Life and Death

And for some reason that topic and subject of that dark grim reaper death comes to mind on this day. And maybe it’s because I have learned that yet another person that I knew of has passed away and died. And I am afraid of death and have always been scared of death these days. And what is the purpose of life if one must die as if one has never existed or had never been born. And yet death is a part of life. And what does death look like besides those skeletons and grim reaper pictures that come to take you away when the time has come for your soul to leave planet earth or wherever it goes. And who knows what death looks like or what life looks like after death, as I have not ever talked to a person who has said he has came from the dead or has seen death. And I am not a fan of death, or of news of death, and it is always a drag to hear that someone has passed away. And there must be lots of sayings, philosophies, proverbs and phrases on the topic of death, and they are passing me now. And I came across this poem the other day that seems as if it could be about death. And I thought it interesting to repost:

I am no Queen
I sit a widow and shall see sorrow
I kannot walk any further
my journey may end here
there are no words to take away the pain
to replace a person who is gone
my eyes are dim and heavy with grief
I kannot close them
I do not wish to see the darkness they hold
this this which I have greatly feared
has come upon me with trembling
kausing all my bones to shake
I am scared with dreams and terrified
with visions of what will my funeral be like
when I die today at this very moment
will there be a funeral
who will come and who will pay
will they eulogize me and what will they say
leave me to sit and decay
make me your centerpiece in a chair dressed up dead
preserve me with spices, mummify me
let the birds of the air pluck me
the beast of the field tear me
till I be consumed by maggots and
dust and fly away when I die
there hath been no greater love than
that which hath been
it is the sound of Rachael mourning for
the children that never were
no one to comfort her
no where to wail lament save the ocean
why died the not from the womb
why died they not the breast prevent them from suck
why died they not the knees prevent them
why died they not give up the ghost that
no light shine upon this day
cursed be the man that saith the child is born this day
it is the wake of a funeral procession about to begin
it was a sunny day that day across the street from the graveyard
and we all laid down in our coffins to die

Have a great life, death and poetry day.

My Vacuum

5238dd240x180public
Hey Bloggers, and this post happens to be about cleaning and the Dirt Devil AccuCharge vacuum cleaner that is the first ever cordless cleaning technology, high efficiency, battery charging vacuum cleaner to earn Energy Star approval for its using up to 70% percent less energy and helping to save planet mother earth with less energy consumption. And I am seemingly forever finding myself trying to figure out ways to clean my home, house, apartment, abode, tent or other type of dwelling that I usually reside in. And the thought of cleaning and sweeping rugs and carpets with brooms sometimes give me thought of putting off cleaning altogether and let the dust and dirt pile up forevermore, for one can sweep seemingly forever and still not really remove all of the dirt and dust from ones rugs and carpet, and sometimes sweeping can be more work that cleaning itself. And with those cool looking Dirt Devil hand held mini vacuum cleaners that I see in stores everywhere seemingly since the beginning of time, or at least for a very long time, what better way to clean with less effort, wattage and waste, while saving energy at the same time. And that photo above of the Dirt Devil hand held and stick vacuum cleaner looks really interesting. And with the new Dirt Devil AccuCharge Vacuum, you can go green while you clean, it’s the newest thing.

Wilkommen To New York?

And I write to this blog as if it were a magic crystal ball that can answer all of my questions. And so after having exhausted all of the photos I could take as one of those travailing travelling tourists, and after travelling through what seems like one million Checkpoint Charlies and answering a zillion questions to go along with Check Point Charlie and his papers and forms, I have finally found myself in this City of New York again to which I am used to dwelling in, and going to that Make Music New York Festival that happened yesterday. And who is Checkpoint Charlie anyway, where does he come from and for what reason do I see him every so often, as that could be a whole another blog posting. And I have found myself with a bunch of those who are the terrorist airport horror stories to go along with Checkpoint Charlie and my travels through those airports which can seem like military camps sometimes. And there is the airport falle security story of “For what reason did that guy take my jar of jelly as if it could be an explosive liquid and throw it in the garbage can before I boarded that plane?”, and do all of those people who take travellers goods passing through checkpoint charlie make a party and celebration at the end of each day and consume those goods themselves? And then there is that other Checkpoint Charlie story of the you must fill out this form with seemingly another million questions if you want to enter the united states I-94 U.S. Customs and Border Protection Declaration for american citizens, green card holders, passport holders and visitors form, as it seems to be the United States Customs and their guns in hand coming and going who welcome you to the United States, as they seem to be responsible for protecting the U.S. against illegal importation of prohibited items. And do these prohibited items include all of the guns that are to be found in the United States already? And those Department of Homeland Security CPB immigration people seem to have the authority to question one and ask them their whole life story, simply for wanting to travel around planet mother earth. And what if one does not want to fill out that Customs form 4790? And people seem to be losing their civil liberties and rights at the speed of light in the name of that safety and security thing. And that Customs personal seems like modern day slavery to me where whole families are bought and sold, torn apart and separated in the quest for freedom of travel. And is this immigration video all about that passport and social security act being title number 666 with the upc barcode and the mark of the beast, save no man that he may buy or sell except that he have the mark of the beast thing. And guns are the worst invention of an industry ever. And there is a story today on CNN.com headline news that reads “Traveler refuses to show ID at airport”. Interesting. And how can a person go to sleep at night with a clear conscience knowing that one has done harm to another whether by pen or sword. And I take it back that Munichs subway system if free of polizei, as I have seen them on those trains with guns all the same. And guns are the worst invention of an industry ever. And so I have posted more photos of my time there in that City. And one of those photos above are at that jazz club the Unterfarht in Munich, Germany where that band Welf Dorr’s Funk Monk played. And Funk Monk in Germany was Christian Elsasser, Heiko Jung and Guido May. Their music rocked and that photo above seems to be in the dark. And then there is another photo of people celebrating the win of Turkey on is it Leopaldstrasse in Munich, as there is fussball fever there every day and everywhere at the moment. And that other photo is of one of those really big windmills found along the highways and country side roads everywhere, as they seem to generate power from wind I guess and appear to be super environmentally conscious for Europe. And those other photos are of an airplane. And I wanted to visit that Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Tour with its motto “Arbeit Macht Free, Work Makes Free” that has since been turned into a tourist attraction and museum memorial to the Holocaust survivors during Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler times. And I did not make it there. And for what reason does that word Auschwitz, the concentration camp, translate into identification i.d. card in English, or does it? Where is the world headed, is there hope for the world? And as a dweller in this City of New York, I no longer find myself attempting to communicate with other people as if I am playing a game of charades from not knowing the language. Have a great day. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State?

Their website rates different web host services so you do not have to and they also have CPanel Tutorials that offers information about web hosting specifications and tutorials. And the CPanel Tutorial is a web based program that web hosting servers can use to help administrate and manage their website.

And at the webhostingrating website, I can find information about most weverything that is all webhosting all the time. Their website also offers information about cheap web hosting, Linux Web Hosting, control panels, multiple domain hosting, Ecommerce and more.

Travelling Times

And so again, I take this blog post as a great excuse to post more photos of that travail travelling time that I have been taking photos of the past few days. And those travail travelling times are a great excuse for me to take the camera out of the closet, whose only purpose seems to collect dust these days. And even in the midst of daily attrocities that seem never ending in these days and times with Yahoo headlines that read “Car bomb kills more than 50 at Baghdad market”, and is that a holy war? and another Yahoo homepage headline news story that reads “Probe: Officials warned about harsh interrogation”, another seemingly never ending atrocity article that is something about prisoners and detainees that are being tortured with dogs and other torture techniques and devices by militant armies simply because they are held captive for some reason. And yet the news headlines say the floods are flooding, the earthquakes are here on earth, the price of a barrel of oil is going through the roof, the cost of food is increasing, the rice, wheat and now the corn are disappearing, the war is never ending, Antartica is disappearing, the national debt is going through the roof, the United States Dollar and Uncle Sam are going broke with the European union Euro and the earth is ever changing, and the only thing constant is change. And I wonder if the bees, bats, frogs and fish are still dying and disappearing, and if this is all the beginning of an ecosystem food chain collapse and the beginning of the end of planet mother earth or something else or not. And yet still I find myself blah blogging away for some reason. And those photos above are of more bicycles on the streets of Munich, as Munich is the most bike friendly city I have ever seen with it’s many bike paths and trails, a stark contrast to the mean streets of New York City that is not bike friendly at all and built only for cars and pedestrians and bicyclists in that town can become disposable road kill as drivers are not even penalized unless they happen to be drunk or intoxicated when there is a pedestrian or bicyclist death in that town. And what would that bicycle advocacy group Transportation Alternatives have to say about this. And that other photo above that I posted in this blog entry is of some giant recycling bins that are to be found on the streets of Munich, Germany. And where their recycled trash goes from there, I am not sure, but those big glass and paper recycling bins look sort of environmentally cool and interesting. And then there is that photo of a McDonalds with its big golden American and world wide fast food nation arches. And somehow it seems as if I could have travelled halfway around the world just to go to McDonalds in Germany for some reason I am not sure of. And there is that Kaufinger Strasse near that Marienplatz Glockenspiel Clock building with a pedestrian plaza that is all shopping all the time and seems to be a sensory overload with its shopping houses and stores that is sort of beyond Times Square 42nd street in New York City with its tourists. And there could be more photos that I would like to post of these travails and they are passing me now. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

This Domain Name

A domain name analysis, now that sounds interesting. And being that I could be one of those blogaholics who are seemingly forever searching for internet domain names out there in the internet bloggersphere, bloggersworld, bloggerland in my next attempt at starting one of those blogs and websites, I find something that sounds as if it could analyze that domain name that I have chosen, or maybe plan to chose interesting. And this concepts sounds so interesting to me that I would like to go and visit their website now as I blog this post away. And at the NetworkSolutions website, they have a Domain Name Scorecard where you can take a free quiz to find out how well your domain name is doing out there in internetland for business. And after answering three questions about your web domain name, you can receive your internet domain name scorecard that can analyze your domain name in key areas for domain name success. Now this sounds like it could be an astrological forecast fortune teller reading for that domain name indeed, as I am seemingly forever trying to figure out ways of how to optimize those websites and blog my way to internet riches and get rich internet quick, and finding that great Internet domain name could possibly help get me there to internetland domain name bliss. At NetworkSolutions, their website can help you find solutions for your internet network.

These Travails

And I am still finding myself blah blogging somehow in these travails of Germany. And it seems as if I do not blagh my usual news and social events of the commentary of the day as I usually do for some reason in my blogaholicness. And so there is more photos of my travails and travels throughout this town that I would like to post to whoever if anyone other than myself may be readng this blog. And those are a few photos above of that Chinese Beerhouse that is to be found in the English Garden of Munich, Germany and of the inside of Adolf Hitler’s office where the Nazi extermination all started, that is now turned into a music conservatory with no sign of Hitlers past and Germanys grim, dark history, and from the platfrom of that Felderhalle at Königsplatz or is it the Odeonsplatz again that has a putsch memorial to fallen putsch soldiers that people passing by were once required to give one of those Adolf Hitler gruß, Hitler greetings zeig heils to, and where Hitler’s mass rallies took place. And I would hope to post a photo of al the bicycles that are to be found here in Munich, as Munich is the most bike friendly place I have ever came across with its many bike trails, lanes and paths throughout this city. There are almost as more bikes on the streets as there are cars on the streets. There is even a bike symbol posted on the stop signs, a far contrast to the mean streets of New York City that is not bike friendly at all and that seems to be built for cars only where one risks their life to ride a bike down its streets where every street seems to be a highway with literally no bike paths to be found anywhere and where one can possibly become disposable road kill in one of the many pedestrian and bicyclists deaths that take place there each year, month and day, and where drivers are not even penalized or even given a traffic ticket. And what would that bicycle advocacy organization Transportation Alternatives have to say about this. And another one of those photos above with the red and white flags everywhere is of the Turkish Fußball, football soccer team celebrating their win against was it Austria?, in one of those Euro 2008 soccer games that seem to have taken over this City of Munich at the moment with Euro soccer fever. And daily and nightly there are soccer matches between European countries like Germany, Italy, Turkey, Spain, France, Croatia and other European countries I cannot think of at the moment. And everyone on the streets seem to disappear to the bars and home televisions during soccer game time like clockwork each day. And watching these games on television or bars each night seems like watching one big advertisement, as those blatent advertisements from advertisers like Nutella, McDonalds, JVC, Canon, Coca Cola, Castrol, Adidas, MasterCard, Carlberg and other advertisers that surround the soccer field are what catches my eye the most more than the soccer game itself. And this game of soccer seems to be a war and division of nationalities and nations against each other to me for some reason. And again, there are maybe more photos of this City of Munich that I would like to post and they could be passing me now. Have a great blogging day.

Die Freies Musikzentrum München Konzerte

Hey Bloggers, and somehow in the midst of world attrocities taking place daily with headlines that read “Süudafrika: Das Protokoll einer Menschenverbrennung, Ernestos tödlicher Irrtum, Er kam aus Mosambik, war 35 Jahre alt und glaubte, im Nachbarland ein besseres Leben zu finden – doch dann brauchte ein entfesselter mob ein Opfer”, some article in the Süddeutsche Zeitung German newspaper, with a photo of a man being burned at the stake by a mob, and another photo of a man in military gear with a gun that has something to do with african against african hatred against foreigners in South Africa, so much that even they are killing each other, and I can not really understand the language as it is written in German. And this concept I cannot understand, the idea that human man could possibly be inheriently violent against his brother. And maybe this concept could have something to do with Cain and Abel in the bible, as the descendants of man may have inherited this trait that man could be against man and brother against brother and a mans enemies shall be those of his own household. And even on the other side of the world I see guns as the worst invention ever and wonder if it is possible to abolish guns from every human being on the face of planet earth, and to abolish the images of guns from every form of advertising and marketing campaigns on planet earth. Does not advertising influence society. And even on the other side of the world, there are guns and the images of guns in the magazines and pop culture of Munich Germany such as the Filmfest Müunchen 2008 Offizielle Filmfestmagazin programm, there are photos of people holding guns on the pages of this magazne in film advertisements as if to look cool. Has this form of violence in advertising been since the beginning of time and will it be until the end of time, if ever. And is another world possible to be free from violence in advertising and marketing. And finally todays Yahoo headline reads “Gun rights is biggest issue for courts to decide.” And in other random thoughts, I somehow found myself at the Freies Musikzentrum München Konzerte, the Free Music Center in Munich that has jazz, klassik and worldmusic. And the photo of that concert I placed in this blog entry. And that performance featured the Improv Now music of Carsten Radtke, Gitarre, Jürgen Schneider, perkussin, Leonhard Schilde, Piano, and Welf Dorr with this really trippy electronica sounding sound effect delay. And that music rocked. And I thought to post more photos of my travail travel photos in this blog entry because I am still attempting to blog this travel vacation as I see all of those other bloggers do of their vacations out there in bloggerland. And that other photo above is of the Siegestor. And even though I am not really sure what that door gates historical signaficance could mean, I thought it looked really cool at night. And there is another photo of that third reich walking tour from the other day of the Feldherhalle on the Odeonplatz, or is it the Königplatz Führerbau place, some buildings and plazas having to do with Hitler, the Nazis and Germanys grim dark history. And then there is that photo of one of those smart cars, some car that seems to be half the size of those big Amerikan cars and uses half the gasoline. And smart cars they seem to be indeed compared to the gas guzzling hughe suv’s that are to be found in America contributing to the oil overconsumption and waste overglobalism crisis of the world. And again there are more photos and blah blogs of my blogaholicness travail travels that I would like to post in this blog post, and they are passig me now. Have a great travelling blogging day.
