For more info on using laptops wisely click http://ergo.human.cornell.edu/culaptoptips.html

Personally though,I never want to have to use these health compromising ,inferior performance machines again,consider how sore my back/neck still is at times even after a few days of not using one.
Also I was thinking how the laptop is the ultimate symbol of the recent attacks in India lately. The suspected reason they occured is because the fundamentalist groups are trying to scare away foreign investors ,especially the multinational corporations who are always trying to get into any country they can make money in. Most would agree that Indias biggest growing industry is IT and this has brought alot of interest from other industries as well,since they can see that India is a huge market ,hence huge profits to be made. Since laptops are a big part of the IT world ,India has and still does play a big part in their production. Considering what I have explained about how laptops encourage poor posture,it is very ironic that a country which has an ancient tradition of yoga and meditation,would be involved in promoting them. Proper posture ,balance ,and the connection of mind to body are keys to practising proper yoga techniques. Also true yogis say that yoga is a way of life ,and its principles should be used wherever and whenever possible.It is not simply an exercise which finishes as soon as the posture is mastered.Therefore it seems as though many people in India are rejecting what they have been taught for thousands of years ,whether they are aware of it or not.No doubt this is another thing that is also pissing off the religious fundamentalists which of course include terrorists. Also the fact that the internet in itself is another way that big business penetrates societies is something they must be aware of. The IT/laptop business is only one of many in India,but it is likely the one which spawned many others ,and so now it should be seen as the one that brought the modern world ,and big business to India, for better or for worse.

well this is the last tune Im posting tonight and I really have to cut back on this since Im spending way too much money on these internet cafes . Id rather save my money for weed or food or something. I should also be in bed right now resting my sore fucking back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwIGZLjugKA ...good night and I hope I didnt piss off too many people today with some of my comments about laptops or whatever I just have to speak my mind when I think Ive learned something which could save others a pain in the neck so to speak. This was my second laptop by the way,my first was a mac,and I had very similar problems with that not too long ago.What a friggin waste of time and money both times,since there was much more to the story I could have included dealing with add ons I bought that didnt work,or I lost ,and so on.

I can hardly believe Im not hungover on another Sunday morning ,and feelin damn good about it,but of course the bud helps !I was smoking the one on my card in my avatar,got it from my new Rastafarian connection,and its about as good as it gets . I didnt put a lot of thought into that picture by the way it just kind of happened since I had the card sitting on the table with my bud beside it ,so I just thought I would put the bud on the card,and realized that was a pretty cool pic. Another odd coincidence yesterday was when I was talking about yoga in one of my posts ,and then I decided to post Sabbath War Pigs. As soon as I pasted the link into the message ,I looked at the url and saw it ended with OGGR n yOGA . yet another strange coincidence happened as I was lying in bed and thinking about how much organized religion has F'd up this world.The last thing i want to do is enter into a lengthy discussion about religion or spirituality for that matter,because I like to keep my faith very simple and personal .I would rather just go see Bill Mahers newest movie and have a good laugh. I still consider myself a spiritual person though,and so as I was falling asleep I said in my head "Im just a spiritual motherfucker" and at that very moment the room lit up from my cellphone which was sitting on my table face up and stayed lit for about 5 seconds. Nobody was calling me at the time,so I dont know why it happened,probably it had finished charging ,but Ive never noticed that before ,so it was a bit strange for sure since I didnt know where the light came from when it happened .

If you ever see this lp on original Columbia label its worth about $200 ,I had a copy about 8 years ago,and sold it on ebay

From his only solo album, "Oar"
----
Wikipedia:
Alexander Lee "Skip" Spence (April 18, 1946 -- April 16, 1999) was a musician and singer-songwriter. He was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
Spence was a guitarist in an early line-up of Quicksilver Messenger Service before Marty Balin recruited him to be the drummer for Jefferson Airplane. After one album with Jefferson Airplane, their debut Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, he left to co-found Moby Grape, once again as a guitarist.

During the recording session of the group's second album, Wow in 1968, Spence allegedly attempted to break down a bandmate's hotel room door with a fire axe while under the influence of LSD. Spence was committed for six months to New York City's Bellevue Hospital, where he was subsequently diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Upon his release, he recorded his only solo album, the now-classic psychedelic/folk album Oar (1969, Columbia Records). However, mental illness and alcoholism prevented him from sustaining a career in the music industry, and he spent most of his later life homeless in and around San Jose and Santa Cruz, California. He died in 1999, from lung cancer. He was 52.

I just wanted to add to my response when someone asked me about why I dont become a dj/vj. Most stations are formatted and only play one or two kinds of music,or music which were only hits .The same thing can be said about djs who play in clubs for the most part. I like to play all kinds of music as you can tell if you watch some of my vids,and a large part of them are obscure artists from the past,or maybe artists who are somewhat famous here in Canada or some othe country,but not very well known to the rest of the world. Not only that but the filed is very competitive and I would not even know how to go about looking for a job even if I thought I had a chance or the time to do so.
At least here I can play/share what I want, when I want , and get to express myself and how I am feeling at the time . Perhaps in my mind I am also partly rebeling against the radio stations here which ,while they play some great classic tunes,and occasionaly some decent new ones,for the most part I get very sick of the repetition factor. Some of the songs that get played over and over arent even close to be the best tunes from the genre whatever that may be. There is a Canadian content rule here so they keep playing the very same songs day after day. I know I could have no problem finding way more interesting Canadian bands/tunes then they do,which is especially shameful considering the huge mmusic libraries they must have. These ones arent Canadian but Im adding them anyhow because they are uplifting kind of songs.Hope everyone is having a great day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3C7DECI0jU

Im feelin kind of f'd up today becaue I just spent my last $10 on a dime of weed. I even had to go to the bank and stand in line to get it because the machine only gives 20s . This is the first time I think I have stood in line at a bank in months so Im not too happy about the reason I had to do it. It seemed automatic though ,like I couldnt really not go by it without getting the $10 . Anyhow I will have a bit more money soon to eat tonight and internet cafe money,but Im really feeling like Im getting behind the eight ball,so I want to quit for a while just to save some cash. I should be able to do it if I can give up drinking,I just have to really want it. I also think I ruined my camera since it was raining a bit and I lt it get a bit wet. Life is a bitch sometimes.

heres a cool video shot on yonge street at night,be sure to check out the very end when the show the skyline with the CN tower and its trippy lights. They have several differnt ways they light it up,this is just one of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fsw4xE_X8Y&feature=related also near the end you will see when the street gets really lit up,which is Dundas square,and its too bad the camera couldnt do a 360 since its starting to look a lot like Times square on that corner now
