Things around the Internet

“A century ago, in order to situate his discovery of the unconscious in the history of modern Europe, Freud developed the idea of three successive humiliations of man, the three “narcissistic illnesses,” as he called them. First, Copernicus demonstrated that Earth turns around the Sun and thus deprived us, humans, of the central place in the universe. Then, Darwin demonstrated our origin from blind evolution, thereby depriving us of the privileged place among living beings. Finally, when Freud himself rendered visible the predominant role of the unconscious in psychic processes, it became clear that our ego is not even a master in his own house. Today, a hundred years later, a more extreme picture is emerging: the latest scientific breakthroughs seem to add a whole series of further humiliations to the narcissistic image of man: our mind itself is merely a computing machine for data-processing, our sense of freedom and autonomy is merely the user’s illusion of this machine.” Zizek

Flaming Lips – One More Robot

Hi, I know I haven’t really been writing anything lately but I’ve been a little busy. Just a few more weeks of school left. Really wasn’t that great of a semester but hopefully this summer will make up for it. We’ll see. I just wanted to post a song. I’ve fallen in love with Netflix on Xbox 360. I’ve really been being disturbed by what’s going on around us. Literally just with the situation we are in so much has been itching on my brain parts all the time I don’t know what to do about it. I feel like I need to tell everyone about it, and to notice it, and what’s real and what’s not but how do you do that without ending up on a street corner talking to yourself saying the same thing over and over again? Pressure is experienced in my head when these thoughts are formed. Is that called passive voice?

Trying to listen to slower music lately. Have grabbed the guitar again and have been fingerpicking. It’s nice to control each sound with my fingertip from my command center. Those moments. Plus I think I need to gather my energy and unclutter my eardrums for Coachella. I just wanted to post a song. There is too much on my mind. Too much that I won’t write here. I don’t know why there is even is so much. I just need to break it into parts and take it one at a time. It’s hard because school needs to be my priority and I need to just wait until school is over but they are always right up there, background noise, disturbing priority signal intelligibility.

I learned a lot of new things today. Not general things. Specific academia related things. I used to get much more satisfaction on a day where a lot of new information existed in my head. Maybe it was just information that wasn’t very satisfying to my brain connections.

When will we be able to exist as part of the universe instead of being taught to separate ourselves from it? This is completely regardless.

chemtrails

Jake — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:03:09 +0000

It’s been relatively clear the past week or so as far as chemtrails are concerned but today I noticed some heavy spraying again and it’s really changed the weather. From bright blue skies (even just 2 hours ago) to a white-washed blanket of ihavenoidea. As the usual cycle goes, they will continue spraying the rest of the day and through the night and tomorrow it’s probably going to be overcast grey.

I’ll probably post some chemtrail updates every once in a while because it’s a topic that’s always on my mind. Call me crazy but once you start noticing, you’ll feel crazy for disregarding it before!

Updates on Goings-On

Jake — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 00:41:34 +0000

I’ve been working on mgpxl.com and mgpxl.info and last.fm http://www.last.fm/music/mgpxl

I am in the process of finding more completed pieces of music for the mgpxl last.fm and they are downloadable and stream-able. If you want to listen to them, it would be great if you streamed them because it gets me more plays on the site and hopefully starts throwing me into the radio mix with some similar music. I don’t know how long or how many plays it would take to get to that point but it’s a big deal.

Still working on the design of the site, but I really like wordpress because the plugins, widgets, theme manipulation is very helpful and opens up a lot of possibilities. Maybe I will find a theme that I can manipulate just a little bit here and there to fit my needs. Also, I don’t know why the comment link is hidden underneath another link to “Read more” so I’m trying to get rid of that. But if you click on “read more” you can then post a comment.

I also don’t know how to embed tumblr music posts into other blog posts. You know what I mean? So I can just place that little applet right into my post here so you can click play. I’ll find it soon enough.

See you soon,

Jake
