The sweet smell of dung...an Irish jig

Well here we are...yet again...
I'm in a real lovely mood...!!!
Shall I continue...????
I thought you'd never ask...
Well I'm sure you've heard about the recent court decision involving Viacom and google/you tube and the handing over the personal viewing habits of it's entire database.
In other words, they want to know who we are and what were watching....every last one of us.

Now we're already well aware of these insidious little tracking cookies...there like those "will nots" when you have to wipe...they just cling on to you until you have to delete them manually....
Actually I now clean my cookies every time I surf u2b or myspace...
But it doesn't really matter man...cause there always watching. They always have been. Court order or not.
I mean....I use gmail...I like gmail....google has lots of cool stuff. So yeah I still use it. But, like I was saying. Whenever I read one of my emails on google I can't help but notice that the 'google advertising' column on the right side of the webpage is always advertising products based on the key words that are being mentioned within my personal email message....
If I get a message from one of my conspiracy friends...well then on the sidebar there will be 'google advertising' about anything of/or pertaining to...'conspiracy'.
Or if I mention anything spiritual....the advertising reflects it...if I mention that I'm horny....well then google advertising will be doing it's very best to make sure that I get some....
So yeah man....there always watching.
It's just good to always assume that you're being watched. Because U are.

.....anyways...Recently, Youtube and one of it's shareholders "fox" has let me know that they've found my video Ease to be in copyright violation. So....without so much has a rebuttal from me. They've removed it.
Now...that's cool. Cause I will do another video.
My songs are my songs. Regardless of the images in the videos.
But...the bigger picture is...Things are changing.
YouTube isn't 'all that' anymore. It's like 'coffee espresso' in Seattle...there used to be good coffee everywhere...that is until Starbucks came along....(Corporatism...that's America baby)
For being the 'grand daddy' of video social websites...they have the absolute worst sound quality...hands down.
"live video"..."myspace video"..."daily motion" "bliptv" just to name a few have really good stereo sound.
Not so u2b...
I really think that things are beginning to change around the internet. For the worse. I can feel it and I can sense it. The bigger corporations within the internet will merge sooner or later so they can monopolize.
I really hope not. There will always be a way to get information out to the people. But at what cost...?
I can foresee a time when we will be forced to circulate our movies/music...DVD's or CD;s on the street again.
Word of mouth.
And it will seem like we have gone backwards into a time machine....back to the last century.
Now of course this won't pertain to anyone who likes to stay within the confines of the 'status quo'...
But if you're somebody that is willing to stand up...alone if need be...4 what you believe, and for your rights. To stand up against an unjust war & the senseless murder of millions.
To stand up for freedom & equality...Then you do what you have to do....
And oh by the way.... I am so not alone....

"The sweet smell of dung"...an Irish Jig...
Well I don't care what u say...I really like this song. I think it was inspired, however indirectly...by my grandmother Mary McMorrow...!!! (god bless 'er soul...she was a devoted catholic)
If you were to hear the song when it 1st came about...you'd be amazed that it made the journey to what it is now...!!!
U see I was cleaning "jazzmin's" droppings out of her box when out of nowhere this Irish kind of melody started taking shape....I then started to improvise lyrics about the necessity of bodily functions...full of wondrous adjectives about malodorous scents and other such all pervasive perfumes....well then the jig started to take a noticeable conkling turn and then well...here we are...

Oh blimey...enjoy it...or don't.
