Come Together...Right now....Over Me!
OK.
1) I go back to college for my senior year on September 2nd.
2) My band is now on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/mikesfdupjourney Please add me to your friends list if you're on the site.
3) I'm on Last FM (as a user). brickmanfalcon is my Last FM ID...easy to remember, right?
4) I find it weird that Last Fm listed Jimi Hendrix as being On Tour. He's been dead for almost 38 years. Let me guess, he's touring with Elvis.
5) Can i borrow 5 bucks? I'm good for it.
6) The meaning of life is 42. If Bruce Dickinson said it, it must be true.
7) "If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
My life is a progressive rock double LP.*fade out*

Lightening the mood.
I realize that my previous post may have been too heavy for an entertainment based site. But it was relevant to me...so i did post it. I just felt betrayed by American and European news outlets who are continuing in a tradition of ignorance and misinformation when it comes to their coverage of Russia. I got it out of my system, more or less, and would like to thank everyone for allowing me to do so.
i want to return back to normal now, business as usual.
I began to ponder "how do i cheer myself up?" I figured it out and i would like to share it with you now.
Please enjoy the video...it is relevant to what I've discussed and it also ROCKS!

A sad state of affairs...
In case you haven't heard, hundreds, if not thousands of innocent civilians (and United Nations appointed peace keepers) living in the Southern Ossetia region of Georgia were slaughtered in cold blood by Georgian military troops. The attacks coincided with the opening of the Olympic games in Beijing. Following the attacks, Russia sent in troops to stop the Georgians from completely wiping out the Ossetian population. Since then, Russia has come under criticism from the western press in a case which only demonstrates how extreme of a double standard exists in the press.
Southern Ossetia lies directly between the nation of Georgia and the Russian Federation. During the soviet era, the whole region of Ossetia, and its people was united and families lived freely within both the northern and southern regions of Ossetia. With the collapse of the soviet union, the region got divided. Northern Ossetia went to Russia and Southern Ossetia "belonged" to Georgia. If you can imagine, the Ossetian people did not like being divided. Many Southern Ossetians have obtained Russian citizenship and have maintained close ties with Russia.
The relations between Ossetia and Georgia have not been as good. This recent attack marks the third attempt by Georgia to get rid of the Ossetians in order to get the land away from them. Their previous attack in 1994 was the reason why UN peace keepers were stationed in the region in the first place. The use of aggressive, lethal force marred the opening of the Beijing Olympics.
But if you watch the news in the west, all you'll hear are the viewpoints of Georgians, who are seeking NATO membership. What this presents is a completely lopsided, inaccurate vilification of Russia by both the Georgian leadership and the western press. A brilliant plan by the way. Georgia goes into Ossetia, kills entire villages of their own people, provokes Russia to come to the defense of the Russian citizens living there out of moral concerns, and then Georgia spins the whole thing as Russia's fault. Brilliant, if genocide and media manipulation is your idea of brilliant.
Bravo Georgia! Thanks for playing into the artificially induced fear, hatred and distrust of Russia that western Europe developed and America perfected.
I'm sure now we'll see more Russian bad guys now in our movies (Red Dawn 2 anyone?), video-games (Freedom fighters 2) and other media. Thank you Georgia for stopping the healing process that followed the cold war and reopening the wounds that everyone who grew up during that time still have and dumping salt into them. Thank you for increasing the probability of having an aneurysm in people who love both America and Russia who now have to suffer from the complete misrepresentation of the events happening in Ossetia in the western media. Thanks for taking humanity in general two steps backwards.
In closing I would just like to say: All i wish is for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, and an end to the misrepresentation of Russia in the media (perhaps the latter request is too lofty, unfortunately). I have nothing against the Georgian people. Russians and Georgians are brothers. That will never change. It's unfortunate that certain Georgians choose to stab their brothers in the back. What I want is for humanity to move beyond choosing sides and begin to mend old wounds and secure a more prosperous future for everyone.

MFUJ Jam: Guitar Solo
Even the most devout fans of MFUJ haven't heard this yet. It's still got some glitches, but it was better than I expected.

Another tune. I like the beginning, but I totally flubbed the verse. Oh well. Enjoy.

MFUJ Jam: I Don't Wanna
The second song. The audio is a bit off...but it was a decent live rendition. The only problem is that the choruses and bridge were better on a guitar...but i used the bass for the video. enjoy
