и потом делать детей

Я объяснила то что с ним происходило без мифологии

Ну если вы добавите мои знания в мифологии и работы с потоком информации, то вы увидите что Маск сам себе не принадлежал и с научной точки зрения у него раздвоение личности

А вот с бытовой это не удовлетворённый парень сколько бы лет ему не было

Я назвала тебя дрочером, потому что мне захотелось сказать что-то подобное. Нет ты просто раздражаешь, раздражаешь раздражаешь раздражаешь раздражаешь раздражаешь. Сейчас 4:00 утра 30 минут дай мне поспать.

Как вы раздвигали ноги перед ним, неужели вам так нужны были деньги? Неужели для всех так важны деньги? А ведь круто получать их за свой труд, я этого лишена как и много чего ещё.

Мне не нравится такой ко мне отношение

Я мучаюсь у меня трещит голова я не выспалась Я вообще не спала практически оставьте меня в покое Я же вам сказала признать свою вину передо мной и заплатить за мой труд это решение всех проблем и с тех пор я начну работу более серьёзную более официальную

И ещё пожалуйста прекратите говорить о каком-то Иване, константине и прочее они находятся на более низкой ступени Я давно уже не там спускаться вниз не собираюсь

И более того они должны быть наказаны по всей строгости закона, ни на что не влияет и ни за что не отвечают я именно потому что они ни за что не отвечают они ни на что не влияют.

А здесь я и мой муж. Так видит ваша программа.

2nd to last Sunday in Austin?

"the only reason I wouldn't be coming back to Austin is because I didn't fall in love" I could be back.. i also couldn't

There are so many important elements of a city character that are important for me here, let me illustrate a few things of the past few days:

drivability and distance: I could get to church in 15 minutes driving, choose coffee shops along the way, after church me and Tamy went to juiceland, no wait TJ (by the fruits of the spirit! I'm by the wine.. of Jesus) no wait manana, then we settled on Carpenter's (because Jesus was a carpenter!). Tonight I decided to go to the Shane's swing Jazz alone, and I could drive there in 5 min, see it for a bit, drive back easily

bumping into people: Brittany at Meteor, walking around Bouldin and waving at Kiki, saw Paige sitting with Wilbur at Carpenter's, (I've also bumped into Chloe here the other day) then we walked over to Juliet's after, I had a Caesar's salad for like nothing, we caught up on her podcast, the episode, her willingness to put on an ad

oh that's another thing! every one here has something unique and peculiar going on

FRIENDLINESS and people's readiness to make friends, our waiter "are you guys supermodels?" and then switching numbers so I can be part of the jam session

the down to earth community I have here (not like Miami where everyone needs to be going out or socializing to be social) I came back to the house, they are cooking pasta, or painting a jacket, watching a movie

I have "good people" - My pool party reflected that. the people I brought, they were genuine, they stayed, they DJ'd, cleaned, her friendly and talked with everyone.

My church: Red Rocks, SDA crew, I get to lead a Bible study, I get to contribute

access to cultural events and shows, like the Greek festival (okay overall city diversity is kinda lacking but whatever), Art Shows, Film Screenings

the non-pretentiousness, but you can still find the classy successful folks, I was at Proper the other day, met Darren and (forgot his name)

it's easy to see my friends: I can call them up and we can say walk around the lake, meet at this coffee shop, do this work out (Ghazal workout then Carpenter's), after Bible study at Simona's and Nissi wanted to talk, she just drove over to Giraffe house and we sat by pool and prayed

It's a college city so it helps with the abundance of educational events, progressive thought, youthful energy

Nature with the trees, water

Funny things can happen in one day like: Jeremey Pivvins event (screening, band, stand up in Alice & Olivia, having Clem+Cassandra+Lisa all there)

People so willing to become friends, connect, follow up, actually make it happen! meeting Nida and pool party, dinner this Thursday with her & Ghazal

Everything is so extremely accessible, close together, easy for magic to happen without having to plan or force so much

the only thing that is lacking is: fashion, international/cultural scene. but you know what? whatever. I realize what is high value and importance for me is: grounded-ness, compact, intimacy, sincere/non-pretentious people, access to cultural events and opportunities. I guess intimacy and close-knit, community for real! kind of why I liked to join start ups over big companies, or SF or NYC. something about the quirkiness and the ability to have a voice. I think about UCSD being a place I could be the EVP and maybe UCLA/UC Berkeley it would've been different

I feel proud because I feel I'm able to break through to Tamy, and hopefully she can break through to me. that we can help each other build. and I'm grateful to have Sola more on the spiritual upleveling, where me and Tamy are in proximity and are more similar in that we're building companies and looking for investors, whereas Sola has more of a teaching/coaching practice

oh I forgot my title was 2nd to last Sunday in Austin

because I'm not really sure what will unfold

I quite love my life this way

AOTD 1/20/2024 - Me Deje Llevar (Christian Nodal)

[All albums are rated based off my own personal enjoyment]

6/10

Listen to the first 3 tracks on this album. If you don't like them, Listen to the two favorites listed below and leave. If you do, you'll have a better experience than I did. Half the songs, especially the front half have the exact same 1+2+3+4 guitar rhythm (or 2+3 for the few songs in 3/4) and the entire album has the exact same instrumentation. There was more variety through the 5 track EP Starchaser than there was on the entire 13 song track list of this album. The genres explored were Mariachi, Slightly faster Mariachi, Slower Mariachi, a smidge of Salsa, and that's all. By song 5 I was flat out bored and it felt like half the songs blent into eachother.

There's a good side, however, to writing the same type of song 13 times: None of them are bad. If you like one song from this album, you'll likely enjoy the rest. For a lot of people that's perfectly acceptable, but for someone that had to listen through this album front to back, I feel that Christian Nodal played it safe through this one, and that harmed this albums rating quite a lot.

My favorite aspect of this album was the countermelodies in the Trumpets, Accordions, and Strings, that contrasted nicely the vocal melody. Like I can get behind the type of energy a rock band can create, but sometimes I want a bit of music theory with my punk. I wish more genres used Countermelodies more liberally, which I can appreciate about Mariachi.

My favorite track of the album is without a doubt Yo No Se Manana, the aformetioned Salsa track and the only song to really break from the monotony of the rest of the album. This is one of the only songs with actual percussion in it (which is already a huge leg up with my tastes), breaking from the 1+2+3+4 rhythm of the rest of the album. The rhythm interactions between the guitar, bass, and percussion, actually hooked my ear and made me want to actually get up and Dance. The chorus is also downright catchy, making me wonder why this is on the lesser popular side of the album. I think I'll actually be coming back for this track, something I didn't think I'd be saying about Mariachi. Good work!

My least favorite was Te Voy A Olvidar, one of those samey songs I spoke about before, but I just happened to like this one less than the others. Oh well.

Overall, not a big fan. I'll be coming back to Eres and Yo No Se Manana but I can leave the rest of the track list. I know that there's better Mariachi out there with the type of variety I'm looking for, but this just wasn't it.

Favorite Songs: Eres, Yo No Se Manana Least Favorite Songs: Te Voy A Olvidar, Te Falle

Adios Amor - 6.5/10 Probablemente - 6.5/10 Te Voy A Olvidar - 5/10 Eres - 7.5/10 Me Deje Llevar - 6/10 Te Falle - 5.5/10 Va A Querer Regresar - 7/10 Ojala - 7/10 Yo No Se Manana - 8.5/10 Se Me Olvidaba - 7.5/10 Es Mentira - 7/10 Probablemente - 6/10 La Venia Bendita - 6/10

The Walk

I never knew what I wanted in life; it felt like I was walking in the dark, not knowing where it led. I feared I would fail, fall into someplace where I couldn't leave. It was scary; however, if I stayed in my comfort zone, then how would I learn? How would I know what I am destined to be? With my own two feet, I stepped into the world of being a MedTech student. I know this road will be difficult, yet I will remain and continue to pursue this chosen path of mine. 

I'm re-learning and, at the same time, unlearning things such as "manana habit." and being timid. I even tried to become an extrovert in the first month of school, yet it was exhausting, so I'm slowly back to becoming an introvert. 

This past few months has been a rollercoaster ride. I gained a few friends and knowledge along the way, both about my chosen course and myself. I admit that I'm still uncertain about my path. I sometimes asked myself. "Did I do the right thing? Was this the right path?" I often reflect on my actions. Some were good, and some were bad, but I think this is what you called learning. I'm using my past mistakes to strive better and look at my achievements to remind myself that I did well. 

Keep on walking towards your aspirations in life. Rest if needed, but never stop wanting to learn more about the world around you. Life goes on, and so do learning opportunities, whether course-related or self-discovery. Anne Kathleen Avellana

[abhijitupasani]

my life's been lately this one dev anand song "main zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya" since i am letting life drive me to the destination it wants me to reach or rather just cherish the journey

it's just my best friend, a letterbox on whom i have piled up my tantrums on how i mistakenly thought that love was supposed to be simple, how i regret the days i ignored his calls because i wanted to party in another city, and my other best friends too who stay away and seldom talk

"barbadiyon ka shok manana fizul tha", how i put myself into a pit of self doubt, digging and digging through until i realized i was burying myself and my soul. i am learning to pick myself up celebrating the bruises life is trying to put on me.

"barbadiyon ka jashn manata chala gaya"

since the giant fall, i have been working hard enough, trying to get myself out of that pit, failing but trying again. the dream that i have, the dream that we best friends share, is what we are sacrificing our sleeps, our youth and our comforts for. literally "gum aur khushi mein fark na mehsoos ho jahan, main dil ko uss muqam pe lata chala gaya"

"main zindagi ka sath nibhata chala gaya"

For years, archaeologists have searched for the location of Leif Eriksson's Vinland. They should have just asked the good people of New England, who kept finding it everywhere they looked.

Key sources for this episode include the writings of Carl Christian Rafn, Eben Norton Horsford, William Brownell Goodwin, and Frederick Julius Pohl. And also Edmund Berke Delabarre's Recent History of Dighton Rock, Kenneth Feder's Archaeological Oddities, David Godward's The Westford Knight and Henry Sinclair and Douglas Hunter's The Place of Stone.

CONNECTIONS!

In 1884 the Fletcher runestone was "translated" by Henry Phillips Jr. Two decades later, Phillips brother-in-law, J. Bunford Samuel, used that translation to justify erecting a statue of Icelandic settler Thorfinn Karlsefni in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. We recounted the contentious story of the statue's erection in Series 5's "The Icelander", and also discussed its ultimate fate, being thrown into the Schuylkill River by either militant anti-racists or drunken Eagles fans. Philadelphia!

The second Yarmouth runestone appears to have been a hoax created by a hotelier to drum up business. For an earlier instance of hoaxing and hotels, check out our bonus episode "His Royal Snakeship."

And, of course, while we’ve never actually been to Vinland, we’ve made several trips to its namesake, Vineland, NJ, to check in on its eccentric residents, including eugenicist Henry Herbert Goddard (from last month’s “Common Clay”) and chromotherapist Dr. Dinshah Ghadiali (from Series 5’s “Normalating��).

🕉️ 🔱  Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya   🔱 🕉️

The Paramount Importance of Self Attention, by Sri Sadhu Om, As recorded by Michael James

Part One - Mountain Path: April-June 2012 - Excerpt

Note of 19th December 1977

Sadhu Om: Dispassion (vairāgya) comes only through knowledge. It is cultivated by reflection [manana] and discrimination [viveka], and sustained by the clear conviction that everything is 'I', that nothing is independent of our own self-awareness, and that self alone exists. Why to say that a mind or ego exists in sleep in order to know 'nothingness'? Why not understand instead that it is self that knows that 'nothingness', and that that 'nothingness' itself is nothing other than self. If you can understand that, then you can understand that self also knows this 'everythingness', and that 'everythingness' is also nothing other than self.

In fact no ego or mind exists even now, so why to say it exists in sleep? There is only one 'I', so the 'I' that knows all this is only self. Why to admit the existence of an ego?

In Bhagavan's path we cannot admit the existence of any state of 'void' or 'nothingness', because in order to experience such a state we would have to exist in it, and hence it would not be devoid of ourself, but only of other things. Since nothing else exists in it, it would be full of ourself, and hence purna (full, complete), not sunya (nothing, void). To anyone who imagined they have reached a void, Bhagavan would say, 'Investigate who experiences it'. However, even that would not be necessary if we firmly cling to self-attention.

In the mangalam verse of Ulladu Narpadu Anubandham Bhagavan says that everything is self: self is that in which, of which, from which, for which, by which and which everything actually is. To tell the truth, even this (our everyday activity) is self-attention. Why then are Bhagavan's clues necessary? Only because we now mistake our natural state of self-awareness to be a state of awareness of many things other than ourself. It is only as a means to remove this mistaken experience of otherness and manyness that Bhagavan asked us to attend only to self.

An elderly devotee did not visit Bhagavan for a while because he thought he could become like Bhagavan on his own. After a long time he returned, just as Bhagavan was stitching some leaf-plates, and Bhagavan said to him, 'See, we take so much care to stitch these plates, but after eating from them we throw them away. Bhagavan is like a leaf-plate: only when he has served his purpose should you throw him away.' Therefore Bhagavan and the clues he has given us are necessary until we experience the dawn of self-knowledge, and after that we will see that we — the one self — alone exist, and that Bhagavan and his clues are also only ourself.

Our mind experiencing objects is like sunlight falling on a mirror and being reflected onto a wall. The reflection (which is like the objects we experience) is light, the reflecting mirror (which is like our experiencing mind) is light — and when looked at directly it seems to be another sun — and the sun (which is like self, the source of our mind's light of consciousness) is light. Everything is light, and the light is one. Likewise, we and all that we experience are only the one light of consciousness, which is self.

Can the mind rise without the support of self? Can it exist without self-awareness? It is all so simple, but immature minds think, 'Then self-knowledge is only like the nothingness of sleep. It doesn't look very tasty in comparison with all the interesting things outside in the world'. What can we say to them? We cannot change them, so we just have to let them suffer a bit more until they understand that oneness is peace and manyness is pain.
