Don't Pale In Comparison to...

Every now and then, something sparks a thought in our heads that harkens the question; "What are we, and why are we here?"  I mean you would not be human if you didn't ask yourself this question here and there.  Front if you want.  Be as deep into your supposed faith as you THINK you are.  Thats fine.  But don't be upset with yourself if you find yourself asking that very question.  

I was driving a few days ago, and there was an unusually high number of fireflies out that night.  Then I got to thinking... 

What makes Fireflies turn on the little lights in their bellies?  When did the FIRST Firefly turn on its light?  Did it think to do it?  Is that even instinct?  Do thoughts lie within the instinctual realm?  Do Fireflies "think" with little tiny brains?  Did a higher power just make this happen, or was there an evolution involved? 

Pretty strange what an overabundance of fireflies can do to the mind on any given night.  These thoughts of course lead into something I watched a little earlier today called, The Pale Blue Dot.   Enjoy...

This week in music.....and thought...

music music music!! classics surround us, and we don't even seem to pay them any attention anymore.. I watched an old interview with Leaders of the New School, and listened as Charlie Brown, gave props and respect to those who came before them.  He didn't call them "old", or "out dated".  Listen to what he says when he talks about "what the old school is about".  

 Thats just how it was.  Everybody gave props to those who inspired their creativity.  I had an argument with someone a week or so back, and she told me she wasn't going to "hate" (hate blog coming soon), on the younger generation running hip hop now.  She of course didn't have a really GOOD reason for not hating but simply said, and I'm paraphrasing, that she didn't think telling them they're music is a dumbed down bootleg version of the original would do any good.  Oh on the contrary mo' frair!  Thats what Hip Hop was spawned from.  People are so afraid of telling people they suck nowadays.. The younger generation doesn't "know" and they really don't care.  Its unfortunate, because in the above interview, "they" (the corporates) would boycott selling OUR music.  They would put out "rap" versions of songs and NOT play them on the radio.  Now they run shit, and our youngins sweat the shit out of em'.  Its a shame.  But like i said, thats for the "hate" blog.  Enjoy some Dred Scott!
