Every Women
Nov 7, 2009
“A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own even if she never wants
to or needs to…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her
dreams wants to see her in an hour…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …
a youth she’s content to leave behind….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
a past juicy enough that she’s looking forward to
retelling it in her old age….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …..
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black
lace bra…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
one friend who always makes her laugh… and one who
lets her cry…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone
else in her family…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a
recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
a feeling of control over her destiny…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
how to fall in love without losing herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
HOW TO QUIT A JOB,
BREAK UP WITH A LOVER,
AND CONFRONT A FRIEND WITHOUT RUINING THE FRIENDSHIP…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
when to try harder… and WHEN TO WALK AWAY…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
that she can’t change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
that her childhood may not have been perfect…but it’s over…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
what she would and wouldn’t do for love or more…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
how to live alone… even if she doesn’t like it…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
whom she can trust,
whom she can’t,
and why she shouldn’t
take it personally…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
where to go…
be it to her best friend’s kitchen table…
or a charming inn in the woods…
when her soul needs soothing…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
what she can and can’t accomplish in a day…
a month…and a year…”

return of the mummy
This is me last night, sorry about the bad quality. I was dragged to new york by my mom which was worth more then I thought it would be. I was running some errands for her and was able to catch up with some very important people in my life.

The Dirty Dozen
12 Things Which Kill Creativity
(via) http://www.freelanceshack.com

1. Mouthful
Ever heard the expression “Bitten off more than he can chew”? When a person has too many things on their plate, they can become burdensome and cause one to become extremely stressed. Having to deal with too much work all at the same time will cause the quality of the work to decrease.
A freelance web designer, for example, will design better when he has more time to conjure up his skills and apply them as opposed to hurrying just to meet a deadline. A simple solution to this is better organisation and mature estimates of deadlines.

2. Fear
Fear can be of many things. Some people fear spiders, while others fear heights. I fear waking up one day and finding Madonna in bed next to me…yuck…that ugly old grandma! I was however, speaking of fear of failure.
So many freelancers are too scared to explore beyond their usual routine or to even practice what they have learnt to its full breadth. One of the many adverse effects which fear of failure has on a person is that they will become so scared of their work being rejected that they will spend too much time worrying about avoiding failure as opposed to worrying about how to grow in their field of expertise.

3. Money
The recession has had many effects on us, it even claimed the life of Michael Jackson (a joke, for all you serious people out there), however the biggest effect of the recession is debt. Mounting debt and late bills with court orders and bullying bailiffs will hardly help keep your creative mind intact. This causes a person to work harder but at the cost of the quality of service they provide.
Yes, work harder if you have the stress of debt and financial insecurity. Remember that the only way in which the plan of working hard can ever be successful is by keeping the super computer between your ears totally inspired.

4. Distractions
When you work, you should work! If you are working and are the kind of weirdo who wants to updates their Facebook status at the end of every fart then you really need a parent control on your computer! Tweeting and updating your Facebook status will get you nothing apart from a few girls realising how sad you really are!
Take regular breaks and attend to Facebook or play Gears of War in your break, not during work!

5. Family and Friends
Human beings are such that when something depresses our loved ones, it affects us. This can be with serious issues but also with trivial small things. For example if your partner has had a bad day and wishes to exert their frustration, you should learn to become more listening instead of shouting back and causing a massive argument. This will help you reduce your levels of stress, and therefore you’re less likely to procrastinate as such.
Some problems are minor and can be resolved through talking and taking active steps to better a relationship, however other serious problems may require counseling or something similar. Remember, a happy surrounding will make you happy and more efficient with work.

6. Your Health
Health does not always mean ‘mental health’. In fact I mean the vast spectrum of things which will have ill effects on your body causing you to have limited concentration and reduce your productivity.
Stress and depression are perhaps the main things in the 21st century causing us to fall behind. However, there are other things relating to health which can cause problems. In my opinion obesity and malnutrition of vital vitamins is perhaps the main cause of a ‘zombified’ freelancer.
I would recommend a daily jog. Psychiatrists recommend this for reducing stress levels and depression as it can release serotonin, a hormone which in turn will cause you to feel happier. Running can also reduce excess fat and also help you get out of general laziness. It also provides you with the ever important fresh air which every freelancer can never get enough of in front of their monitor!
A healthy diet can also help. Apart from teaching me new ways of insulting people, Gordon Ramsay also taught me that cooking healthy, edible food need not be such a chore and hard. Just Google some healthy recipes and I guarantee you will enjoy cooking and eating your food!

7. Insomnia
I had a friend who suffered for years with insomnia. It not only caused him to fall behind at university but also had detrimental effects on his social life. After years of suffering at the hand of such a treatable problem, he visited his doctor and got some medication.
Personally, I would use medication as a last resort. If you find yourself tossing and turning in bed trying to get to sleep, I would recommend getting up from bed. Your bed should be for sleep and not for simple relaxing. Carry on doing whatever you are until you feel sleepy and then go to bed. This way your bed is associated with sleep only as opposed to lying there waiting for sleep.
Try waking up earlier and packing your day full of productive tasks, you will end up being exhausted and as soon as sleep begins to overtake, tuck yourself in and don’t let the bed bugs bite!

8. Lacking direction in life
Many freelancers will feel the lack of motivation due to not knowing what they wish to achieve in life. I feel that this is a personal decision and nobody can tell you where you should be in ten years time.
I would recommend getting a blank piece of paper and writing down all the things which motivate you. Make a list of your dreams and the things you want to achieve by the end of your life. Knowing these things better will help organise your mind better so that you can aim toward something in life.
If it is a specific car or a massive house which motivates you and you feel that it is what you wish to achieve, then print off a picture of your dream home along with your dream car. Stick it up at your workspace so you can see it and remember your aim.

9. Deadlines
If I was to ask the people reading this article “What kills creativity?” I am sure 9/10 of you would reply ‘Deadlines’”. An irritable client who will repeatedly ask for updates on their work several times a day or cause you grief over a deadline will cause you to lose creativity and lack inspiration. For God’s sake, deadline even has the word ‘dead’ in it!
Your reputation is on the line if you are late, so I would warn you from falling into the trap of trying to impress a client by giving them ambitious deadlines. In fact, I would recommend that you overestimate how long a project will take so as to not offend the client for being late.

10. Block
You can call it writer’s block, or designer’s block. In reality we do pass through a phase every now and again where we don’t feel as creative as before.
I would recommend taking a walk through a pleasant park, going mountain/hill walking or simply looking to art. A holiday to an inspirational country such as Egypt, Dubai or Japan may lift the block and get you inspired again!

11. Competition
Watching a freelancer friend overtake you in the field and reach new heights can cause one’s spirits to become dampened. “Why is he so successful?” and negative questions of this sort will creep up and cause your attitude to become negative. This will cause unwanted reactions on your creativity.
If I was to ask you to draw a picture on a day at random when you felt excited and happy, you may draw a picture of beautiful scenery or a portrait of the ones who you love. Comparatively if you drew a picture on a day when you felt down, depressed, exhausted or frustrated you may draw a picture of a dull, dark setting.
Don’t let your competition get you down, in fact mould your unhappiness into motivation. Be happy for your friend and know that success is not far away for you as well. If they got there earlier, it hardly means anything, you will be at that level of success very soon if you keep at it.

12. Belief
I feel that this is the core point of creativity. If you believe that you are a good designer, you will design well. Similarly if you believe you are a good writer then you will write well.
There is a “Law of Attraction” and it’s a load of utter bollocks because it claims that you and I are “gods”. The theory however raises some good points such as saying that if you believe that you will get something you will get it. The ‘theory’ of attraction claims that this is due to the universe answering the manifestation of your thoughts. The truth is that if you believe in yourself then your actions and behaviour will change such that you will start to see routes towards achieving your goals.
Remember that you are special and unique in your own amazingway. I know a freelancer who is a designer and had been designing for years and has amazing capability and talent. One day he decided that he may not have what it takes any more and began falling down a oily slope until he realised that he was designing to same level as before. The problem was he was near the bottom of the slope and had lost business because of this. The moral of the story being that if you are good at what you do, doubting that will cause you to lose valuable clients.

Conclusion
Whatever it is which starts killing your creativity, do away with it – fast! Talk to friends, family, professionals and do not feel shy about talking to them. They will offer advice and help you through any problems.
Finally ask yourself “Is there anything in my life killing my creativity?”. If there is then please share it with us below so everyone can benefit from your experiences.
Agree or disagree? Express yourself below.

Body Painting Art by Craig Tracy
(via) http://freshpics.blogspot.com/

American artist Craig Tracy from New Orleans has created a collection that could be regarded as some of the best body painting in the world. Some of his paintings use only human volunteers while on others he merges them with backdrops to give the display depth. Some of his creations are so complex it’s difficult to work out where the bodies start and the background begins like the below “leopard” one.

The 30 most satisfying simple pleasures
Oct 26, 2009
...life has to offer
(I didnt write these but they are great and fun)

1. Sleeping In on a Rainy Day – As the rain beats lightly against the window, you nestle your head deeper into your pillow. The sound is soothing and your bed feels like a sanctuary. There is no place you would rather be.

2. Finding Money You Didn’t Know You Had – You reach into your pocket and find a $20 bill from the last time you wore these jeans. You aren’t rich, but you are richer than you were a second earlier.

3. Making Brief Eye Contact with Someone of the Opposite Sex – You pass him/her on the street or in the subway. He/she glances up at you momentarily, making direct eye contact in a way that seems to communicate a subtle curiosity. For a split second it makes you think… and then it’s gone.

4. Skinny Dipping – There is something mysteriously liberating about being naked in a body of water. You are naked, but it feels natural, a sense of unrefined freedom.

5. Receiving a Real Letter or Package via Snail Mail – E-mail has become the primary source of written communication. Most snail mail these days is junk mail. When you check the mail and find a real letter or package from someone you know, excitement overtakes you as you tear into this rare gift.

6. Making the Yellow Light - It’s one of the most common simple pleasures, the act of beating the pack. As you blaze through the yellow light you glance in your rearview to see all the cars behind you stopping at the red light. Yes! You made it!

7. Telling a Funny or Interesting, True Story - One of the most enticing roles you lead in life is that of the storyteller. You love to share stories, especially those that will captivate your audience with deep curiosity and humor. There are few things more satisfying than telling a true story that others enjoy listening to.

8. Seeing a Friend Stumble Over Himself – As you walk across the street with your friend, he fails to accurately address the curb on the other side. He trips and stumbles around momentarily before regaining his footing, then swiftly attempts to play it off like nothing happened. This can be a hilarious sight if the moment is right.

9. Hearing the Right Song at the Right Moment - It doesn’t matter what the setting is, hearing the right song for that moment is one of those simple pleasures in life that instantly lifts your spirits. You could be driving home from work, hanging out at a bar with friends, or jogging. When the right song rattles your ear drums the entire meaning of life seems crystal clear.

10. The First Sip of a Beverage When You’re Thirsty – You just finished mowing the lawn or taking a long jog. The only thing on your mind is an ice-cold glass of water. When you are really, really thirsty, that first sip of any liquid beverage is sheer bliss.

11. Catching a Glimpse of Bare Skin on the Opposite Sex – For guys, it’s when the waitress bends over a little too far. For girls it’s seeing that buff guy in a Speedo. Either way, when you see a bit more skin than you were expecting on the opposite sex, you can’t help but to smirk on the inside.

12. Saying the Same Thing Simultaneously – There is a moment of silence. Then all of the sudden you and your friend blurt out the same exact set of words simultaneously. This rare occurrence is something to smile about.

13. The Pull-Through Parking Spot – You pull into a parking spot and are delighted to see the availability of the parking spot immediately in front of you. You pull through to the spot in front so that when you return to the car you can drive forward out of the parking spot. Why? Because driving backwards is a pain in the butt.

14. Realizing You Have More Time to Sleep – Something abruptly awakens you and you think it’s time to get up. Then you squint over at your alarm clock and realize you still have 2 more hours to sleep. A warm euphoric feeling shoots though your body as you glide gracefully back to your dreams.

15. People Watching – Sitting there on your bench you can see people in every direction. Tall people, small people, thin and plump. Blond, brunette, and redhead alike. Each of them has a different stride and a unique expression. As you drift from body to body you are mesmerized by what you see.

16. Putting On Clothes Straight from the Dryer – As soon as the dryer buzzes, you pull out your clothes and put them on. They feel soothingly warm on your skin and emit a fresh-scented aroma into the air. A sentiment of ease comes over you as you head out to conquer the day.

17. A Familiar Smell – You just pulled into your parent’s driveway and opened the car door. You haven’t been home in a long while. You smell familiarity in the air, the scent of a large pine tree in the neighbor’s yard. As you head through the front door, more familiar smells consume your senses. Gosh, it feels good to be home…

18.The Feeling You Get When Your Idea Works – You have been struggling to resolve a complex problem all day and you just can’t seem to get it right. Filled with frustration, you decide to exercise one last idea before calling it a night. You’ve had many ideas before that failed miserably… but this time it works.

19. Fresh, Clean Bed Sheets – You yank at the corner of the bedspread to create just enough space to slide your body under the freshly cleaned sheets. The sheets feel cool to the touch. Everything seems so clean, like nobody has ever slept in this bed before.

20. A Beautiful View – As the car veers around the side of the mountain you gaze out the passenger window. It’s a clear, sunny day and you can see the entire valley below filled with wild flowers and bright green vegetation. The scenery reminds you of something you once saw in National Geographic. But here it is live, right before your eyes.

21. Reminiscing About Old Times with Your Closest Friends – Pink Floyd once said “the memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime”. There is no simple pleasure more satisfying than recounting the greatest moments of your life with your closest friends who lived these moments alongside you.

22. Receiving an Unexpected Compliment – It’s been an average day. Nothing really great has happened, but nothing terrible occurred either. This monotonous day has put you in a dreary mood. Unexpectedly, an older, attractive lady taps you on the shoulder, calls you “handsome” and says she loves your shirt. The day just got a whole lot better.

23. Having a Good Laugh – Laughter is the greatest cure of all. Life is extraordinary in the moments when you are laughing so hard you can barely breathe. These moments of deep laughter are divine in the sense that they cleanse your mood and set your mind on a positive track.

24. The Feeling After a Healthy Workout - It’s a giddy feeling of self accomplishment; the one true activity that actually makes you feel better and look better simultaneously. When you walk out the front door of the gym you are on top of the world.

25. The Celebration in the Instant Something Makes Sense – Even now that it has explained to you for the third time, you just don’t understand how it works. Everyone else seems to understand but you. Then out of the blue the dots connect in your mind. You finally get it, and it feels great!

26. Relaxing Outdoors on a Sunny Day – As you relax sprawled out in a lawn chair, the sun warms your skin and a light breeze keeps the temperature comfortable. Birds are chirping merrily in the trees behind you. You are at complete peace with the environment.

27. Holding Hands with Someone You Love – Every time she grabs your hand you are overcome with an awareness of how much she means to you. Holding hands is sensual and physically intimate, yet subtle. There are few people you allow to hold your hand, so when it happens you can be sure that the moment is special.

28. Playing in the Water – Water marvels people of all ages. From jumping in puddles as a child, to doing cannon balls in the pool as an adolescent, to enjoying a cocktail in the Jacuzzi as an adult… water is enjoyable.

29. Making Someone Smile – You notice that your colleague has been under a great deal of stress with meeting a deadline, so you take it upon yourself to complete one of her indirect responsibilities for her. As soon as she realizes what you did, she comes into your office with a big smile on her face. “Thank you”, she says. You just hit two birds with one stone, because making her smile just made your day.

30. Finishing What You Started – You just finished up a big project you’ve been working on for the last few months, or maybe you just finished your first marathon… Either way, you finalized what you set out to accomplish. The feeling of self accomplishment you get when you finish what you started is by far one of the most rewarding simple pleasures life has to offer.

I really thought Kanye West was going somewhere with his life when he first came out
I was never a die hard fan but I was on the side lines privately rooting for his success

henny caught hold of his fingers and his hands caught hold of ambers ass

a diary post: R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Oct 17, 2009

Ive never done this before and never cared to get this personal but this is strait from my diary (copied)
lol I know who still keeps them but I'm a writer so it seems automatic to have one. So bare with me on this post it can be choppy, and it might not make sense because these are my raws thoughts so enjoy I guess...
Ive been missing and thinking about an old friend... a lot. I automatically follow up with her life and officially feel like a stalker. This is a post strait from my diary a bit tweaked but still real and genuine.
Anything I ever said to her went right out the window for some odd reason she thinks I want her to be like me. From the couple of years we have been friends I cant believe thats the end result of my voice. From me stroking her ego and trying to let her know how great she is I cant believe she thinks that. All I ever wanted to do was lift her spirits, one because she needs it and two because I was her friend and I wanted to.
So telling her about herself was to enlighten and better her life, her, her self-esteem, and her situation. It was never to harm. I don't know what she got from it but she definitely took it the way I was afraid of (being so mad at me that she stop caring). It just really felt like she lost respect for me and it was pretty obvious to me. So my way of trying to better, move forward, and improve our relationship I laid some things down that I felt was holding us from growing (some of those were my issues with her and telling her about herself). I always held from telling her certain things for many reasons (one of those reasons being her response). She's a gemini , so am I which makes me very familiar with some of her character traits because I hold a lot of them. On top of being sensitive to what people say about me being that I feel so strongly about who I am,what I do, what I say, and how I live. I CANT care what people think about me I'm almost unable to. So even if I do care some what no matter how much I care their thoughts and feelings will never change who I am, bottom line. So why start to care how anyone feels.
When I say anyone I mean strangers, negative forces, haters, bad people, mean role models, people who want to take me down and anyone meaning anyone who is not on my side. With certain people in your life some care about helping you and some dont know how.
What I learned is its very important to be able to decipher when a friend tries to help you and foe tries to help you. I guess sometimes the more difficult task is differentiating friends and foes.
Now if your my real friend and pro rebekah I just might consider what you say, feel, or think because most likely that person respects me and if you respect me I'm all ears about whatever you feel about me. I will be willing to sit through agonizing conversations about my flaws and all. I may bitch, moan, and all the above.
In my lifetime those foes who played as my friends were pro Rebekah but had no respect for me so our relationship crumbled though the years.
But when you respect someone their opinions come from a different source and it isn't fueled by just anything.Their word as a much stronger purpose then just anyone.
So to back up my original intro I love you!
Ive been trying to say the same thing to in so many different ways and your ass never gets it. You always seem to run with a message I never knew was present.
When some things aren't clear other things fallout of place. If someone has a certain amount of respect for mean and is willing to point out my mistakes, and the broccoli in my teeth. Its different,respect should demolish my defense, my attitude, and my buts about what their saying. Their only coming from a place of acknowledgement not negativity. Their not tryna play me!
For example my father, he constantly tells me I cant dress, a day doesnt go by without him saying it (if your an dedicated reader of my blog you know I talk about my dad and our relationship all the time and if you met him even better ). Now if some chick tells me I cant dress with no reasoning and no kind of history in my life in cases like that shes most likely confused (tapping into my sarcasm dont mind me)
So back to my dad (who is the most uplifting person by the way) on calling me out, hes really telling me to keep it clean. Those raggedy dresses in the summer and roll out of bed outfits are not cool.
"I know you can dress hunny but whats with the shoes".
It took me years really get him and not get my panties in a bunch but I really appreciate his criticism no matter how it comes out because sometimes it sounds like hes saying nothing. Sometimes I feel he just likes to hear himself talk (which is true anyway) but looking back on all the compliments he fished out on my worst days forces me to believe hes only for good. Besides being my father he has built some sort of a respect ground my father really respects me, he respects all his daughters he just makes it his business to come at me sometimes its like "alright hop-off" (LOL) but in actuality he only wants to see a better us because there is always room for improvement.
ESPECIALLY parents they strive for improvement in their children like "no ma theres nothing higher then an A plus"
Whoever is willing to help me get to the top gets ALL my respect and praise without respect all else will fail; in relationship you'll get cheated/beat on in friendship you'll get walked over and taken advantage of in work nothing will ever be done without conflict. The lost of respect will have you crumbling to your knees.
With people I hold dear I shamelessly let it be known to them and to anyone who knows me.
If you know me you'll know who I love.

I really wanted to get that out my system its been killing me but thanks for listening...reading.

1,000 awesome things
Oct 16, 2009

#910 When you arrive at your destination just as a great song ends on the radio

There’s really nothing like pulling up in the driveway and shutting off the engine just as that final cymbal crashes or that wailing guitar solo slowly fades into perfect silence. If you time it just right, you’ll miss the start of the commercials, and you’ll be dutifully rewarded with the song replaying itself in your head all day.

AWESOME!


#762 The moment at a restaurant after you see your food coming from the kitchen and before it lands on your table

here it comesSomebody shushes,conversation hushes, and all eyes flicker with delight as you watch your sizzling, glistening meals cruise out of the kitchen and slowly descend in front of you.

AWESOME!


#894 When the only other person going up in the elevator is going to the same floor as you

lets-all-go-to-tenYou know how it is: you walk into the elevator, you press your button, and just as the door is about to fully close, a hand appears out of nowhere and pulls it back open. Then a stranger walks in and pressesthe same button you already pressed, going to the same floor you were already going. Now that’s luck, because after that brief ‘Are they following me?’ vibe passes, you get tozoom up the shaft at breakneck speed on a no-nonsense express ride to the top.

AWESOME!


#662 Fixing your wedgie when no one’s looking

wedgieSneak behind the bookcase, take a smoke break in the alley, grab the back row at the theater, or go freshen up before dinner.

Look left, look right, and yank.

AWESOME!







#671 Reuniting a sock from the Sock Orphanage Drawer with its freshly washed, once lost brother or sister

missing socks are reunited
We don’t know where you’ve been. We don’t know how you
got home. But come here and give us a hug, old friend.We thought we lost you.

AWESOME!


#675 Wordless apologies

we all make mistakesTension fills the room and black cloudslinger by the ceiling fan. Dinner was late, bills piled up, nobody called home.

Now you’re steaming in front of the TV while they’re crying softly in the bedroom upstairs. The stalemate burns quietly until they come down, enter the room slowly, grab your shirt sleeves and look right at you with a pair of warm, moist eyes while starting to give you a soft, smiling apology.

But you see them coming and your stomach churns with a wave of regret so before they even get it out, you interrupt with a head shake and a hug.

AWESOME!

I wasn't a big tv person when I lived in new york but now that I moved to Philly and there was no more time warner (boo hoo) no NY1 (help me) and I had to say hello to combat...comcast. I had to learn new channels, which didn't turn out well. What I do memorize and will never forget is channel 65, at 11'o clock on the dot I'm on the couch if I up. She has that dry sense of humor and sarcasm that I tend to use on strangers.
Her interviews are hilarious and the panel is always the best.
She will forever be in my heart and her episodes will always be saved on my DVR.

in control
“Good relationships balance over time. This means that at any particular point in time, the relationship may appear quite unbalanced: One partner may be more nurturing; one may be more needy; one may be providing all the financial support, etc. But if both partners are loving, understanding, giving, dedicated and flexible, then the relationship can handle all kinds of ups and downs, and still be strong, exciting and, yes, romantic. The best relationships are well balanced. Not a delicate balance; not a static balance- but a dynamic ever-changing balance.”
—Gregory Godek

the distracted america
I seen Distract 9 this weekend and it was very interesting
I'm not sure how I feel about it
but it reminds me of a movie called Zeitgeist
My brother hip me to it about a week ago and its something
It came out in 2007 so I'm a bit late

(Zeit means "time," and Geist roughly translates to "spirit")
referring to "the spirit of the times" and/or "the spirit of the age." The word Zeitgeist is used to describe the general cultural, intellectual,ethical, spiritual, and/or political climate within a nation or even specific groups, along with the general ambience, morals, and sociocultural direction or mood of an era (similar to the English word mainstream or trend). In German, the word has more layers of meaning than the Englishloanword; included in common understanding of the term is the allegation that Zeitgeist may only be observed for past events.

neither Zeitgeist or D-9 are for everyone,
those that are ignorant to racism and the media will be lost.
In the beginning it is very simple to follow (D-9), it was easy to grasp
the concept of the movie immediately. The discrimination against foreigners
and people of the lower class. But as it got deeper and deeper
and we were getting close to the end it was becoming more difficult to grasp
some of the messages. There are PLENTY of them in this movie some
I probably don't know about. But as for the movie itself despite the informative
information and the nice put "eye opener" it wasn't very entertaining.
Just to put it all there I hated it, i think it was way too deep and went a bit off topic.
But that's for sharing and opinions

- South Africa has become a haven for refugees--from outer space.
-Technically brilliant and emotionally wrenching, District 9 has action, imagination, and all the elements of a thoroughly entertaining science-fiction classic.
(via) rotten tomatoes

Another movie that takes the cake for putting America in its place has to be Bowling for Columbine
one of MY personal favorite movies
Not only is this movie hilarious, its entertaining, raw, and very revealing. This movie is so special because it gets so personal Michael Moore; the director puts his career on the line and places himself in the movie showing his very point of view. He has no problem being bashed with criticism so this was a perfect subject topic for him to explore and express his full opinion. (I love him btw)
The movies base topic was Americas problem with violence and how "the man" uses fear to control everyone.
Like in Zeitgeist the two movies body slams America for all its got and brings shadowy topics to light
Michael Moore shows a "if your not laughing your crying" type genre with this documentary
but unlike him, in Zeitgeist theres no punch lines or laugh out loud moments just scary ass awareness to some things. Where Michael made his 2hours more bearable Zeitgeist goes deep into history and way back into time to imply actual facts instead of opinion as to why this is that and that is this.

I would check out all 3 movies
Zeitgeist can be googled
District 9 is in theaters

Jesse Beamesderfer


Jesse Beamesderfer’s heart and soul lies somewhere on the outskirts

of this reality and a few inches a plane away. It is from that space

that he can observe reality and safely make art without leaving a

footprint capable of interrupting the flow of natural existence. His

art, in return, reflects a reality that is usually only glimpsed for a

few seconds, made true in that moment, and then turned away from as

its original truth returns. Although reinventing work regularly, his

recent series depicts pieces of The Fashion Industry, a culture

Beamesderfer truly lives outside of, with a narrow but true sense of

its reality.
