http://www.ralphbuckley.com TO HEAR IN STEREO (click below) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GihnSg... 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...
Life is a juggling act...It really is a juggling act........If one loses ones balance, well then, it would seem logical that one would probably have a nasty fall!!! Wouldn't it??? Have I already lost your attention...well if your attention span is anything like that of my own...well let's just hope that it isn't! Now the balance of life....everything in moderation...love anything too much, or care for anything to little...well now, this upsets the delicate balance of life that most of us seem to juggle well enough, at least well enough for us to maintain some sort of stability, in a rather unstable universe! "Keeps a roof over my head, and food on da table" said Mr Jones. But there are some of us who upset this delicate balance so much, and in such a way, that the ability to maintain becomes such a matter of difficulty, that the effect of this illusion, of having his or her 'shit together' becomes a real bitch to pull off! Can u dig what I'm saying? "Man, you know that dude 'conkling'...he freakin' lost his balance and fell off the wagon!!!" And you know what happens to those who lose there balance? Well they have to rehabilitate themselves of course!!! REHAB!!!...u can ask Lindsey Lohan about that...Fucking Balance..."you've really overturned the scales this time"...Why is he going on and on about balance? you're asking yourself about now??? ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ____________________________
Because the delicate balance of life itself, is at stake!!! I'm spouting off about a world gone mad...MAD!!! If you think that I'm being a bit of a 'drama queen' or 'just full of shit' or a "melodramatic imbecile"...it's a matter of opinion man! The pendulum just fuckin broke!!! The scales of balance don't work no more...We're sucking on the "tit" of Greed, Power and Oil!!! It is sustaining war and killing the environment, and last but not least...It is killing us!...It will kill us! "god's tears are everywhere"!!! Why are men, women and children dying from starvation everyday when there is more then enough food to feed everyone? Why must we insist on using oil and fossil fuels as if it's the only possible source of energy? Why are we fighting a war against terrorism on the other side of the world, when our borders are wide open? Why are there 'poppy' fields in bloom and blossoming all over Afghanistan right under the US military's noses? Why did it take 5 days for the government to send aid to the victims of hurricane Katrina? Why are we paying an income tax? Why did AT&T censor Eddie Vedder's remarks about President Bush while broadcasting a live pearl jam concert? What really happened to Pat Tillman? Why won't the US government ever hold themselves accountable for anything? Putting conspiracy theories aside...in all honesty...what the hell is going on? It feels strange not being able to trust in something that you've always trusted in...doesn't it?
sick and tired... Got some stuff to cover this time around... 1st off...The response for the idea of putting together a "Toobstock West" or a festival of music, with the idea of raising awareness of Peace & Freedom... Well the response was so strong (still going actually), that I'm thinking that we can really make this happen. Don't U. Nothing will happen unless U believe it...U can see it...! well...I can see it. Has I stated previously...there are some U2bers here who are "wide awake"... I'm hopin' somebody out there will eventually come forward with a 'place' to do this, maybe a 'couple of acres' or 'piece of land'...Someplace where we can make this thing happen. Even if it comes down to renting an auditorium or building or a house..whatever....considering weather and time of year...it doesn't matter... It doesn't matter where it is...cause the "the spirit of Peace & Freedom will be there.
I wanna ask those of you who wanna 'keep the flame burning' on this to sign up on my '2012 Consciousness Awareness' mailing list...over at www.ralphbuckley.com.
I'm also gonna be starting up a 'forum' through my website & skype so that we can keep current on these & other ideas...so we can share ideas & info. To keep this thing alive...(thank u 2 pbeachmike for helping me) I know in my heart that this 'group consciousness' effort is also gonna come into play...in a BIG WAY... I can visualize a whole bunch of us coming together to enjoy good music and company....but also to bring a large group of people together to raise the level of consciousness...to shine our light as one...!!! To reflect a light so that all souls can see it...(or feel it)
I know that I'm taking a big step here...but I've been talking about this for months now....& time is passing us by.... That's why I need to speak out now... People the time is NOW.....We are made up of so much more then flesh...We are Spirit.....and we all know it!!!
We will let people know when the forum is up and running...though it should be up within a few days. Check in over at http://www.ralphbuckley.com or email me at ralphbuckley@ralphbuckley.com
