I stopped by blog.pl to read Wszyscy Tacy Sami.. I browsed newest additions to other totally random blogs. And you know what.. it reminds me of Group Hug.. A bunch of whining people [hey, like me! :D] writing stuff that usually noone reads. Intelectual pornography. Some people sharing their life and feeling in an erzatz of a diary for other people who gain their pleasure from peeping into other people lifes. I know why I don't read other people diaries - none of my friends run a diary. And I don't care about people I don't know. I only follow blogs that feature comic strips, novels or short stories. And why do I keep running blog? It's a form of a therapy, slash bit of megalomania... ;D
Anyway.. I have to find aunt's phone number and call her up... and I have to plan my vacation.. uh.. and work.. yeah :D
So. As I was saying I played around with VJ stuff. Effect: I have small amateur studio at home :D It occupies my hellishly small desk. I have Videonics MX-1 mixer, preview on small 14 inch tv, output on the 21 inch tv above my head [not seen in the picture], vcr, generic colour pattern and computer as sources.. Not much but it's still something to play with. All those transitions, wipes, zooms, p-i-p's, and so on are very much fun. I feel like a kid. Wheee. Now I have to find GPI cable to connect video mixer to the pc to add titles without titler or sumperimposing it in other way. I wish I had my old mac. I've read that it has GPI port and it could easily 'talk' to it plus I'd have additional source.. Oh well. Best thing about this mixer is that output from the computer is stable. No shaking, no interlace, no nothing. Purrrrfect :D
One of the greatest economists of our times, Dr Francis Fukuyama, author of The End of History and The Last Man said in recent interview that Bush administration reminds him of Lenin. But what does that mean for us? Does it mean that next will be new Stalin? Some call Bush Stalin, Hitler already, but I think there's a difference between devouted Christian, who in name of God launches crusade against followers of other religion.. and Hitler.. :> Nah, I'm just kidding. Bush is not after genocide of arabic nations. It's all about Benjamins. He doesn't want to have 'lebensraum' in 'Sauditenland'. And I sometimes that sometimes he really do believe that what he does is right and justified.
But Bush policy raised a lot of questions, not only after infamous 9/11 but from the start. I'm watching closely what's going on in USA. Me as well as number of fellow Europeans. We watch.. in shock and awe.. We are afraid of new Lenin. We are afraid of imposing democracy and bringing it on tanks. We don't like when someone openly supports one regime and overthrows the other. We are not stupid, and maybe it's a hipocrisy... maybe we do have too many skeletons in our closets to judge others.. But I think we have learned that playing God is just not right. And I think in present times world gaining pace require fast learners.
Few things that I keep playing.. in random.. dunno why :)
