sometimes

"your fate is in your hands"

i don't believe in that, to be honest.

that being said, I'm not someone who is not proactive. i actively pursue my dreams and go all out to achieve what i set out to achieve. i am dedicated and committed and believe that i am in control of my happiness.

however, i am also a firm believer of fate, destiny and divine intervention.

i believe what's mine will be mine.

because sometimes humans don't know what they want.

because humans err.

and i am only human.

Rammstein (Volkerball) - Mein Teil


i came across this band called RAMMSTEIN at HMV couple of days ago.

HMV was airing the video at the store and induced jaw-dropping stares at the tv screen amongst many, including myself.

WHY?

because it is so dramatic & theatrical, nobody in the right mind (except CJY) wouldnt pay them any attention.

i was DEEPLY DISTURBED by the music & by the band but mostly by their antics.

GROSS. Absolute GROSS STUFF.

their music sounded satanic & demonic and the people who went for the concert, sadly belongs to a different league from mine.

they look like they're possessed. i think i look normal.

the one video that shocked me the most had to be this one. the lead singer was covered in "blood" (more like red paint) then sang with a microphone with a butcher knife attached at the bottom and roasting someone (the keyboardist) in a "pot".

HOW SICK IS THAT?

i did a google on Rammstein and went to wikipedia where i read all about them.

and came across a para that mentioned that they have a song inspired by some cannibal.

then i googled on that cannibal's name and read all about it.

spooked me to my spines can.

the guy went online to search for a willing victim to be devoured. someone actually answered that ad. OMG.

anyway story is the cannibal chopped his penis off and they both ate it. the "willing victim" actually requested the cannibal to chew the penis off but the attempts failed. anyway i cannot reiterate the story without feeling spooked.

so read the story here yourself.

then i realised that song was the disgusting video that i saw at HMV which is this one that i posted.

i wouldnt have tainted my blog like this but i guess i have to, in order to make a point.

wikipedia also suggested that the media chastised them for being demonically influenced and having a demonic influence on kids. especially since the people behind a certain massacre were worshippers of Rammstein.

of course they fended themselves and said its easy for the media to blame the music and ask people to find out the cause of those deaths and not question the murderer's taste in music.

then i immediately thought of Eminem. many chastised eminem for promoting homophobia with his song stan. but i love that song to bits and i think i can tell the difference between people poking fun at reality with music and carrying a joke too far.

however i cant say the same for Rammstein.

why do you have to drench yourself in red paint so they look like blood? why is the blood concentrated around your mouth? why do you have to carry that GOD DAMN MICROPHONE?

why are you dressed like a butcher? why do you have to simulate a cooking scene with your keyboardist?

kids. troubled kids might think its alright and attempt to do it.

we all know how much music can influence us.

I for one is very much influenced by music. Im sure many musicians can too.

Rammstein proclaimed that they do not wish to be politically involved blah blah blah.

then they have to stop being so outlandish.

i totally think they're sending out the wrong message with their music and everyone who adores their music are sick.

i get spooked just by listening to them sia.

absolutely disgusting.

and what is the MOST AMAZING PART?

this song is nominated for the Grammys for Best Metal Performance in 2005.

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.

talk about propaganda.






AS IF

it's as if youtube or blogger heard my ranting on the new google blogger platform.

i am now ABLE to post videos from youtube!

Finally.

choices

i caught the last bit of harry potter last night and heard that Gandolf-lookalike-professor said something.

because harry thought he and that demon valdemot had similarities and was worried. i mean if i & saddam had similarities, i would be worried too.

truth is saddam & me had similarities - cos we're born on the same day.

and the prof said we're all born into this world with some innate abilities that is unique to us.

so people might be similar due to alot of reasons: like being born on the same day or sharing the same horoscope, or sharing the same life sign.

what makes us different is the choices we made.

and then it made so much sense.

sometimes i need intellectual people with intellectual spoutings to make me realise that i am not such a failure after all.

on a lighter note, happy holidays.

Happy Valentines
