I have been suffering some severe writer's block on coming up with some lyrics for my projects...
After i took a shower a few hours ago, and ready to give up the day for an extended 13 hr sleep, i turned on my tv, and there it was...
such a beautiful sight...these vertical bars across the screen..of course i've seen them before, but this time was diffrent...they had a whole new meaning...i saw them as if they were the "anti-TV signal." As if a team of ppl put together these specific colors in this specific order to disconfort the watcher into viewing diffrent channels...but this "message" was in a pure and simplified state...the colors made such a basic pattern, and the mid pitched "eeeeeeeeeeeeee" was such a pure sound...un waivering, and un compromised. my mind wondered for explainations as to why these certian colors were used, and why they were placed in the specific order...
i then started to write dwn thoughts that i had...not really about what i was staring about...but what i had pent up inside of me as pertaining to these lyrics i was so desperatly searching for...
i didn't let myself be censored by "would this sell" or "would ppl get it" i just wrote, about my wickedest sexual fantasies (which all involve some sort of torture {deep dwn i'm a BDSM nymph}), diffrent ways on how i wanted to die, diffrent reason on why i dont' want to go to heaven, or this "futuristic artificial internet utopia heaven" i keep dreaming about, about being commited...on, and on...for like 2 hrs...
i feel that this was one of my closest encounters with god that doesn't involve drugs, which i never really felt anything godlike from besides a godlike ego when i'm on mdma.
well, i'm off to reasearch the net as to what the hell i have been staring at for the past two hrs, and hope you all find something inspiring about this post, and find it a refreshing change of pase to the rest of the topics...

I am gross and perverted I'm obsessed 'n deranged I have existed for years But very little has changed I'm the tool of the Government And industry too For I am destined to rule And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious But you can't look away I make you think I'm delicious With the stuff that I say I'm the best you can get Have you guessed me yet? I'm the slime oozin' out From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you And eat the garbage that I feed you Until the day that we don't need you Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks . . . Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
I am the slime from your video Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

you might wanna try staring at static...
(heh that's an old project name! w/ one of my old friends)
it's pretty uplifting too...so random...pure Chaos Theory right there on the TV...also if you treat it as if you're looking at those 3D hidden images puzzles you can find out a lot about ur self by discovering shapes/images in the chaos..just like the ink blot tests...
yeah...god is in there all right...

Well, he actually ran for president or senator or something... I've heard that he was better known in the States as a politician than a musician... His music is awesome, you should definitely hear some of his stuff! Sadly he died a few years back.... He was a genius!

When I die, I want to go to Internet!
Can you believe that we are only experiencing this world of the net at this stage?
Think about it.

yeah, i constantly fantasie of diffrent ways to interface with the net...like dling various impulses directly to the synapses...or ways to de-reprogram the ways the pulses in the mind are cunducted...or ways to kill urself via the net...i was actually contemplating if this will be all that's it cracked up to be...
at the current rate the net isn't under a totalitarian control...but i fell that it will be in about 20 yrs...

btw, i think this is what it's called...
Color bar signal is a test signal which can be displayed as vertical bars of different colors on a color video monitor. It is used to check chrominance functions of color television and camera's.
Chrominance. The color portion of the television signal.
now off to find out why these certian colors...and what's up with the pitch...prolly all just test signals...but there has to be more to it...
