Hello once again zero fans of the blog.I am back again to write about a book I read a week ago and hopefully I'm gonna mention some other staff that are about to cross my mind throughout the composition of this post..So...hey ho let's go...
A week ago I finished reading "Survivor" a novel written by Chuck Pananhiuk.Although I had already read "Lullaby" from the same author,the book was a pleasant surprise to me as there were simalarities but not so obvious and boring as the best-sellers of Dan Brown (if you've read one,you,ve read all of them...)."Survivor" was a scathing ctiticism over the modern way of life,the media-manipulated masses,the so-called messiahs only brought to the surface to serve interests,religion and its brain-washing consequences,couch-potatoes,drugs and their strong association with every aspect of the human routine,love as a heart-breaking and self-indulging crime,masterbation as an act of true-life substitution,sex as the final ordeal to the next level of existence,truth as the only thing we humans have to walk through the shadow of the valley of death.
To make a long story short but also to give you a small picture of the plot I'm going to use the following words:Tender Branson - last surviving member of the so-called "Creedish Death Cult" - is dictating his incredible life story into the flight recorder of Flight 2039, cruising on autopilot at 39,000 feet somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. He is all alone in the plane, which will shortly reach terminal velocity and crash into the vast Australian outback. Before it does, he will unfold the tale of his journey from an obedient Creedish child and humble domestic servant to an ultra-buffed, steroid- and collagen-packed media messiah, author of a best-selling autobiography, Saved from Salvation and saviour of our brave new world.Among other matters both bizarre and trenchant.
So as the author said on his site:"The book is about our educational system and how it leads children to just fit in the existing work market and world,the system does not encourage people to start their own company so that they can create and run their own lifes...".Ofcourse that stands for a great part of the book but there are also other numerous issues that the reader should take into consideration in order to fully comprehend the elements of the Palahniuk's masterpiece and they are the thing I mentioned hesitantlessly above.
So that's all for the book.I encourage you to read it and be empowered by the truth and originality of the script...

Happy Birthday Mr. Frusciante


Somehow I got confused by the exact birthday of this miracle-maker. I had been informed by a not so prestigious internet site that Mr. Frusciante was born on the 7th March of 1970.Unfortunately I was misguided for the truth lied on the 5th March of 1970. So with a two-day delay or postponing(to suit my needs) I would like to wish the following to the man who put himself in the Rolling Stone's "The 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time":

Happy birthday John,I would like to wish you the best of luck,success and creativity,elements that already distinguish you as a person. Keep on connecting to that other side of the world that is full of music,peace and loving feelings for all living creatures. I wish you to make a greater leap in that forth dimension of yours and maybe you acquire the courage it takes to verbally describe it to even the lie damn him...Apart from the wishes I ought to confess and thank you for the following which you have so "openhandingly" provided to me.Thank you John for the inspiration,thank you for your musical composition,thank you for your songs,thank you for representing every phase of my life,thank you for being. It is wishful thinking to say that someday I will reach your age and I will have the same level of musical production I have nowadays. The fact that it is so difficult to see you or talk to you face to face or even write to you with the prospect of someday my letter will reach your hands is my motive to continue posting in this blog on and on and on and on... I read a book one of these days and at some point there was a highlight,a pick in the scenario that concluded like that:"Every single gold-fish that my parents bought me to love and care only taught me one thing:Every being that you caress will die some day".I am certain that this will never apply to your music.You as well as Mr. Michael Balzary are two of twenty or thirty people in the world that truly understand the real essence of music. Your assembled mind-stream is a lingua pura like maths,a universal language understood by both toddlers and adults.In order to close this small extravaganza I would like to tell you John that your philosophy for life mirrors my behavior towards life and it is a promise to myself to be more like you and less like the world and maybe someday who knows someone like me will have the opportunity to sit in front of a figure like you and tell you what I told you through this blog...I am ending this with best wishes and a hidden hope that at a point in time you will come across this little confessing corner and read these words.

Thank you John and...happy birthday...
