Rarely you form a word from a modern language, unless some do it for fun, combining one of the hundreds of languages around. In music's case, however, you may hear people getting inspired from one culture or another, one beat from here, one from there, and such. The words have meanings, and, as lyrics they form an intricate part of a song, whereas beats have influence, making that respective song grow on you, if not make you instantly like you. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;But there is one other aspect, &lt;i&gt;the visual&lt;/i&gt;. If you don't have what it takes these days, if you don't have an image to sell yourself on to the public, or on the other hand, if you have a most "sexy" figure, you can forget about having a voice in most cases. It's in these instance, these "most cases" that you have to be skeptical about as to where it leads you, the fans... more likely, where it misleads you or your fans.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;The problem with this concept is not new, yet it has just exploded on the scene over the past 20 years 100 times over. Ever since ancient times, the "sexyness" had to be that friendly adjective of the music on stage. These days, however, it seems that ancient symbols and signs accompany a performance on stage or on a video clip on the TV. You cannot sell a record without having it air on TV, and if it's not raunchy enough, it won't make it to airtime. It seems like fans are being forgotten by the music industry, as it's all about the artist's appeal (in their opinion).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;You see this phenomenon everywhere these days, whether on award shows or music contests or festivals, and you wonder what's become of our music.&lt;b&gt; Is it the sign of our times, or are the signs dancing and toying with our times?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;In ancient times, everyone seemed to worship either God or some other idols; there were 2 sides. Religions have been created to divide us throughout the ages. Music was meant to be a uniting, peaceful factor. However, if it wasn't rooted in good, it had to be influenced by evil, leaving a musician dead, a fan committing suicide, a fan misled, other turned off, others disliking a singer because of a behavior (either on stage or off), etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;We never realize how times have changed, but the most important realization is just beginning to come out of the water, that sea of musical notes where singers drown themselves just because of the price they "want" or have to pay in order to achieve stardom or get their record on the market. Someone realizes it, and is manipulating us, and that is Satan. Unmistakably, the ancient symbols of pyramids, the swastikas, the pentagrams, the serpent, inverted crosses or any other crosses, the dragons, the "other gods" rituals, they have never left our lives. The evil one knows how to achieve its goal of perverting the music, and the conductors of the music industries, or those behind it, know how to tempt us, how to throw impure appetizers instead of pure music notes for the sake of making more money.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;The clef key resembles the serpent, just like the medicine symbol, or the dollar sign, for example. It is no coincidence that it was put at the beginning of each stave, whereas just over a few centuries ago it didn't exist. It's another reminder of who we can fall prey to, if we give in too much to the handlers, the gurus, the controllers of this world, all puppets of the evil one.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Why place a spec of dirt in place of a musical note?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;It is not people we should be aware of, it's the symbols and the signs (just like traffic signs put out there to warn us of dangers ahead) that we have to be mindful of who's ahead or what's ahead. It is all about mind-control, and it is imperative not to play their game, just as it is important not to hate on people, but to identify the bad from the good side. People don't make the world, but God can make it or remake it any time, while the evil one tries to break it each time. Hate the product (signs, symbols, temptations, appetizers, etc.), don't hate the messengers. This is how you get ahead in life, as in the music business.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;People are not made (or meant) to be judged, for there is plenty enough time for change, but their actions should be judged, for in the end we'll all be judged according to our actions, or lack thereof.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;As a musician, you should decide what is your future, you should listen to advice, to opinions, do some research as to who you are about to approach as your video director or record dealer. You should be the one in control of your lyrics, if not write it, contribute to writing it. Don't go in blindly and sign a contract "with the devil", or else you'd be misrepresented by someone you thought you should trust.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;If it's not all about music, it is about something else that has no melody, and is not a psalm of a song. Seek the poetry in your lyrics or in your song equally, but do not seek the poetry in motion, because a motion can blur issues and complicate things. Be reminded that fans make you, so listen to what they have to say and be inspired, not overwhelmed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Don't get dragged into false, cheat sheet, like, methods, i.e. the autotune, because that has the most weird sound a human cannot make, so it makes you wonder. Be yourself, and that matters most than being what others think you should become.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Some artists survive the onslaught, merely by continuing to write their own material oar have someone special in their lives, or just by letting their music speak and not the influences from unknown or controversial sources, even if they may befriend one or two of these people.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;One last point: the more famous you become, the more you will be approached by the ones with some ideas, which may look impressive at first, but there will be a point where you'll wonder what does it have to do with your image or your song. You should stay on your own two feet, and walk on as if trusting your destiny, and not have someone thrust in you their agenda.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;I have not named any names inside this article, but it is obvious that some of the big ones in the history of music (especially the contemporary, vocal music) have sung classic songs that we loved and sung too. Now that we know more about it, will we withdraw, throw them away, distance from the devil or cross the same street that it walks on just for the fun of it (or the hell of it)?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description><category>music</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2012/03/15/the-trouble-with-music.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">d6bf055e-6cdc-4690-bec5-ef53cef5681b</guid><pubDate>Wed, 14 Mar 2012 23:57:55 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Writing vs. Visualizing WYSIWYG? Not always!</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2012/02/09/writing-vs-visualizing-wysiwyg-not-always.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&amp;nbsp;With all the interest in "Pinterest", as well as Tumblr, couple that with the "Like" button for all the photos that catch your eye on Facebook, I wonder if we focus too much on visuals, thus forgetting the art of writing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Placing emphasis on what we see has a stimulating effect on our minds, however, when we are reading something, we are placing that specific content inside our brains for later use, and this has, actually, a long-lasting effect, like a study case which we carry with us for years and years... &lt;br&gt;.... &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mind vs. Brain&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;We rely too much on visuals, trying to see the impossible at times, while missing, at times, the obvious picture in front of us, that small detail, however, when we are writing something, we are more likely to remember it, not fooling the mind, thus, not deceiving it in such a way that a photo or a video can, because we are not missing any piece of any puzzle when we look at a word, a line or a phrase that we had just written... &lt;br&gt;... &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Forgetting vs. Remembering&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;A picture is worth a thousand words? &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;But these thousand words were never written instead of any picture, nor have been placed under any picture as a caption. What's more, you are more likely adding a caption after a photo has been taken in order for "the picture" to be complete.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Just like music goes with lyrics, so photos go with captions, or else we wouldn't know where it was taken, or in most cases, what would it imply.&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A picture can be altered, 
it can mislead someone, it can only capture a part of a story just like a
 video captures a part of the action. This is where the mass deception 
begins.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Pictures create thousand words after it was taken, it creates a discussion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;A picture has a thousand interpretations&lt;/i&gt;, for it is all in the beholder's mind, &lt;i&gt;only words have a thousand truths&lt;/i&gt;, for they reside right in front of both the writer and the reader, subsequently. A picture has the &lt;b&gt;"ooh"&lt;/b&gt; factor, while the writing has that &lt;b&gt;"wow"&lt;/b&gt; effect.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Trusting on a visual opens you up to apparitions which are meant to 
deter you from the real "picture" message. Relying on the word of the 
writing feather, has you trusting on the words that have been poured 
from its ink... &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;... &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deception vs Inception&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Funny thing: the internet has given people a network in order to communicate, to blog their opinions, yet sharing has become much the most anticipated thing, and pictures is the "cool" thing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Infinite vs the Definite...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;... You can either be swept up infinitely by a picture and its theme, or you can be inspired by a picture to write something that would definitely be much more of an inscription into a book or a blog post - that is called creativity. However...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;...&amp;nbsp; However, most often than not, you are bound to take on the belief that you are meant to see, thus forgetting the &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;trust&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; that the word "understanding" has, as you are taking on the "interpretation" which a picture has instead.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;u&gt;Writing means learning, whereas a picture means pleasure.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description><category>Faith</category><category>writing</category><category>Deaulivery</category><category>arts</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2012/02/09/writing-vs-visualizing-wysiwyg-not-always.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">541c51f1-4c57-4a6e-919d-450758d38aaf</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:17:29 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The F word</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2012/02/07/the-f-word.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&amp;nbsp; I never did like to swear, nor include any vile words in my writings, be they poems, articles, blog posts, songs, or novels even. Now I know the associations that come with it, and I'm going to share with you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; In my previous post I let you know about the signs or symbols of the occult world. If you do a search result on "sex and the occult" or "occult and sexuality", you will find that there are numerous connections, but the importance of it is &lt;b&gt;its origin&lt;/b&gt;... Satan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; It is not a coincidence that the film and music industry both thrive on sexuality, not to speak about certain television ads which induce the public mind into thinking with their body organs and not with their real mind.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;You see, the devil uses the art of sex in a perverted manner in order to distance people from God. Moreover, he banks on our negativity, our indifference and what not, so that he could insert his F***-ing adjective into our every day sentences we use to speak, not to mention into our brains so that we should mouth something like F*** you this and F*** you that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;I'm sure you noticed how publicly acceptable and politically correct it's become to hear the F-word adjective when someone wants to emphasize something or someone. I don't think it's a coincidence that more perversion is being pushed into the world today. Surely it is not acceptable in schools essays to include a swear every now and then in a sentence? So why should it be when we talk? Where did it come from?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you read about these things, and again, I do not want you to focus on them, nor delight in them, but to keep reading it as history, a story which is not taught in any schools, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;but a history which will reveal the many faces of Satan sometime soon&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;... And you shouldn't focus, therefor on these things, much because some have sold their soul to freemasonry or they're worshiping the wrong God, or some spirit, or are under hypnosis, or had visuals and encounters with Satan disguised as Jesus or as a prophet.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; We forget the most important thing: &lt;u&gt;Satan knows there is one God&lt;/u&gt; (&lt;b&gt;some among us know not or refuse to think that&lt;/b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;, and that He gave humanity &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jesus Christ&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;, &lt;i&gt;a part of Himself&lt;/i&gt; in order for us &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;to be saved&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; (from such rituals, atrocities, etc), in order to believe in Him by faith (&lt;b&gt;not by any visuals whatsoever&lt;/b&gt;), and in order &lt;b&gt;to keep close to God&lt;/b&gt; (and &lt;b&gt;not venture into the darkness&lt;/b&gt;, nor with lyrics in a song, nor by seducing our own kind with sexual innuendos). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; Don't be a puppet on the devil's string. These things are just beginning to come out to the surface (and the more you scratch a surface you will, eventually, unmask the beast behind it, without clothes, yet with horns), although some knew about freemasonry, secret societies and so on for a long time. People have been manipulated too much in as much as they have created other realms of faith, occult chambers, have used dictatorships within churches and have defiled the true meaning of life that God instructs us of in the Bible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; And so, this is why the F-word is something inserted into our lives by one negative source, so that we distance from the fountain of God. And God pours His love (not hate), His warmth (not cold), His revelations (not apparitions), His blessings (not cunning spiritual helpers) upon us through Jesus, and that should be our only connection, not another reflection, because anything else is a counterfeit of the fallen kind.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2012/02/07/the-f-word.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">a4e591c5-359a-4943-bc1c-8696b4de64ba</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:43:17 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Separate from the occult world</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2012/02/07/separate-from-the-occult-world.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;I wrote about these signs and warning in my &lt;a href="http://live.deau.me" target="_blank" class=""&gt;http://live.deau.me&lt;/a&gt; free live console there, but I am outlining here for you who have not heard about them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I haven't gone into detail about it there, or deeper, yet some of you may have heard about all the occult symbols and signs, also the warnings that come with them. While they may seem like a part of "this world" or a part of the "daily occurrence" without having realizing we're actually using them, it's just that... we should not be like everyone in the world, we should not partake in the daily rituals or occurrences because they're going to lead us nowhere, it won't deliver us to Heaven, we would be tied down to a world which ends, but until then, we're going to be duped by false, pagan and satanic like, freemasonry and the likes which can only come from one source - the devil himself, and he uses people to draw us to him.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This post comes after the halftime show of the Superbowl in which Madonna was portrayed as a queen, reminiscent to the ancient Egyptian one, no less, plus the signs on the stage, and, again I'm not going into detail, I let you do the research for yourself, yet I will let you in on the G inside a compass like symbol, compare that with the center image you saw while she was singing. There were also the two fellow singers there, MIA and Minaj with consistent hands down their crotch whilst singing. MIA went as far as flipping us, although be it cleverly disguised in the song, as if flipping someone else.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://youtu.be/MdBmiJwhCFQ" target="_blank" class=""&gt;The video.&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=""&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;explains a bit of what we are actually witnessing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And believe it or not, this wasn't the Olympic halftime show, but we may see similar stuff going on there (Olympic rings, well, something about them too, everything based on the sun, the moon, stars, just like days of the week, for example). All that's good about the Olympic games are the will of the athletes to compete, but they could do that regardless, right?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anything in the occult world is disguised but is visible, it's as if hidden in the open, and people are beginning to pay more attention to these occurring, and realize who is who. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Everything Satan does is by magic or by vision... hidden in plain sight.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Everything God is about is by faith, by trust, by warmth, by kindness, by revelations, by love and not by shocking us or playing to our subconsciousness like His counterpart, the devil does.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Unfortunately, everyone has been duped, misled, thus forsaken at one time or another, unless he or she walks in Christ and has the right ears tuned to Him, to Jesus, whom we know is the way, the truth and the life. Why would He come once for us and will come again to take His people away from lawlessness? Because God cares, and that is His way of communicating to us, through Him, and that is also His way of delivering to us eternal life, and not through anything or anyone else.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What you hear in many churches is Word Faith, exaltation, indulgence in the wrong stuff and people follow false prophets, too. You have been created by God, but not equal to Him, and not above Jesus, nor His equal. You are not the center of the universe, there are no other religions, everything is not what it seems, because what is suppose to seem should be by faith and by faith alone. And you know why? Because we leave our earthly body on this earth, only our souls is what counts. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Who wants to go down with a lustful, deceitful world and its false leader?&lt;br&gt;I think you'd want to go up with a wonderful Savior who cares about you and won't lead you to perdition.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is going to be hard to separate from songs you love, singers you grown up with, lyrics you thought were cool, rock n roll, horns, like, signs you always made thinking it's cool to do, in fact, you will realize it's not fun to be an all inclusive, but it's more fun to follow God, and a Jesus who should be revealed to everyone in everyone's hearts, or souls, unlike some who believe you will have to turn on the news to hear His return, that'd be His counterpart, the one we shouldn't pay attention or focus too much on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you understand this message, please pray for you and for your friends to turn to God and forsake the deceiver.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;God bless you!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2012/02/07/separate-from-the-occult-world.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">b6e0f87f-c4fe-4db6-a2f0-50db6bd1fe32</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:12:50 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Girl with the LED lit eyes</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2012/01/06/girl-with-the-led-lit-eyes.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;/font&gt;This will be a fun post! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thinking about "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring" movies made in recent years, and along with the LED technology ever in demand these days, couple that along with the fact that I'm a writer and creator, what would you say if you were introduced to a character who carried the light with her?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Certainly, many people wear lenses instead of glasses, so how about inventing some kind of a lens which had a few light emitting diodes (LED) attached to it? It is yet to be proven safe, although in the world of make-believe, the movies, it is possible to dream.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;And you are reading a dream-post right now.&lt;br&gt;You heard it here first.&lt;br&gt;If inspired by it, don't forget to give credit.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;This invention should also carry forth another benefiting factor for everyone alike, and that has to do with light as well: &lt;b&gt;seeing in the dark&lt;/b&gt;. Fitted with proper led lit lenses, we wouldn't need light another bulb ever! Sure, is it safe, you might be wondering... Again, it's a dream, but it may appear achievable with the naked eye movement (or rapid eye movement, if you are still dreaming at the moment). Now, if you were to wear glasses, the led lights would be easily attached to the frames, but what would be the beauty in that if you were to search for them in the dark or have to wear them at all, as we're all looking for a simplified solution.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For people that are legally blind, this would also come in handy, together with the optic lens itself. The LEDs would be attached to the initial lens.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We would need a switch, come to think of it, because led's don't usually make for good sleeping, just like any lenses, as some put them on their night table before tucking into bed. Should a switch come in sight, pardon the punt, we'd have to fit it to our blinking. Though, if you are a fast blinker, then this concept won't be plausible at all. In a movie, however, to a character who isn't blinking a lot with her eyes, it would come in handy. I think it would still be a good idea to have a personalized, individual number of blinks that would turn on/off the LEDs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now, you may have wondered about one thing: LEDs are still lights, and too much of it does not bode well for one's eyes, in fact it may damage eyesight, for both the wearer and the one looking at you, while you are looking straight in their eyes with that lit lens. You could were these light-emitting diodes on your eyebrows, you could even fit them around the eyes or a s nose ring, and what not, though what would be the base of that? For a movie, it would have to be that or nothing at all... for it to look like or give you an exaggerated, like, dream sensation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;LED lights are very practical when requiring treatment of osteoarthritis, pain relief (although not curing a headache), specific burns, etc. Unlike laser treatment, the LED one is evermore safe to use against aging on your skin (see articles about anti-aging using LED lights).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If this obstacle can be overcome, if it is to be proven safe to walk around with such light straight on your lens itself someday, then this would all go smoothly. But for now, there is no way of getting around that... or is there... &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Being a writer, I cannot resist the temptation of adding a little poem here (or lyrics, if you want):&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"The girl with the LED lit eyes,&lt;br&gt;That girl lives a led lit life,&lt;br&gt;She's the one I dream about,&lt;br&gt;But I cannot yet place her&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;close to me or thereabouts!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;The girl with the LED lit eyes,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;That girl sporting an eyelid, like, cover,&lt;br&gt;Needs not look past me as her eventual lover!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However, &lt;br&gt;I've yet to play it safe,&lt;br&gt;I've yet to get close to her &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; or thereabouts!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;When I'm looking at her,&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;She's eyeing me&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;angelically.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

And why do we decorate a tree with them? Most of us probably hang them up for fun, for the joy of Christmas, for the beauty of the holidays. Well, we might think about the last ornament on the very top of the tree itself, the last star, the most important decoration of them all, realizing it is for the meaning of the Lord Himself that we put up the tree.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is a habit, however, of forgetting that throughout the whole year we have experienced a lot of happenings, blessings, situations, coincidences, help from unexpected people and so on. That's when we could assimilate a few of the ornaments with these very situations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Another set of ornaments could be attributed to the fact that God is present in our lives whether we realize it or not, and so it is important to place a "thank you" globe or an "angel", or the Mary and Joseph pieces up on the tree.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now, how about placing something that tells about you? Have you been considerate or thoughtful throughout the course of the year? Have you inspired anyone? Have you strung along a sequence of greatness or of great results that you'd have great pleasure of reflecting over once the new year will come knocking with newer and tougher times?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And, so, we arrive at the candles... What shall we put up on the tree and light it up, give it some inspirited life with? How about the ones we've lost, the ones we'll remember forever, the ones who inspired us, the ones who have become our newest friends over the past year, and the ones who need our prayers for the year ahead, even the enemies, for they need prayers too, as good overcomes evil every time... and that's the spirit of Christmas too...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Goodness is not reflected through the richness of the tree but the greatness of it, the seeds of it, the meanings which are important only to you or to your family.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Second Note:&lt;/i&gt; &lt;u&gt;do we really need a tree every Christmas?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is quite a loaded question, but the answer lies within you, within your mind, your heart and your walk of life. If your walk reflects an accomplished way, if your mind understands exactly who is, where is it situated and how is the real tree raised up for, and the heart is at peace with it without any conditions, then you do not need a visual, for it is the faith that satisfies the soul, ultimately it is the main reason for the season who needs to be exalted on high... Christ, the Lord, thy God.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And that's Christmas in a nutshell. You can place this nutshell in your Christmas tree &lt;img src="http://blog.deau.me/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description><category>Faith</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2011/12/23/what-to-decorate-a-christmas-tree-with.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">a2c7d163-d29a-4846-abc9-0d432505a8d6</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Dec 2011 19:35:01 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Damsideaudication</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2011/11/22/damsideaudication.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>&lt;font face="arial"&gt;I'll be stepping into my 4th year of &lt;i&gt;considerate &lt;/i&gt;attitude and &lt;i&gt;dedicated&lt;/i&gt; creativity in 2012, so the upcoming annual renaming of Two Thousand and Twelve will be based on the Italian spelling of "twelve" = "Dodici"...&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;center&gt;- Damsi&lt;u&gt;deaudi&lt;/u&gt;ci&lt;u&gt;cation&lt;/u&gt; - &lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
2011 was a year of invention, reflection and promise. Damsideaunze ("onze" meaning 11 in French) was set out to be, indeed, the French year. It didn't have anything special consolidated in its renaming, but I wrote a poem "Two Thousand and a Life" and based it on the Dutch spelling of "Leven" ("life"), so it turned out to be a year of continuation and a better life for those who need it in our world, including me. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Ultimately, whether it is a French, a Dutch or an Italian inspired name, &lt;b&gt;inclusion&lt;/b&gt;, or &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;deauclusion&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/i&gt;is what I wish for everyone.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The more you live, the more your experience develops, the more you learn about yourself and the other people you come to meet in a lifetime, the more your will power to develop for one or the other, and the more you share with others, the more the world benefits and is blessed, because you make a difference.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;In 2011 I created the "deauclusive" part of my endeavors, which is available only to subscribers. In 2012, new series (including the tennis novel) will be renewed, as I'm &lt;i&gt;dedicated&lt;/i&gt; to bringing you, the reader, you, the inventor, you, the worker and so on, the best of my creativity in order to see something done in this world with regards to the water, the natural disasters, the new job names we all need, etc.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
You can subscribe to the Deauclusive stuff &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://live.deau.me"&gt;from here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I hope you all are growing into your passion, and, indeed, into your dedication with every day that you are blessed with!&lt;br&gt;

promoted/debated in Congress, and it has to do with taxing the "rich" 
more, basically evening the plain field in the classes department, well,
 I think it is better if the millionaires would not be subject to a tax 
but to &lt;i&gt;something of a higher importance&lt;/i&gt;, something which would bring &lt;u&gt;jobs&lt;/u&gt;, &lt;i&gt;new jobs&lt;/i&gt;, or create &lt;u&gt;locations&lt;/u&gt; where people could work, something that would &lt;b&gt;help the masses rather than tighten the classes&lt;/b&gt;,
 this resulting in making the government or the governing bodies benefit
 more, furthermore putting in place more "pork", like, bills, or have 
the people submit to their creations rather than listen to the people's 
creativity and demands for one place or another, or one item or the 
other, and so on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A tax increase on the rich? The argument is that you are only rich on paper, yet you never hold that higher amount in your bank account, for there are always taxes and more taxes imposed by a local government.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The importance of investing is well known by a sponsor and someone looking for a sponsor alike. This is where the millionaires would come in handy. We cannot determine who is rich and who is not, because one day you are rich and the next day you can be broke, but we can ask for an investment, &lt;i&gt;a sponsorship&lt;/i&gt;, if you like, from the millionaires. This would be better than a tax increase which does go nowhere fast or somewhere you never hear about faster.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I always have ideas, suggestions, etc., as I am a creative person, and not just in writing, so I jotted down some &lt;b&gt;new job names&lt;/b&gt;, these would be new job suggestions, because we need to advance in the world, not just in technology but in regular life. Such ideas would need funding, because what's on a paper could be in one of tomorrow's books.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When someone steps into the shoes of a millionaire, that person is one of the blessed few in our world, someone privileged, and ordinary people would also strive towards this dream if they were given a nudge. It is not an invitation, however, for someone to come and tax, or steal, for that matter, or even demand from the millionaires that they should give up their hard earned money, or lottery (you never know how lucky someone gets) just because somebody else tells them so.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Being a millionaire, one would imagine it is all about giving, and we should be privileged to his or her decision, not be someone who'd ask for something.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If the, so-called, "millionaires' tax" would be something of the future, then I believe it would be better to call it "millionaires' investment", because too many things are left by the wayside and we are not making progress with the few... we need the many in order to achieve something, &lt;u&gt;we need a team of investors&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description><category>suggestions</category><category>Deaulivery</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2011/09/19/not-a-millionaires-tax-but-a-millionaires-investment.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">2c94a962-9d21-4351-94e8-12760c612ce0</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Sep 2011 04:43:52 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>At the speed of Live</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2011/09/08/at-the-speed-of-live.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you have heard this expression "at the speed of live"&lt;/font&gt; used in conjunction with news, sporting events, running errands and so on, than you won't be surprised when you hear about a new era which is based on it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This new era is a branch which supports technology, its advances, the progress in medicine, science, sports, etc.. I have already started a &lt;a href="http://live.deau.me" target="_blank" class=""&gt;live-writing event&lt;/a&gt;, one which I haven't quit since July: writing a book, giving out tips and inspirations related (but not limited) to the game of tennis. I am writing a "Plot-on-Sports", as I call it. I believe that, with the game of tennis being played week in and week out by the pros, and adored by many amateur players all over the world, it is imperative to write a book &lt;b&gt;live, &lt;/b&gt;in motion, sort of speak, or... at the speed of &lt;i&gt;live&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tapping into a resource which has always had the reader waiting for a book for ages to come from a writer (novels, follow-up books, memoirs, etc) is one thing, but actually going to the source itself and experiencing live-writing, even contributing to it (if asked by the writer) with photos, videos, and such, is another. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Imagine a whole medium (a console, a java console, an iPad application or a Tab you are following, a twitter-like environment, yet with more than 140 characters) in which reading is just that much of a motion as is walking, and where writing equals the equation between knowledge, sharing and being up-to-date. Imagine watching a movie and waiting for it in another country to come out after a couple of weeks, even months (in case of TV series), although you already have friends across the world who have seen the series, so you cannot find any common ground with in relation to the movie, or its actors tweeting about it and so on. Imagine someone selling you a book for a high price, but a live-writing author would give you access to the writing process, or just the experience for half that price.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Imagination is like an intern network in which dreams, thought streams and other realization realms all come together to form one super highway experience. The internet super highway is where lot of things could, and in many instance really are occurring live, or at the speed of live. So why not think of imagination as an internet process, too?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Where technology has advanced our way of life, live events have moved us, and it's a process which has been there from the beginning. Now we are really beginning to grasp its importance (twitter-like, if you will). Bloggers write, and they are followed by a multitude of readers, even live readers, awaiting content that cannot come fast enough. So why not write your posts live? If not in front of a camera, then have your blog followed live, like the one I have at &lt;a href="http://live.deau.me" target="_blank" class=""&gt;Live.Deau.Me&lt;/a&gt;, for example.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you'd equate writing to a rolling stone, you can say it has rolled and rolled like the words which kept, and still keep on on pouring. Live-writing is the way of the future, because everything happens live, and we should be following &lt;b&gt;as it happens... &lt;i&gt;at the speed of live.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description><category>poetry</category><category>writing</category><category>Deaulivery</category><category>sport</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2011/09/08/at-the-speed-of-live.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">843b3597-b932-4a20-ab5a-0d4aca0d6169</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Sep 2011 22:34:32 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>What I'm up to</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2011/08/19/what-im-up-to.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>&lt;div style="" align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;This is a post to let you know where my passion leads me these days.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#0070c0"&gt;1st&lt;/font&gt; - currently writing a tennis with a difference book, emphasizing the point of staying on top of your play, while in the spin of the game. The difference is that it's not only coming from a point of view of someone who played the game and watches and hopes that other players would find their exciting game and regain the excitement of their play, but also from the point of view of a writer (so I'll be adding a storyline to the book soon).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Please follow the book&lt;/i&gt;, as I'm adding bits by bits &lt;a href="http://live.deau.me" target="_blank"&gt;at my Live Raydeau location&lt;/a&gt;. You can also read there my other books (two books of poetry and one about Heaven and Earth) or view past shows.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#0070c0"&gt;2nd&lt;/font&gt; - compiling an innovative music chart, where the song matters, lyrics matter, the singer adds to the song, and a performance (if possible to experience live or viewable online) contributes to the noble placing of it in the charts... It could be in the First Range or the First Place, so there are more than 1 song in either of those, and it's definitely not a countdown, but a showcase.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Please view &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://deau.me/musicchart"&gt;the music chart here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#0070c0"&gt;3rd&lt;/font&gt; - I'm also showcasing people who want to put their music first, artists who want to be heard, thus staying true to my discovering talents every now and then, positive people or role-models who need to inspire others mentality, and I am doing so &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.blogtv.com/people/blogsmusicchart"&gt;on BlogTV with BlogsMusicChart&lt;/a&gt;. But this is where I would need someone to present the show if only once a week, highlighting the musicians. I've also associated &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://youtube.com/blogsmusicchart"&gt;a YouTube account&lt;/a&gt; with the broadcasting one at blogtv. So feel free to drop by or sub to them.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color="#0070c0"&gt;4th&lt;/font&gt; - as far as my passion for horse racing goes, and for any other sport (not just tennis, football, soccer), I've created &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.theracingforum.co.uk/horses/bogart"&gt;a page for Bogart&lt;/a&gt;, a nice colt with a great future ahead (already winner of 2 from 3 races in the UK). There is also &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.theracingforum.co.uk/horses/goldikova"&gt;a page for Goldikova&lt;/a&gt; that I hold at the same website, and everybody knows about this horse, triple winner of the Breeder's Cup Mile (3 years running and going for the 4th probably this year).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
5th - just to say thanks to everyone viewing the pages and experiencing my "deauliveries". Please follow me on twitter &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/deaulivery" target="_blank"&gt;@deaulivery&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Writing live is like being alive, furthermore, it feels as if you are watching a movie, or a TV series, or following the happenings as if you'd follow the news on TV.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Being in the process of writing means walking with the storyteller, the author. As it is with many books, movies, series, every now and then you see a sequel coming soon, a follow-up to a previous book, and so on. By following what the writer comes up with every time, you can definitely be sure that, both the captivating factor and the entertainment value is going to be an impressive part of your reading. As well, the sequels may disappear, because the plot goes on and on, and it will be so until the final chapter of the book has been written, thus the writing event shall be closed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Just like following a sporting event, you could be following a book, and this certainly beats watching a scoreline being updated every few seconds or minutes. How about following a music band writing lyrics live from location, or from their bus tour? Anything is possible when it comes to writing, as everyone has something to write about.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;This reminds of the time when the mp3's changed the way we listen or store our music as we know it, so it may be time for writers to change the way they write a book for the readers, even get some feedback from them, just as it may be time for the readers to change the way they have their interest picked when it comes to books.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;I'm currently writing a book, updating it every few hours, a day, depending on my ideas or whenever life circumstances allow me to, and &lt;a href="http://live.deau.me" target="_blank" class=""&gt;you can follow it at this specific location.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><category>Deaulivery</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2011/08/10/live-writing-is-here.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">bc59f05f-5ae4-4a64-ac25-cfd9ec14a6bf</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Aug 2011 00:56:03 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>My Innovative Music Chart; Follow Up</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2011/07/09/my-innovative-music-chart-follow-up.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>There's one thing I'd like to add about &lt;a href="http://deau.me/musicchart" target="_blank" class=""&gt;the weekly music chart&lt;/a&gt; that I am compiling nowadays, and that is another innovative way that we can add to the dossier of our ever-interactive means:&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;- anyone of us could and should make their own charts,&lt;br&gt;not just have a countdown,&lt;br&gt;but truly place the song and the artist and the respective performance&lt;br&gt;in their deserved spots&lt;br&gt;according to our tastes -&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is exactly what &lt;font class=""&gt;Music Chart Esplanade&lt;/font&gt; (&lt;a href="http://blog.deau.me/2011/06/24/my-innovative-music-chart.aspx" target="" class=""&gt;previous article link&lt;/a&gt;) hopes to inspire (deauspire, if you allow me), because, like the word "deaulivery" which I coined shows, meaning a delivery which comes from us, a spring which initiates from us and is ever flowing, this has the same outpouring of offers and deliberations which come from us, telling more about us, our tastes, our traits and our tendencies pertaining to music, mood and the likes at one given time (one given week).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hope you are enjoying the charts.

As well, we may also get sick and tired of "there has to be a commercial" within half hour... no, wait... 3 of them within that half hour.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; For years, decades, in fact, or since television was invented, the commercialized era has never stopped interrupting us, or offering us their products in exchange for a program. That's all good. However, if you would think about it, TV, and Radio for that matters, has to run some ads in order to pay for their programming which has to reach the masses, to us, that is, and to even have a means to pay for their place, business, people, equipment and so on... Well, that equals addiction, whether they admit it to themselves or not.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;It's like a drink, it's like a cigarette, anything that is hard to give up for some, it is very hard for the television to change its habits, or for the businesses to change the way they "do business" in general when it comes to running ads or offering commercials to play them at any time, or run them at any time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; It would be an awesome thing if a commercial would run at a specific time, that way we, the people, would tune in, be interested, buy or share their products with friends or family. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Timing partners action in business, but interruption equals addiction.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; Placing a TV movie, or a live event, even the news ahead of a product which often repeats itself quite often, and it is not always a pleasant thing to hear or watch like it would be a music video for example which can be played 3 or 4 times a day, it'd definitely be a plus. We have to realize that when it comes to sponsorship, we have to be a team, one that has the same goal, and that is to interest the public in their products or tell them that they're there (special offers and what not) without boring them or disrupting them every so often.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; We see a lot of commercialized places in life, everywhere we look, but it is looking rather addictive, having to place an ad somewhere or have it run on TV just because money talks. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Money can talk, but placement, like timing, is mankind's best friend.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp; Now, I'm all for organized commercialism, and not for commercialized addiction!&lt;br&gt;What is your opinion on this?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><category>suggestions</category><category>sponsorship</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2011/06/29/commercials-are-networks-addictions.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">aa9c8267-cbbd-4981-9056-e2fae6fef4a2</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:25:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>My Innovative Music Chart</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2011/06/24/my-innovative-music-chart.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>&amp;nbsp;There are a lot of music charts around, and I started counting them down in the beginning as well, around 1990. However, with the times, I put my originality, my creative mind and the music itself (songs and singers)&amp;nbsp; in a selective blend, all this resulting in a special, non-fangled and exclusive type of chart... Emphasizing the song, the melody, the singer, the quality of both singer and song, this is what it's ultimately all about.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;After 506 editions (plz see old charts example &lt;a href="http://deau.me/musicchart/march.htm" target="_blank" class=""&gt;right here&lt;/a&gt;), over 150 online editions, including other music and non music categories, as the charts evolved into compilations (&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://deau.me/musicchart/marchcom.htm"&gt;as you can see right here&lt;/a&gt;, the last of the compilations, soon to be revived, though), time hasn't allowed me to continue making them. But now, thanks to an idea I came up with (the Maxute©, sort of a tweetable box, a banner-like, mapped image), the charts are going to look different, but the passion of promoting the artists, emphasizing the melody or the quality of the songs, plus the presentation of a singer on stage will go on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;This is how the first revived edition of my charts look... &lt;a href="http://deau.me/musicchart" target="_blank" class=""&gt;&lt;img src="http://deau.me/musicchart/musesplanadechartjune1.jpg?a=75" style="border: 0px solid;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;By clicking on the image,&lt;br&gt;you will be taken to the special site I set up for it,&lt;br&gt;and you'll be able to click on the links of this mapped pic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Some interesting points and facts about this chart: &lt;br&gt;- many songs in the world are very much worthy of listening to, and some are good quality regardless of the language barriers.&lt;br&gt;- the ranges (as I call them), used to be Third Range, Second Range, First Range, you could think of them as the Top 40 or so places in a regular chart, with one exception... A song could enter the chart at that position and, either remain there for a longer period, or advance to a higher position, depending on how the song grows on you, or how the artist is interpreting at other live venues, etc.&lt;br&gt;- it doesn't matter if there is more than 1 song on the First Range or the First Place, because the value is what counts right from the first week. It's not as much about airplay, it is about the song.&lt;br&gt;- the Favorite Hit represents the fact that you can only listen to 1 song at a time. There have been a couple of times where a whole album was classified as the top Favorite Hit of the week.&lt;br&gt;- the song on the Favorite Hit charting position used to also be one of the songs in First Place. From now on, any song that reaches the Favorite Hit status will exit the charts as a Favorite Hit without going back to First Place, First Range and so on.&lt;br&gt;- usually, I follow the British, US, German, French, Italian, Spanish, etc. charts, Latin, Country, Spiritual, Dance, Techno and other categories.&lt;br&gt;- there is no rule regarding the background of the singers, whether they are professional or not, new or old, etc.. However, the song itself has to be professionally recorded, or at least part of their repertoire, and not a one-off.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;More about the charts at another time. For now, please &lt;a href="http://deau.me/musicchart" target="" class=""&gt;follow it&lt;/a&gt; weekly and discover stars you otherwise would not in the mainstream ones.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><category>music</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2011/06/24/my-innovative-music-chart.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">ec1fb5fe-a1c6-4ede-a64f-b3ba63077280</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Jun 2011 21:00:34 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>A couple of poetic news</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2011/06/11/a-couple-of-poetic-news.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>&amp;nbsp; First off, this week I wrote a poem, and it just happened that I got an idea about making an animation where I included, eventually, the poem.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; Here's a fragment from the poem itself:&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;The sea on one end,&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;The ocean on the opposite,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;and find the bottom of our sinking flop?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;Are we not&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;a twosome in perpetuance?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;Can we not share,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;Exchange a look,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;Consult a book,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;Create a nuance,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;wherein two stories&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;with two different looks&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;become one verse&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It is an event organized by &lt;a href="http://www.blogtv.com/people/artists4life" target="_blank" class=""&gt;Artists4Life on BlogTV&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;div&gt;Believed you were here,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;In fact, I just felt your tears&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;running down my spine.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;It was as if you said:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;You don't have enough time,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Don't you have something to say?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;You may end up and be the prime thing,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Or you may end up tossed and turned&lt;/div&gt;

The act of having sex itself, this could be up for a debate, each to his and her own ways. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; There had to be a follow-up post to the previous one just to clarify some things and emphasize others. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; We were not meant to be alone in life, we were not made that way, yet sometimes, some circumstances lead us to be on our own, for a shorter or longer period of time. This doesn't mean that we should fornicate, nor should we try to make it with ourselves. While urges happen, it is natural, but if we force the issue, if we &lt;i&gt;knowingly&lt;/i&gt; continue down this path, then the procreation law is taking a backseat in our lives, and our lives won't be continued. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sex itself is a unification.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; Adam and Eve, in the beginning, they probably did it quite simply (just got on with it in order to create&amp;nbsp; generations), but through time, the experience of sex got to be something of a chocolate bar, if you pardon the punt. And so it is that in our culture, nowadays, the oversexualization and overt sexualization that happens on the billboards and on the media, this is a temptation that, frankly, people could live without. What this does, is stimulate you rather than making you buy a product. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;There is a sweet way of promoting and there is a sensual way of doing it; there is a spectacular way of presenting something and there is an over the top way; there is a half empty glass (some clothes off) and there is a half full glass (some clothes on); there is a shock value way to go about saying something (in words or in pictures) and there is a friendly way...&lt;br&gt;On which side do you fall?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp; So many big men have been brought down by sex scandals, and so many women have been called into question, whether they lied about it or not, just like men, whether they had an innocent affair or a serious one which caused divorces. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; If we use sex in order to procreate, with our personal added sweetener, &lt;i&gt;innocent&lt;/i&gt; methods, then we have a clear head, but if we use it to undermine the notion of life, thus use it for other purposes, it is not an ideal way to go about in this lifetime.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can we say...&lt;br&gt;Men are the key, while women are the door?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; One last important point: sex brings together two people in order to create &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;"the oneness"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. This is not just a saying... 2 become 1... This is something beyond comprehension, something beyond philosophical, it is of a spiritual nature, a heavenly way which we might not be able to fully understand nowadays.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;We do it in order to become one,&lt;br&gt;and one holds us together.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><category>Faith</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2011/06/07/why-the-sex-the.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">33ca0b5b-1026-47b6-bf86-6b46b846ac64</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jun 2011 21:02:59 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Why the sex?</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2011/06/01/why-the-sex.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>(( &lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;Please note: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;with this post I am not saying that sex is wrong or 
evil, nor am I stating it is of the devil. What I am emphasizing, or 
bringing forth is how it is sometimes considered a manipulator, or a 
briefcase for adultery acts in case of a divorce. I am also calling to 
your attention, the fact, according to the Bible (and not only), that 
Satan will use any means possible, and sexual or sensual ones are at his
 root, in order to enter your life unlawfully and con you into doing 
things (perhaps like sex addiction, porn, rape, etc.). Note the 
"entering of your life" is different than God's entrance into this world
 through Jesus who had to be born first, lawfully, in order to live. If 
something or someone doesn't enter properly into this world, its ways 
and means are not according to the laws of this world. If something or 
someone was to enter through this world properly, its acts will be done 
on Earth as they are done in Heaven. ))&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;People are as beautiful as they come.
&lt;div&gt;To the eye of the beholder we are a charm, we are sexy!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The shape of our bodies scream out for special regards, compliments, seductive attention.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;So why the sex?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; If we look at it from a biblical perspective, the beginning of mankind had seductive innuendos at the helm of deceit. The rebel, Satan was allowed by the serpent to enter its life and take its life-form in order to use it against Adam and Eve. Rebelling against God is one thing, but praying on the innocent human-beings and playing with their mind (not to speak of the blameless animals who do not have a mind) is a line which the devil crossed at that time. Sure, the woman could have argued with the snake, but she was swayed, moreover conned into demonstrating a foolish act, the result of which brought shame into the life of the humans, and, so, sexual motions were advanced.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; Analyzing the UFO discoveries during the past couple of centuries, (and, indeed, if there have been ones prior to that) none of them showed anything other than a humanoid, and no encounter was a happy one, either people got taken away, left in the middle of the roads, got examined from head to toe leaving moral scars for life that sometimes makes you think of rape without any trace or marks. The look and the acting of these humanoids, do they resemble anything good-looking, good-mannered, good... period? Have you asked yourself that? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; To me, they resemble little demons, small in stature, big in telepathic, hypnotizing skills similar to a beast, but of course, without the horns so that people would think they are superior beings, when in fact they look simple, ordinary and want to conquer the mind of us, and tear through our soul lest we have a spiritual connection with God, Himself. They have often appeared to tormented souls, agnostic ones, atheistic ones, to anyone who they appeal to have a connection with. And if you ever saw that they were real in a picture in a magazine or a video, then they'd like to plant doubt in anyone's mind that they are real and God is not or has forsaken you. We know better that the devil is actually defeated in the end, but that doesn't stop him because he has it with God real bad that he would hurt a human-being, a thinking person made in the image of God, and that would be enough for his mischievous agenda.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; Now, the good part of sex is when the end result (after 9 months) is a wonderful new baby that's being brought onto our world. We need sex to multiply, but does it do anything to our health? It doesn't cure a headache, it may loosen a muscle that's strained around the obvious areas, but so does rest, it doesn't help with the research for a cure for a sexual disease etc. With the technology that exists today, a baby can be created from what the male brings to the table and what the woman takes from it &lt;img src="http://blog.deau.me/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; As well, making love, to us it sounds like a beautiful thing, and it feels so, but it is not a hunger or a thirst issue, it is a lust issue. Again, I wonder...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;People are as beautiful as they come.
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;To the eye of the beholder we are a charm, we are sexy!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;The shape of our bodies scream out for special regards, compliments, seductive attention.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;i&gt;So why the sex?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp; Everyone is familiar with the culture of oversexualization, as in, sex sells, they say. If you don't add this ingredient into a commercial, it won't make any appeal. Really? I'm still going to buy the ice cream I want or the jeans I want or the glasses I want without telling me it's sexy wearing or eating something.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lust is not something which lasts, but love lasts and lasts and outlasts.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; We have read about the lack of shame that existed in the biblical days in the Garden of Eden, so how did God intend for us to multiply, or how did He see the matter of us having sex the way we do in order to procreate? We are also aware of the addition of pain during a woman's pregnancy after the incident with the Tree of Knowledge. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; You see, what if God knew that we would have to sin eventually, like a prophecy, and the day it happened, our days were numbered. Once birth was to be a part of our human world, death had to be a part of it as well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; Well, lots of &lt;i&gt;what if's&lt;/i&gt;, and some of them we are not entitled to know right now, as it is one of the mystery of life, or a secret regarding the birth of a baby which was not made known to us yet this side of Heaven.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; Come to think of it, lots of women, even men, have gone through life remaining virgins.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; Perhaps God intended for us, with the means of the current technology of allowing us to have a baby through various, alternative, conceiving ways to go full circle, i.e. to return to the days of the Garden of Eden, then when looking at one another was innocent, not knowing about the sexual context actually felt pure, and that added an essence of purity to one's life. It is said that a period of purity (or a life of purity), especially when in prayer with God is important, and it is known that Catholic priests choose to serve the Lord and not marry during their lifetime.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; Is sex a manipulation tool, a blackmail one? Many often than not, it is, or it is the precursor to more serious sexual offenses.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; Look, but do not touch.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Love, but do not lust.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Admire, but do not cheat.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Think, but think with your head and not with your sexual parts.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These are some common sayings, or famous quotes which you may have heard once during your lifetime.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;What do you think about them? Have any others that you would add?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What do you think of the overuse of "foul language"? Do you think it's a derivation of being overly sexual in your conversation? Do you think it has any place in our culture? Is it a way of frustration, of letting of steam or just a joyful, dirty way of speaking to someone in a derogatory way?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;What do you think about this topic? &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This post has an ecclesiastic tone to it, a philosophical tone; it poses a question we cannot fully answer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><category>Faith</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2011/06/01/why-the-sex.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">d5832131-b750-4f2b-9a20-7704a23f872c</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jun 2011 19:28:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Personification of God through Christ resembles Communicating through a Language</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2011/05/31/personification-of-god-through-christ-resembles-communicating-through-a-language.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;May you be blessed upon reading this entry! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; Thinking about the personification of God through Christ is like us trying to learn a language in order to communicate with other people. So God communicated with us through His language, and His language had many wise parables, many sentences, culminating in one &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Word&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;. This immense Word was, essentially, needed and is needed and will always be needed by us in order to communicate with God.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;We can only give birth to words in order to talk with one another &lt;br&gt;(we cannot give birth to people in order to communicate nor bargain for someone, &lt;br&gt;that would be slavery and mistreating of people),&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; whereas God gave birth to one Word, willed for one person, &lt;i&gt;one personification&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;so that we may understand God's good intentions for us and for this World He gave us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; In a language you need many words in order to express something to someone, yet with God you only need one Word, because that Word leads you through many phrases, many segments, many fountains, if you will, (because from every fountain springs little rivers in our lives), as from every phrase, quite the same as those fountains, spring many expressions, many words, all forming various human-beings' stories culminating into and leading up to one word... The Word.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;All roads lead to God.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;All rivers lead to God.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;All words come from one Word.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;All languages mix into one Word.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; Essentially, if you learn another language in order to convey your thoughts and make yourself understood by the person that stands in front of you, you personify your thoughts into words, or personify your language A into language B. Basically, this is all we do every day... put our thoughts into words just so that we could relay them to other people. Even through sign language, as well as through drawing, even writing, this is all we do... we convey our message so that it can be understood by the party opposite.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; God is a language, is a universe, is a creation. A language is a source of communication, a nucleus, a matter inside a brain. God is a brain, more than a brain, in fact, a thought which cannot be processed by the human mind, a spirit which cannot be seen nor touched, not even communicated directly with because of its immense magnitude, immeasurable mercy and unassailable power of intercession through His Son, The Word. If sentences intercede between us with words, and if languages make it possible for us to understand one another even if from different countries, then this is a miracle within itself, it is a spirit which moves us, something that we cannot touch, but we can sure feel, something that we cannot see, yet we can sure sense.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; The paragraph above illustrates just how God and people are alike, although from opposite horizons.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; If you wonder more, let's speak about illustrations, photos, pictures, sculptures, and the likes. These carry the same personification level as the languages, for if we see something, we understand something, as they say, something visual carries more weight than something invisible. But this is where this situation stops. A picture can go so far, but a word is something definite, just like math, something precise. A picture, much like a sculpture, it could send its observer into different directions, it could make a person think, and a thought is like an interpretation, it goes left, right, wrong, etc.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A word is a word and that is it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; Yes, everyone who writes can make you think as well, but a word is a word that has a place in its sentence, in order for it to make sense within itself. You cannot have a proper sentence without a noun, a verb, an attribute, something! But again, a word is a word. Now, whether it makes you think or not, whether you agree with its subject or not, that is up to you, but just like you would add 1 and 1 together in order to equal 2, that is how a sentence works.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;Words are pockets of a society, and a sentence moves every people.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;We chose the right words that move ourselves, as we chose the right words to put on the brakes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; In God's language that He has for us, a wordship means a fellowship, a relation, much more than a communication, a closeness that He intended to have with us in the beginning and maintain it through the ages.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; God placed us in this world in a precise manner, perhaps just like the science of mathematics. I don't think it is by chance someone is born to one family while another is born to a different one. You can travel from one country to another, but you cannot travel from one mother to another, or have a different father either.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;God placed words inside a sentence in order to make it sound good in any language.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; God placed us like words, if you will, inside a sentence called world. I don't think we could have been born and live in another planet either. Astronomy might grow in knowledge every now and then, but you cannot get closer to a law of impossibility, only to one of improbability, i.e. aliens, various planet lives, etc. And so, if we're on the subject of other planets, maybe the evolution, explosions, rearrangements and apparitions of other stars, galaxies and the likes every once in a while is just like the start of another universe... just like it was in the beginning when the universe was formed, and in that case billions of years would be needed for that... incidentally, in Heaven, God could conduct the orchestration of the planets, the sky, the earth, the stars, and so on, in just a couple of moments, a couple of days, if not instantly.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; The whole instauration of a language in our lives serves the purpose of communication. To God, the inception of Christ was the most important development in our humanity. Again, much like the creation of a universe, and related to time, The Almighty thought all the process of inserting Jesus Christ, His Word, His Son from the beginning, and it probably took a couple of days, it just took longer in human years, say, a few thousand years.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; A language is the movement of the words. The Word, the Lord, is a following of sentences, parables to an extent. God &lt;strong&gt;is&lt;/strong&gt; the parable, is the sentence, is the movement, is the Word and all the words, is the love and the love-giver, is the light and the light granter, etc.... all of these through Christ who is the carrier, the intercessor between God and us.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; Speaking all the worlds languages might not be enough to understand God, but knowing one language is enough for us to share the Word.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp; The Word has a place in every language, because it is a word for every people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><category>Faith</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2011/05/31/personification-of-god-through-christ-resembles-communicating-through-a-language.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">4a5d2e34-ecec-4504-b9ff-0f9b74534ab9</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 May 2011 07:35:46 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>It should always be about the Song</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2011/05/17/it-should-always-be-about-the-song.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>The following blog post is one I just posted on my Eurovision.com&lt;br&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;(At the end of it, a few thoughts about the winners of this year, 2011)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;This year's competition in Dusseldorf was a super spectacle of fashion, much less about the songs themselves. It may have left some wondering about the winning song, but many wondering, yet again, about the votes. So it wasn't all about the songs themselves, as it should always be. This is what it leaves me thinking:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Eurovision has gotten too big for its own good, so much so that some don't give a hoot about it, while others give it too much attention, and that pops up the voting block issue from them once more. I think it's time to let this competition return&amp;nbsp; to being all about the song, less about the voting procedures (they changing like every other year). And how is it going to be all about the song? Well, in the beginning of this competition, some 55 odd years ago, before our times, singers of one country were singing 2 or 3 songs on the night. Nowadays, with so many countries participating, I doubt there will be time to do that, but that is why we having semifinals and a final. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;You could have a world cup format with, say, 5 in each group, neighbors going against each other, and have only 1 country coming through as the winner. 5 nations into 8 groups, say, 40 countries in total, plus the big 5 which qualify automatically, so, all in all 45 nations. On the Grand Finale night, have 13 singers (or bands) each performing 2 songs, probably 2 which they previously performed on the semifinals. And, voila, Le Grand Prix de la Chanson would gain some of its wonderful and marvelous aspect of caring about the song, the singer, the joy of participating, a whole spectacle of singing would spring from this.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Another great thing would be to give Europe, and all of the countries participating in the Contest, the opportunity to view and listen in to a countries preselection songs, and vote on which song they liked best, or which 2 songs they liked best from an artist. This would spark the interest more and eliminate or minimize the arguments of one song would have done better than the one actually going to the Eurovision proper, and the likes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;These two ideas would lift the heart enormously, because all that music does is lift up the atmosphere. So let us hear the music, and let's not dwell on other stuff besides the music sheets at the end of a contest year in and year out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Oh, did I mention music sheets? My bad! There is no live orchestra so no music sheets on the stage! What can we do about that, Maestro-Fans of Europe?&lt;img src="http://blog.deau.me/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br&gt;...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;And now, a word about the winners and the songs I liked this year.(not included in myEurovision)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; Where there is a voice, there is a song. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; Yes, they usually go hand in hand, if you have a great voice, people would listen to you, and some liked listening to French singer, even if the opera song choice wasn't up to everyone's tastes. There must have been something about Lithuania's singer, as her voice was superb, but the one I liked more was Austria's. Again there wasn't much to content with this year, although I have mixed feelings about the winning song.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; As the winning song suggests, lyrics-wise, Running Scared because I adore you is not always the great message, all being metaphoric and all, I understand it since I'm a writer, however, it is too melodramatically inclined to match a great winning song. Not the greatest voices in the book of Eurovision 2011, but Azerbaijan's entry was a good winning choice by the jury. Yes, I don't think it was, in the end a choice of the public, although we shall see, if the EBU results, 50% jury in each country, 50% viewers in each country would be anything to go by.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;The song itself sounded like a Eurovision song, no doubt, and that might be, perhaps, why it won, plus it was a first time nation that triumphed, so a double whammy! What do you think?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; I liked Estonia's entry. Getter Jaani and the crew did themselves justice with a wonderfully entertaining performance and an upbeat, kind of different "groove". Yes, the playback was obvious in some parts to complement the singer, as no orchestra allowed, or maybe I'm wrong? Who sang the backing vocals? lol Anyhow, Nadine Beiler of Austria and Getter of Estonia, along with Denmark's anthem-like song were my favs (although Danish entry was something I heard before, one of those songs you can't exactly put your ear as to where and when, but nothing too new).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; And what about Lena? She and Hotel FM's front singer were the most photogenic, no doubt, but a smile can only do so much. Lena must surely come out of this European fantasy and wake up in the modern era one day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><category>eurovision</category><category>suggestions</category><category>music</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2011/05/17/it-should-always-be-about-the-song.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">e1fa138b-85c0-4e54-b51a-7eb78bcd5d4b</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 May 2011 01:28:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Eurovision - A renewed musical dawn</title><link>http://blog.deau.me/2011/05/11/eurovision---a-renewed-dawn.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Deaulivery</dc:creator><description>&amp;nbsp;What hasn't been written about &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest" target="_blank" class=""&gt;Eurovision Song Contest&lt;/a&gt; through the years, that it's a great party for one night, good to see so many cultures getting together in the name of sharing 1 song with the pan-European crowd, that its voting is rigged, that the acts are so unique, that some other countries don't stand a chance, etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Let's pick it off from the last part... "that some other countries don't stand a chance"... It is interesting to see that so many different musical cultures, so much so that the music tastes are not for everyone, or just not everyone's daily sound on the radio. I think it would be very positive to see a one-off, a one night only, some song which would identify the Eurovision Song Contest as a unique event where the song is not something repetitive, not a remix but a &lt;b&gt;mix&lt;/b&gt;, a blend of a country's national sound with a modern, international one.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;I think the best way to make a Eurovision song is to find common notes that everyone would like, not nationalizing it, but internationalizing its sound. (as I previously &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/deaulivery" target="_blank" class=""&gt;twittered&lt;/a&gt;, prior to writing this blog post).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;I had also suggested once to have special voting blocks, like up to 4-5-6 neighboring countries within 1 group (much like the world cup) from which only 1 or 2 would progress to the final, depending on the number of countries participating in the Contest (in 2011 there are 43 countries competing). You can view my post on my &lt;a href="http://www.netvibes.com/damsidereight" target="_blank" class=""&gt;Damsidereight&lt;/a&gt; Netvibes Universe (please select Eurovision tab once on the page).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;However, from today onwards, I thought about this special way of composing this song, and, please, by all means, let me know what you think of the idea. This would eliminate the gaps between the countries when it comes to musical tastes, and it would get rid of the much discussed block voting diaspora.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but one thing is for sure, a change &lt;u&gt;should include a change in music, or the way the song is made&lt;/u&gt;, because the Eurovision is a gettogether kind of event, it is not a separation night. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Uniqueness and originality has its special place in everyone's hearts and minds, it's what moves and drives a people, and this could be the start of a special music place in history.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;</description><category>eurovision</category><category>music</category><comments>http://blog.deau.me/2011/05/11/eurovision---a-renewed-dawn.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">5f580fa0-a052-44f0-a804-13f62aa813f4</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 May 2011 21:33:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
