I'm feeling rather ill; well it's a Crying Shame.

Sure is. I'm feeling pretty low at the mo'.



You might as well check it out; cheers me up. Okay, here's a song, as I still don't have anything decent to write about.


Muse's 'Crying Shame'*

I'm on half-term holiday anyway ^_^

This is the B-Side to...Supermassive Black Hole. Yeah. Great song.

*It's said this song wasn't put on Black Holes and Revelations due to The Rolling Stones having a song titled this on their album; oh well.

Dead Star; still ill. -_-.

And I'm feeling good

Sorry guys; still can't think of 'out. Anyhow, I thought I'd put another video on here; what a suprise!

Rose petals and megaphones, it could only be Muse.

By the way, ignore the scary people in the audience...Ahehh.




It's Muse's cover of Feeling Good. Originally made by two rather unknown composers; the song was made into a chart topper by singer Nina Simone. And then Muse altered it a little. Enjoy!

-Dead Star; can't play this song.

Futurism...W00t!

I'm afraid I couldn't think of anything over those two blank days; ramble block. Which is pretty hard to believe for me.

So, let your inhibitions go* and listen to this.

It'll have been nothing you've ever heard before; unless you've heard it before...Which I doubt you have.

Ehehehk.

-Dead Star; listening to B-Sides.


*Muse - Easily.

Starlight, I will be chasing a starlight...

...We had the B-Side, and now it's the single. This isn't the full song; but I feel the video's better than the one that is now associated with the song. And watch out for the flare gun ^^ So; here be

Starlight (Director's Cut)



-Dead Star; sticking with her instincts.

Easily one of the greatest B-Sides ever.

Muse - Easily.




-Dead Star; just owned YouTube.

Exhausting yourself just for people to see, what you want just ain't healthy.

- Muse, Citizen Erased (yeah, I know the parody title's corny...)

Anorexia.

It seems to be a competition between teenagers and young women to be the thinnest. I don't see what it really achieves; I'm that age and I think visable ribs and stickness-ness is just rather revolting. Curves own all, and they don't kill you!

Anyhow. There are an increasing library of documentaries on the subject; female journalists and peoples have been going on 'Size Zero' diets to try and achieve it in a very small period; and it was horrific what happened to them. Not only did they look bad, they felt it too; utterly drained. What image are new-age designers trying to promote? Next everything'll be brown with leaves sticking off it to go with it*!

Part of one of the documentaries I watched (as you've gathered, I watch a lot of these things. It's nightmarish what happens,) showed the journalist woman going to a modelling agent. It stated about the recent deaths of two models due to anorexia-related disorders; and yet, it seems the world doesn't care. They continue pushing girls thinner; and that's really just to fit in their clothes. I don't believe in being stick thin and I'm not afraid to admit I am not; as I was in New Look one day I had to get an item about three sizes bigger than what I should average at. It's ridiculous. Anyway, this agent dude said that even if a young girl who was very pretty came in, but she couldn't fit in the clothes, she'd be turned down.

It's ironic, no? Makes you wonder what goes through these people's heads.

And as the competition continues, there will be a smaller size. I mean; say you have a friend who's naturally thin, but that's because she's rather small. And you're rather tall; and not so naturally thin. Trying to make yourself like her will end up taking you to disasterous extremes; death being one of them.

In another documentary there was this special place set up for ghastly anorexic girls, to try and get them back on track with how they should be. One of those girls was TWELVE.

Please, heed my warning.

-Dead Star; DEFINITELY NOT anorexic.


*Yes, I mean a twig. You twig.





--------------------------------------------------------

If you've read this far, I believe you deserve a treat. To one of the greatest B-Sides in the world (yes, it's only a B-Side! I was shocked also) it's Muse with Easily!

(Sorry, I haven't figured how to actually get it to work on the page; meh.)

There's no justice in the world, and there never was.

-Muse's 'Soldier's Poem'.

War*.

'War' can be used in several ways. Children or adults who've fallen out with someone may state they're 'at war' with them, encased in a constant agrument. This usually clears up without much problem. 'War' also relates to something that you hate that isn't really living; and thus you personify it through that. Say you're swamped in a load of coursework, you'd be 'at war' with it.

All of these end up relating to fighting though. And through fighting, there is bloodshed, death, destruction and dismay**. And big wars; world wars, really are just put down to a small disagreement that errupted into something historians would write about for years to come, something that those who lived through it could never forget, something that took life away from those who had to fight in it.

Sure, everybody wants their side to win. And yeah; they don't want to be humiliated. But at the end of the day, what difference does it make? Unless the losing side are now totally dominated by the victors; they'll come back again (take WW1- and then WW2 for example).

Religion*** causes wars also. If everybody just accepted the diversity that exsists in this (I'll say it again) corrupt world; half the deceased would not be so deceased, half the wars would never of occoured, half the world might never be poverty-ruled, half the marriages might still exist.

Anger, hatred, delusion**** and soulessness*****.

Just let's all be friends; but no.

Corrupt civilizations for years to come. What joy.

-Dead Star; wanting peace.

******









*Oh, we're having a jolly week, aren't we?
** Why do many horrid adjectives begin in 'd'? I was thinking of more but I didn't put them. Ruddy hell.
***I'm athiest; so I'm stating that kind of 'end religious war' thing more than anybody else probably would.
****There you go again! What did I say?
*****Yeah. I am listening to Muse's New Born.
******Why are there so many afternotes? No I am not swearing! I might though. I swear in my mind when in this subject. A place where nobody can hear me, a place where I am not ruled, a place I am free and a bit insane.

Because no-one really cares, they're just pretending.

EXACT lyrics from Muse's 'The Small Print'.

------------------------------------

Bullying. I appreciate it may be a tender subject for some of my non-existant readers, but I know how it feels. Trust me.

Anyhow.

Bullying is where you are targeted and either verbally or physically assualted. It may be because of a dissability, height, size or even mental ability*. Or some other reason. Or just because they're bored.

Bullying seems to be what a cold-hearted imbocile would do for enjoyment. Maybe it is. But there's other sides to it.

Whilst this child is being targeted, the bullies may have problems of their own. Problems at home; maybe their parents are alcaholics or take drugs, or are just plain agressive and abusive. Maybe there's not much money or they live in a crime-swamped area. Or maybe the child's been bullied themselves and have turned to getting back at people in order for it to go away from them.

Some cases end in suicide or attempted suicide.

It doesn't have to be like this. There is help, there is Childline and all that jazz; but some kids don't want to turn to anyone. They don't want to show it's getting to them. They don't tell anyone in fear of the bullying increasing.

And so they feel that nobody cares.

When that's not true at all.

-Dead Star; standing for the rights of others.

-------------------------------------------

* I got picked on because (don't think I'm being bigheaded, that's not what I'm promoting) I was clever. And they weren't.

I think I'm drowning...

Muse - Time is Running Out.

Okay, so the title's a little corny for what's going to follow. Let's say; I'm off putting anything logical at weekends on this. So instead, I thought I'd make you smile.

Okay, here goes...

BEFORE...

(Yeah. If you don't know who that is, go research Muse some more...It won't take you long from that.)

...AFTER...

^_^

Okay guys; I'll be back with something sane on Monday!

-Dead Star; Muse Messageboard lingarah.

Mario Game.

I didn't really know what to post today, I'm feeling kinda dead. So I'm giving you this little game instead.

Mario's Adventure 2 - Join Mario on another new adventure

Enjoy!

-Dead Star, online game addict.

That maths homework I copied from you, 'cos I never knew.

- Muse, Sing for Absolution (yeah, I changed it quite a bit this time, but hey.)

Okay. Education.

Primary Education.

I love the fact that Tony B (who'll be leaving 10 Downing Street soon) and all that politics jazz are promoting the 'education' bizz. But what has really been done about it?

I know, when I had my year 6 SATs booster sessions, because the mixed ability group was just that (I mean, vast differences) I never really learnt that more than I already knew.

And when I get to Secondary, I get asked if I know of something in Science.
'Miss never taught us science, sir. She didn't know 'out about it, sir.'

It's quite unnerving.

And yet, are there improvements? Somewhere along the system, is it really working? Are those special needs kiddies getting all the help they should? Or can schools just not provide it anymore?

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

(Ah-ahhhh!)

School councillors. Yeah. World from a la'l person's pointa-view. Through a child's eyes; their experiences can be very powerful, and more interactive than any adult's ever could be.

So maybe, maybe it might just work.

Maybe.

-Dead Star, ex-councillor of year three, four, and now in year eight.

It fuels the cars and pollutes the world; never will be Glorious

- Muse's Glorious.

Anyhow, yeah. Anybody with some remote intelligence lodged away in their skull would know that I'm on about petrol, and thus global warming.

Global warming...Yeah.

The ozone layer, on what we have depended on to sheild us from the true blazing irony of the sun for all so many years this mere planet has been in existance won't be able to hold up much longer.

Our torturing and overuse of all those garden gassy stuffs really is a matter now. We can't go flinging it around like confetti anymore.

Soon, if we don't stop, the sea level will increase and rise due to the melting of Antartica and the Artic, and swamp coasts of countries and continents.

And some of that may happen in many people's lifetime.

Especially mine.

I'm going to live my years through it, with so many others. And yet, we have no real power over what we can do to make what will be our world a much better place.

And so we watch, as it all dissapears before us.

Da-- you all...

-Dead Star, speaking on behalf of the new generation-

You left us far behind, so we all discard the race.

Yeah, that's the scariest thing I've seen all day, too.

For you n00bs that do not know where the title was from, it's from Hate this & I'll Love You - Muse. And as usual, I changed it a bit.

Anyhow...

You left us far behind, so we all discard the race.

Lozl. I'm a bit late for commenting on the London Marathon, no? I just watch it to see all those funkeh costumes running by...And those people behind the railings who look like they give a da--, lozl! Heheh, good times.

And then the random interviwer-persony-blobby-thingy just walks over from the sideline and starts talking to a dude dressed as a carrot, expecting a verbal essay from start to finish when the poor dude's face really fits in with his costume. Or he's addicted to suntanning booths. Or both.

Meh.

Anyhow...

My duck's rolling, on a m't'rway...

Lozail.

-Dead Star, listening to too many Weird Al parodies.

The live DVD that is: Hullabaloo

A must for all Muse fans or Music collectors, or just somebody who really wants to see a young band reaching their full potential.

Devon rockers Muse's first official live DVD, Hullabaloo (released after Origin of Symmetry and before Absolution) is well worth the watch. 90 minutes of pure stage performance (trust me, this'll show you where the Best Live Act awards come in) and 40 minute film of over that year.


Sorry, I tried to give you a link, but I'm [WORD] with HTML. Just go on HMV's website and tapper in 'Muse - Hullabaloo' in.

Do you know how many times I previewed this in trying to get it right?

About 8. Then I gave up.

-Dead Star, battling against the torture of HTML.

Pay, You will pay, You will pay a bit too much.

Yes! Issue about...

*Drumroll*

Internet/MMORPG subscriptions.

So, you're on your favourite MMORPG, when you think "am I missing something here?"

You look around to see some idiotic rich noob wearing [enter item here] and think "I want that!"

So, after a year or two of searching, you find not only will your poor character have to pay ingame money, but you'll have to pay a subscription too.

Say, £3.50 a month?

Nah, doesn't seem much, does it?

1 month = £3.50
2 months = £7.00
10 months = £35

That's £35.00 on a game subscription before even a year has gone.

Idiotic and useless.

Pay, you will pay, you will end up paying a hell of a lot.

-Dead Star, ex-Runescape membah.

I encourage your smiles, I expect you all try!

Good luck to all who shall be enduring their SATs/GSCEs or some other random exam of torture.

No pressure, 'ey?

And I hope you all pass them with flying colours (oooh, pwetty...) and then are free and happy and stuff.

And then can go back to the Bliss of freedom. Or get those 'ickle Bitesize Revision square-headed pirahnas to eat it for you O_o

-Dead Star, currently exam-less.

My soul is sucked into the supermassive INTERNET!!!

Yes. I seem to live a computerized lifestyle and that's how it stays.

"Oooh internet can't you hear me suffer?
Oooh internet can't you hear me moan?
You caught me on a lousy evening, and
How long before you give me my weekends back?"

Gawd I'm sad.

And addicted.

Whey.

Well, the internet's EDUCATIONAL, innit? Is it? Is it? IS IT?

Yeah, but is it healthy?

Scientist says "no".

-Dead Star, staying up 'till midnight waiting for an update.
