so what in the hell is this internet thing anyhow!?...i looked it up and came across this information "How big is the internet in 2025-Data, websites and users explained" (5 min) Nextzen Tech...and it says 5.4 billion users daily or 67% of the global population...1.3 billion websites...but only 200-250 million of these are maintained...google does 100,000 searches per second or 8.6 billion per day...of course all of these numbers must be taken as possibly inaccurate, some wildly inaccurate...i was recently told that everything i have ever written on these blogs could be erased with a single key stroke...maybe...maybe not...i have probably pissed someone off somewhere...one thing for sure is that humans on planet earth are using the internet very enthusiastically!...i would like to be able to download into my hard drive some of the youtube presentations that i find inspiring...i did just this a few years back but now it seems to be harder...one of the things that i have noticed is that more and more of the presentations are bogus information...should some oversight group edit this crap off the internet?...well, maybe a personal "bullshit meter" needs to be used..."The most mysterious language on earth isn't even human"...(18 min)...this is about bio-semioics which concerns how biological stuff communicates and how "...survival patterns become meaning systems"...mind stretching stuff here..."meaning is never fixed, it lives in context..."meaning may be more fundamental than matter..."wow! this are heavy concepts...chew on this for a while...and now some music i have listened to and enjoyed....mr micah nelson has a very good presentation with "Particle Kid" (this name according to mr nelson derives from his father once refering to him as "prodigal son"... "Golden Hair/ When you dance" these songs seem to be almost incantations and micah presents as a full blown Druid...great guitar work and vocals...more of this!...listened to a lot of older joan armadtading...what a songwriter!...there is a 24 minute interview with ms. armatrading from paul cashmere (Noise11) from australia...and "weakness in me" Radio 2 piano room (3:20)..listen to the words!....show some emotion!..."cotton pickin kids" have a great presentation with "I'll fly away"...excellent harmony!...also i listen to Juice Newtons (official video) of "Angel of the morning"...brings back memories of long ago...i listened to the great radio show "American Routes" last week with nick spitzer from new orleans and heard some roots music from "The Charioteers" a gospel tune called "All Gods Chillun Got Shoes"....this song is actually about the extreme deprivation suffered by american negros to the extent that they could not afford proper footwear....and now some of them obtain very expensive shoes...(i heard that some "restitution" proponents are saying that according to their calculations great britain owes about 130 TRILLION! dollars to the offspring of former enslaved people...thats a lot! )....you might like a single short lived musical group called "The Dirty Mac" with a video called "Yer Blues" with 4 experienced musicians...namely john lennon, eric clapton, keith richards (on bass!) and mitch mitchell on drums...good stuff...whatever happened to those guys? ...i just heard that "Guns and Roses" will go on a big tour next year...same hair, same hat...same ol same ol same ol...i heard where a musical group called "Deer Hoof" got tired of the big business of music and decided to release their latest offering on "craigslist" ...whatever it takes...i think with current political climate in the USA we should be on the alert for the creeping "GLEICHSCALTUNG"...it might happen here! got to go as the sun is shining bright and "miles to go before i sleep..."
"...who have not one virtue to rub against another in the field of active life, and yet perhaps, in the life of contemplation, sit with the saints." robert louis stevenson from "The lantern Bearers" (1888) here he describes some of the people in his community who seem simple but have rich inner lives.
