poate vad eu altfel...

... dar ma stric de ras! La sala la care merg, sunt 4 treadmill-uri si uneori cred ca poti sa scrii o carte de psihologie uitandu-te la ce, cine si cum le foloseste. Astazi a fost prima data cand au functionat toate si pe deasupra erau si ocupate. Pe prima era un tip pe la 40-45 de ani care, cred ca-l paste o artrita, eu pe a doua, pe a treia un tigan mic, indesat si paros care alerga cu pasii mici.. dar rapizi iar pe a 4-a era atletul... ala care ne facea pe toti sa ne simtim prost. iar la mp3 player-ul meu se auzea...



... cum dreaq poti sa alergi fara sa razi?!.. a fost greu.. dar la refren nu am mai putut decat sa izbucnes in ras

ma gandeam...

... ce mult imi place INXS. Pe bune!!!Iar 'Elegantly Wasted' este in alltime top 10-ul meu. Acum vreo 2 zile am dat de videoclipul de mai jos si trebuie sa recunosc inca din inceput, ca J.D. Fortune, solistul din acest videoclip nu se compara nici macar cu umbra lui Michale Hutchence dar per total se incadreaza bine in formatie.



Problema mea este alta. JD Fortune a fost data afara din formatie anul trecut, dupa o colaborare de cativa ani (3-4) din motivul ca are o problema (destul de serioasa) cu drogurile. Ceea ce mi se pare ok?!.. cred?!?!.. ai putea sa ma intrebi de ce am scris "cred?!?!"..?!.. ei bine Michael Hutchence a murit din supradoza,deci, putem sa zicem ca exista un pattern :)), dar argumentul cel mai bun si de nestavilit (tare cuvant) este ca formatia se numeste INXS...adica trebuie sa se intample ceva ... in exces... si intr-o formatie rock, ce dreaq ar putea sa fie in exces?!?! cofeina!?, guma de mestecat, shaorme?!..impozite?!?

1....am inceput sa citesc prin unele reviste si ziare, articole care contin fraze care incep cu: "Tipilor..." sau "tipule..."... asta vrea sa fie raspunsul la .."Dude!!!"

It's cute.. but it's wrong

2.Si ca sa nu mai zic de faza cu 'Epic'... am auzit destule persoane care o zic p'asta... in loc de 'misto'/'tare'/'foarte tare'/'super'.... Jeremy Clarkson se caca pe el de ras... hai sa fim seriosi, ca el este singurul care-l vezi la TV... 'Let me tell you!!! It's epic!!!'

3. As vrea si eu sa fiu ubercool.. adica vad pozele unora de pe facebook si ma gandesc sca trece viata pe langa mine... dar in acelasi timp ma gandesc ca cine are timp sa stea atata pe facebook nu prea e... cool.

melodia zilei... hai sa te pun pe ganduri



songfacts.com:

This song is about realizing consequence and regret. It sends a powerful message that we should all proceed through life wisely, because there is nothing worse than being stuck with a label, a pain, a sickness, or a death, that we know beforehand will leave us only wishing things had been different and that we could change the choices we made. (thanks, Wes - Florence, AL)

This song is reportedly Trent Reznor's favorite and is always the final song played at Nine Inch Nails concerts. He considers it the most personal song he has ever written. (thanks, Konrad - Wellington, New Zealand)

Reznor bought the home of actress Sharon Tate, who was one of the victims in the Manson family murders (Reznor didn't know she used to live there when he rented it). This song, along with most of the Closer album was done in the mansion. The front door of the house had the word "Pig" written on it by the murderers. Reportedly this was painted over numerous times, but you could faintly see the outline of the word on the wall. Trent apparently never noticed the word until after he was told whose mansion it was. After The Downward Spiral was completed, Trent had the mansion demolished, but kept the front door handle "to remind him of what happened and the events that took place inside." (information compiled from the Nine Inch Nails CD biography book)

On his 2002 album American IV, The Man Comes Around, Johnny Cash did a stark cover of this with a striking video. In the video, the 71-year old Cash appears very fragile as he sings this from his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Cash wore no makeup, and there was no attempt to make him look younger or more vibrant through lighting or other effects. This was interspersed with footage of Cash in his younger days. The video appeared to be Cash's obituary, as he was in failing health after a life filled with drug-abuse. The video was very emotional and drew a lot of media attention, including a story on CNN. Trent Reznor was very impressed by Cash's take on his song and quite moved by the video.

Cash's video was directed by Mark Romanek, who previously directed videos by U2, Michael Jackson and Madonna. He also directed the 2002 Robin Williams movie One Hour Photo. He shot some of the video at the House Of Cash Museum, which contained a lot of Cash's memorabilia but had been closed for years and was damaged in a flood. Romanek felt the museum was an honest and powerful reflection of Cash's life. He said of Johnny Cash's video in The Guardian September 24, 2005: "Johnny's producer, Rick Rubin, played me this track long before its release and I was so struck by it I said, 'We have to film something to go with this.' I'm a massive Johnny Cash fan and had been lined up to shoot a video for him a few years before which Anton Corbijn ended up doing instead. So this time I made Rick promise me I could make it. He called me on a Tuesday and said, 'Johnny's going on holiday to his ranch in Jamaica on Saturday so if you want to make this you better make it quick.'
I'm someone who usually takes a minimum of two weeks to prep a video but this was Johnny Cash. So I jumped on a redeye to Nashville with my producer and a cameraman and arrived on Friday with no idea of what I was going to make. I looked around the house and made a few suggestions of where we might film Johnny performing. I was making it up off the top of my head. Then I went to the House of Cash Museum and found it in total disrepair.
There was no time to clean it up so I decided that I'd just film it, and Johnny, exactly as they were. He was no longer in his prime - he was fading and that was what I wanted to show. While I was filming the opening segment of Johnny playing guitar in his living room, his wife, June, came down the stairs and watched. The look on her face was so complex: full of love and pride and concern for her husband. So I asked her if I could film her too and she agreed. But the most important element was when we discovered a film archive in the museum. When we looked back at the rushes we'd filmed at the house we thought they were good but not great. But once we dropped in the archive footage of Johnny we realized that was the soul of the video. The whole thing was so spontaneous. It's made me realize that sometimes you can be too prepared and that there's some value to urgency."
Cash's wife, June Carter Cash, died later that year.

Rick Rubin, who produced Johnny Cash's cover, says of this song in the October 2004 edition of Vanity Fair: "It's a strange song. I mean, the opening line is, 'I hurt myself today...' And then the next line is, 'To see if I still feel.' So it's self-inflicted. It's such a strange thought to open a song with." (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)

Cash played this over 100 times before he recorded it. He called it "The best anti-drug song I ever heard."

Cash's video was nominated for 7 MTV Video Music Awards, including Video Of The Year. The only award it won was for Best Cinematography, but Justin Timberlake said some nice things about Cash when he accepted Best Male Video for "Cry Me A River." Cash wasn't able to attend because of a stomach ailment. He died about 2 weeks later of complications from diabetes.

The Cash video won a Grammy for Best Short Form Video. June Carter Cash, who died 4 months before the awards, also won for Best Traditional Folk Album and Best Female Country Vocal.

The Johnny Cash cover was used by World Wrestling Entertainment for a video tribute to the late Eddie Guerrero. The video tribute was broadcast on the November 14, 2005 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw a day after Guerrero passed away. (thanks, Chris - Andover, MN)

When Johnny Cash covered this, he changed the line "I wear this crown of s--t" to "I wear this crown of thorns." This made the song more Biblical. (thanks, Chris - Bradenton, FL)

Trent Reznor has confessed that originally he was angry that Johnny Cash had covered this, as it was such a personal song to him. However, once he heard Cash's heart-wrenching version and saw the poignant video, he changed his tune.
Reznor recalled to The Sun Newspaper August 1st 2008: "The Cash thing was a couple of years into being clean I was very unsure of myself. Did I have anything to say? Could I still write music? Did anyone still care? I'd been out of the limelight for a while. I'd put the brakes on everything to try to get my life in order, to try to get healthy and stay alive. I'd been friends with Rick Rubin for several years. He called me to ask how I'd feel if Johnny Cash covered Hurt. I said I'd be very flattered but was given no indication it would actually be recorded. Two weeks went by. Then I got a CD in the post. I listened to it and it was very strange. It was this other person inhabiting my most personal song. I'd known where I was when I wrote it. I know what I was thinking about. I know how I felt. Hearing it was like someone kissing your girlfriend. It felt invasive."
It was when Reznor finally saw the video that his attitude changed. He continued: "It really, really made sense and I thought what a powerful piece of art. I never got to meet Johnny but I'm happy I contributed the way I did. It felt like a warm hug. For anyone who hasn't seen it, I highly recommend checking it out. I have goose bumps right now thinking about it."

On January 29, 2007 Johnny Cash's rendition of this song was voted the best ever cover version in a poll by BBC 6 Music. It got twice as many votes as other famous covers such as Jimi Hendrix' "All Along The Watchtower" and Joe Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends." (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2)

e de forma... se transforma sau cum viata mea placuta se duce in p#$ă

... in ultimul timp ma ocup cu diete...
... viata mea era asa.... dimineata gogosi cu capuccino, la pranz un gratar (frigarui cu cartofi sau piure), ceaiul de la ora 5 venea cu un drum la McD sau Pizza Hut... seara mai gustam ceva iar noaptea, daca era de invatat mai mergeau niste sandwich-uri cu 'jdemii de chestii, eclere sau biscuiti cu crema.... si asa am ajuns la o greutate impresionanta.

... acum viata mea (superba) este cam asa.. dimineata cereale cu lapte/iaurt, la ora 10 gustarica - un mar (de kkt) la pranz pui/peste la ora 5 ceai si o gustarica - alt mar mama lui de mar, seara pana in 8 iau cina peste/pui... . orice masa are legume.. iar cartoful se pare ca nu e acea leguma.

... si la final.. singura chestie care-mi place din toata chestia asta este marul.?!..

Cat despre Vama ..?!.. ?!..numa' de bine.

melodia zilei... cand haiducii au umplut strazile

... mi-a placut... foarte original... sau mai degraba - original de autohton.



Nu stiu cine sunt, cu ce se ocupa dar o sa ma interesez.
