To All The Religous Freaks

Straight from Ferraro's blog.

"The irony of religion is that because of its power to divert man to destructive courses, the world actually could come to an end.

"Plain fact is, religion must die for mankind to live. The hour is getting very late to be able to indulge and have key decisions made by religious people, by irrationalists; By those who would steer the ship of state not by a compass, but by the equivalent of reading the entrails of a chicken. George Bush prayed a lot about Iraq, but he didn't learn a lot about it. Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. It's nothing to brag about. And those who preach faith and enable and elevate it, are our intellectual slaveholders - keeping mankind in a bondage to fantasy and nonsense that has spawned and justified so much lunacy and destruction.

"Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings who don't have all the answers to think that they do. Most people would think that it is wonderful when someone says, "I am willing Lord, I will do what ever you want me to do!" Except that since there are no Gods actually talking to us, that void is filled in by people, with their own corruptions, and limitations, and agendas. And anyone who tells you that they know what happens when you die, I promise you, you don't. How can I be so sure? Because I don't know, and you do not possess mental powers that I do not.

"The only appropriate attitude for man to have about the big questions is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion, but doubt. Doubt is humble, and that is what man needs to be considering that human history is just a litany of getting shit dead wrong.

"This is why rational people - anti-religionists - must end their timidity and come out of the closet and assert themselves, and those who consider themselves only moderately religious really need to look in the mirror and realize that the solace and comfort that religion brings you actually comes at a terrible price. If you belong to a political party or a social club that was tied to as much bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, violence, and sheer ignorance as religion is, you'd resign in protest. To do otherwise is to be an enabler - a mafia wife, with the true devils of extremism that draw their legitimacy from the billions of their fellow travellers.

"If the world does come to an end here, or wherever, or if it limps into the future decimated by the effects of a religion-inspired nuclear terrorism, lets remember what the real problem was: that we learned how to precipitate mass death, before we got pass the neurological disorder of wishing for it.

"That's it. Grow up, or die."

Tiny Buddha Quote

@tinybuddha is amazing. If nothing, then that person is the only reason why I got twitter. One of this amazing quotes, and it's absolute truth for me.

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become." ~Buddha

Goal: New York/Los Angeles Film Academy

"New york, new york
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find Im a number one top of the list, king of the hill
A number one

These little town blues, are melting away
Im gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york
And if I can make it there, Im gonna make it anywhere

It up to you - new york new york"
- Frank Sinatra

I've definitely got a goal now. New York Film Academy. They've got two camps, one in L.A. and the other in New York.

I was with a few friends, watching a nice film (The Oxford Murders) and on my way back in the middle of the night, sitting in a buss, I saw an ad and on it it said "Study abroad! Visit Blueberry.nu" and I thought to myself "Why not?". And the next day I visited the site online too see what's what and lo and behold I came across NYFA.

Now, actually studying in NYFA would be an absolute dream come true, I read their site and all their .pdf files up and down and this place is so perfect I hardly know how to justify it by telling you all, so just visit the site NOW.

The biggest problem is financial of course, the price tag is pretty heavy. With the help of CSN and if I get lucky enough to get a scholarship, I AM FUCKING GONE. WOOOHOOO.

I don't want to get a head of myself though. Where I am sitting right now, I have A LOT of work ahead of me before I can even consider applying for a sholarship. I need to finish my high school (I think that's the english "gymnasium" equivilent anyway) degree because I decided what I was doing there at the time wasn't for me, and I was exacly right. I am so glad I dropped out of the shit. And been through a ton of shit since then (I was 18 when I dropped) I NOW finally know exacly what to do in life. So YAY for me.

I am not sure what I need to do or say to get a scholarship. But I think I need to get atleast one year's worth of acting basic education in Kulturama before I can apply for a scholarship with ANY of my dignity intact. But here is the thang you see... what if there is a possibility to apply for one without having had that education, if you show them enough heart and convince them that you are worthy, then I could be gone very very soon (relatively speaking), because I don't know what you need to do or have done to get one of them :(.

Say I done all that, I get the CSN + Scholarship (and I hope to got that it's enough to pay for the school and place to live or else this dream was not-to-be before it even started) where do I go? Los Angeles or New York?

New York is New York innit, I don't need to get a car and shit, but then again, I love the west coast, it's so chill and I got a few amigo's there already! And I hear NY is more of a independent scene while you can get more Hollywood connections if you study in LA. But then again it doesn't matter because if you are fucking good, then you are fucking good and people will (hopefully) notice.

Yes I am getting way ahead of myself, as I always do, but you gotto think and dream big kid. First things first, I need to wrap up my high school grades before I can do shit, so that is first thing on the list (besides getting a job, which is always a passive mission)

Oh and I have to say this. As far as getting things done in a hurry or whatever, really not my thing. I am so at peace with the universe, per se (fuck, gonna sound like a hippie now) that I know good shit is gonna happen so I am not stressed about getting an education, get into NYFA, make a film and be a trillionaire before i am 25. NO!. If it happens tomorrow, then perfect, if thoes things come around when I am 40? Perfect.

Take a chill pill brah, I am suave.

Inglorious Basterds

Now, not wanting to sound like I am sitting on a high horse but, THIS is the sort of film I want to make. And I think I can to be honest, if only you knew what I have in my tiny brain. Shooting it, acting in it, edit it, picking out the score for it, all that. Brilliant

Fuck Valentine's Day

I am saying it in advance.

Fuck Valentine's Day.

How to not fail at life, a guide.

So I was cruising through digg.com a little, and found an amazing "Guide", per se, for life. Obviously I thought it was going to be some funny thingy that you look at for five seconds, laugh, and move on.

But whoever made this strip, probably from 4chan, hit EVERYTHING spot on. It's so good and true that it struck a cord in me. Everyone can take something out of this strip.

A Guide, How Not To Fail At Life

Creative Inspiration

Shifting into first gear

So I thought it was as good as time as any to try to learn how the hell you write a movie/tv show/etc. It always pays off to study in your spare time and since I got more spare time then I can shake a stick at right now I thought it's time to get cracking.

I googled, obviously, for something like "how to write a screenplay" and found this wonderful guide on Screenwriting.info and they have a 22 page guide which is lovely. It was very easy to read through and it made a lot of sense.

I had a small brilliant idea for a TV show that I pitched to my amigo Alex and he seemed to like it. Obviously just a random first idea but the more I think about it the more I like it. Obviously I can't go into too much detail but I will as soon as I can. I am gonna sit on the thought of this show and try to let it "mature" in my head, go over details with good ol' Alexei to see if it is something that we really could write down and maybe perhaps show to some big shot and see what's what. Ya never know. "Every race... starts with a step or sommat" like Karl Pilkington so poeticly put it.

This absolutely blew my brains.

One of the most amazingly interesting articles I have ever read, so I am straight up copying and pasting the whole article from Guardian.co.uk.

I can't get over #5 still. I lost my mind!

You can find the article on guardians homepage, here.

"Even today, there are scientific phenomena that defy explanation. If history is anything to go by, resolving these anomalies could lead to a great leap forward, so what are the greatest mysteries, and what scientific revolutions might they bring?

1 The missing universe

Everything in the universe is either mass or energy, but there's not enough of either. Scientists think 96% of the cosmos is missing. They have come up with names for the missing stuff - "dark energy" and "dark matter" - but that doesn't really tell us anything about them. And it's not as if they're not important: dark energy is continually creating new swaths of space and time, while dark matter appears to be holding all the galaxies together. No wonder cosmologists are searching for clues to their whereabouts.

2 Life

I know you think you're more than a sack of molecules, but why? Next time you see a tree, ask yourself why that is alive when your wooden dining table is not. The phenomenon we call life is something that biologists have almost given up trying to define - instead they're investigating ways to make different combinations of molecules come alive. Bizarrely, the best hope is similar in chemical terms to laundry detergent.

3 Death

Here's the flip side: in biology, things eventually die, but there's no good explanation for it. There are hints that switching genes on and off controls ageing, but if our theory is right, those switches shouldn't have survived natural selection. Then there's the argument that an accumulation of faults does us in. However, there are plenty of whales and turtles who seem to age ridiculously slowly - if at all. Of course, if we can work out why, that could be great news for future humans (if not for the planet).

4 Sex

Charles Darwin might have fathered 10 children, but he couldn't understand why almost everything in biology uses sexual reproduction rather than asexual cloning - sex is a highly inefficient way to reproduce. We still don't know the answer. The suggestion that sex's gene shuffling makes us more able to deal with changing environments seems plausible, but the evidence is scarce. At the moment, sex only seems to exist to give males some role in life.

5 Free will

If you want to keep your sanity, look away now. Neuroscientists are almost convinced that free will is an illusion. Their experiments show that our brains allow us to think we are controlling our bodies, but our movements begin before we make a conscious decision to move. Some researchers have already been approached to testify in court that the defendant is not to blame for anything they did. A scary legal future awaits."

This is what keeps me up to 2am at nights.

Bro(insert)

I came across one more of MTV's amazingly ridiculous shows, where total random people wants to become famous basically. I've never understood why idiots wants to become famous. And I don't even mean they want to do acting, singing or something such were fame is a side effect from the job (in some cases). No, these idiots just want to become FAMOUS, they don't care about the middle man. Forget about it, I just want to become famous, like Paris Hilton. Brilliant.

One of these shows are called "Bromance", the show aside (as shitty as any of the other "MAKE ME FAMOUS, I HAVE NO TALENT" shows), I learned some amazing new and funny terms, such as Bromance, Bromosexual or even Bromo + Broham.

I want to go deeper into the term Bromosexual, because it's just too good to pass up, read and learn students.

*ehm* Urban dictionary says;

"Bromosexual

A guy who is bromosexual is totally straight. In fact he will punch you in the face if you say that he's gay. He's so totally straight that he has sex with tons of chicks... sure his bro might be in the room with him, maybe videotaping it (with lots of close-ups of the penis)... or doing the same girl at the same time... with their penises touching...

So what if he's always slapping his broham's ass... and always hangs out in the showers at the gym... and yeah, maybe he was in a few circle jerks in middle school... and sure he puts his penis and/or testicles on his friends' faces every chance he gets when they're passed out drunk... and sure that frat initiation thing was a bit weird, but...

HE IS TOTALLY 100% NOT GAY.

Dude: You're so gay.
Bromosexual: Shut up! I will FUCK YOU IN THE ASS if you say I'm gay!!!
Other dude: Heh. Wait... what?"

And also "brost", which is a toast for your bro's.

I love you internet.
I love you world.

They say
"It's better to have loved and lost
then to never have loved at all"

I'm not sure if that's true.
Wish I'd never met that person.

Poem, I have a rendezvous with death.

One more poem, it's pretty sweet. The man who wrote it, Alan Seeger, did it while on WWI duty. Let me give you the poem. *ehm*

I have a rendezvous with Death

At some disputed barricade,

When spring comes back with rustling shade

And apple-blossoms fill the air

I have a rendezvous with Death

When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand

And lead me into his dark land

And close my eyes and quench my breath

It may be I shall pass him still.

I have a rendezvous with Death

On some scarred slope on battered hill,

When Spring comes round again this year

And the first meadow-flowers appear.

God knows 'twere better to be deep

Pillowed in silk and scented down,

Where Love throbs out in blissful sleep,

Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,

Where hushed awakenings are dear...

But I've a rendezvous with Death

At midnight in some flaming town,

When spring trips north again this year,

And I to my pledged word am true,

I shall not fail that rendezvous.

Beautiful isn't it. He actually died before his poems became famous. As is the case for some great people.

The user PoetryAnimations in YouTube has some great animated poems (as the name suggests). Here is the animation for Alan's Poem.

Bla Bla Bla!

I always have long conversations with my own brain. Doesn't matter if I am sitting on a buss, having a shower, eating or walking. I am always talking to myself in my own head, having arguments left and right about shit as if someone else was there to talk to, often times I just crack jokes though, as if I was at a talk show or something with people watching me, or having coffe with bunch of new people. I had this complete random convo in my head as I was having a shower. It went something like this...

- We are really lucky to even have arms and legs man, there are people who don't even have limbs. So in a sense, whatever we are up to, even if we don't work we are doing pritty fucking good compared to others.

- Yea you're right, but you don't really have to limit yourself like that. Just because you are better off then most people in the world doesn't mean you don't need to get better, and get an even better life! If you are born in Sweden, live in a big nice house and don't have any major worries you are good off but it's not wrong with getting more houses, more cars and more cash if you can! And if you can YOU FUCKING SHOULD.

  It's like saying "Aww some people don't even have dicks so you should't masturbate" FUCK THAT. Count your blessings AND have a wank, perfect :)

And then I got a little scenario in my head. It was like I was on a talk show, like Conan O'Brian and we were having a chatt.

Conan: Haha ok, but why did you pick THAT as an example? :)

Me: Well you are like your friends are [That was actually a swedish saying "Man blir som man umgås" and that was a rough translation]... *looks at camera* YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, GUSTAVO SOTO, ROMAN HASSAS, AHMED BARZANGI, KALIM KHAN!

*crowd laughs*

And that is like some of the talks in my heads, HIHIHI BYE.

  

Words of wisdom for creativity

 

-_- zzZzzZ

builders in the fucking house again. they started drilling THROUGH my wall, what a way to wake up huh. Fuck me. don't think i have slept well for 23 years now. and they are so fucking chitt chatty too. fuck my life. i love how my dad takes them in and gives them this grand tour as well. and why the hell is the whole fucking house shaking when they drill. EVERY TIME builders come here and start drilling i ALWAYS hear em go "...hmm concrete" after 10mins of drilling and i can feel the whole house shaking and my bed is jumping and moving left 1mm at a time. FUCK ME. which  means they have to drill 30 more minutes. 

Oh it was my 23rd Bday on January the 19th did I tell ya? More about it soon! stay tuned

A song for the oldies

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
probably one of the best songs ever in my opinion, it's ageless, enjoy.

Dreams

Dreams are weird and wonderful aren't they? Don't they say that you dream about what is to come in the future or what you think about? Anyway... I had a dream once, not too long ago, where I was in a film, and we were filming. I'm not going to go into details about what happened because since it was a dream it didn't make any fucking sense at all. But I loved that dream and the "scenes" I was in and what had happened, with the music in the background and all so as soon as I woke up I immediately wrote it all down and I keep it in my little "idea book" =o)) I got a few ideas there now of thing's I'd like to do.

Anyway, my point is what my favorite type of dream is. My favorite type of dream is where I try to escape from danger where I can die! The dream (the small bit's I can remember of course) started of with a few girls giving my huge complement on a book that I had written, a book called The Heart of Dark or Darkness or something. I Wiki'd that and found this and that means that I have to read that polish guys novellas now Since you often don't realize you are actually dreaming I was thinking "huh??" Thought they had mistaken me for someone else but then I realized "damn, wish I really had written a book, how fucking cool..."

Anywho, back to escaping death. I was in this high rise building maybe 20 stories high. And I saw a plum of rubble and smoke coming out of a house like 300 yards away like a rocket had hit it or something and all of a sudden the building I was in was shaking violently, they were trying to tear it down and of course I had to escape that, then escape some builder guy who wanted to kill me etc. The point is, I love dreams where you have to escape death, it's like a video game really :)

What's your favorite dream? Think about it.
