It just dawned on me - this beautiful song on the latest NIN release.
I believe this is done from the perspective of someone who has passed away.
They are staying close to a loved one, 'watching over' them..like a gaurdian angel..
'the lights in the sky have finally arrived - i am staying right beside you'
'watching you drown I'll follow you down - I am staying right beside you...'
I could almost picture my dad singing this lullaby to me as I struggle through life...
and then the song transitions into corona radiata - which to me reminds me of floating in space..
could be an interpretation of someone passing away - and experiencing whatever happens -
it is unknown but the feel of the song reminds me of what I envision..
very cool - I just love NIN music.

NIN Crazy Train
Just trying to make good use of my commuting time.
Thoughts on the new album: The Slip - and the feedback from fans: idiotic (some)
Some don't like it - vehemently do not like it - or feel it is too disturbing.
I'm wondering if those that feel it is sooo depressing or disturbing, if they've ever heard any other earlier NIN albums? Hmmmmm.....
Doesn't matter I suppose, it's just slightly annoying to read, so I will choose not read the comments that plead for a group intervention to help Trent Reznor - GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK! lighten up people!

BNY Mellon Customer Service these days (or the lack of...)
Regarding the latest Banking screw up -BNY Mellon lost tape issue.
My banking institute was one affected - and on their website they give the advise to contact this special toll free number to verify whether or not your account is in danger.
So, just to be safe, I called.
Well - what transpired set me into a wild rage.
My call was answered by a seemingly pleasant woman, who couldn't really speak a lick of english, broken english in all fairness.
But I proceeded, live and let live, this is the world we live in - I've dealt with worse...right?
wrong.
For something as important as this I expect more from a customer service representative and banking institution who fucked up - it wasn't me who fucked up.
I advised why I was calling, then the rep proceeded to spew off a bunch of incoherent ramblings. From what I could gather, she was reading straight from the press release - everything I already knew. So I politely said thank you, yes that is why I'm calling, could you please verify that my account hasn't been affected - hmmmm - not sure what she said, so I said Yes? I heard a deep inhale of exasperation, and a pause, and then 'wast name pease' = 'last name please' .
So we're making progress...not.
I spelled my last name because I knew for sure it would end being spelt Huff -completely wrong.
So I spelled it out the first time - and again, another heavy exasparated inhale, 'sorry - mum pease repea' = 'I'm sorry maam could you please repeat'
Second try = close to boiling point.
This time she attempted to repeat and what came out was 'aoufta' - WTF!
I said NO - H as in HOTEL, she proceeded to interupt me - 'a is wha?'
H as in HOTEL...
'mum, wha?'
Ok - that was it for me - if you can't understand basic American words, not slang, actual words! you don't belong on a customer service support line giving information about someones life.
Sorry - you lose and so does this bank -
and so do I...
I proceeded to inhale a heavy harsh inhale - and said ' jesus - FORGET IT - jesus learn to speak English - not engrish!'
Very frustrating indeed - I know she's a person just like me - but what on earth is she thinking she can do a job like this? Did anyone tell her she needed to speak proper english?
What on earth is BNY thinking - do they really have to be so blatant in their uncaring attitude?
WTF!

Oh my god!! This is one of the best mixes of music I've thrown together -
Magic - pure magic - for the last 2 days - I've had no road rage - I've been able to think clearly -
And I feel like no invisible walls are standing between me and what I need to do to be me!
Magic Magic Magic - the music - all music is magic!
here's the magic set list:
approximately 80 minutes of ecstasy!

Surrender – The Chemical Brothers
Corona Radiata – Nine Inch Nails
The Tower That Ate People – Peter Gabriel
Bittersweet Symphony – The Verve
The Private Psychedelic Reel – The Chemical Brothers

What a World
How funny this is...(sarcarsm)
more and more reports of under age sex - well what the fuck do you expect?
ads for condoms all over the place - sex ed at an even younger age - vaccines under the guise of protecting from cancer when really it is an ok to go forward and spread your legs.
what do you expect when most parenting comes from the TV, internet, video games, etc.
What a world this has become - Asia is falling off the face of the earth with natural disasters - thousands dead between Burma and China -
Burma / Myanmar - under a nasty evil regime, standing by while it's people perish in the aftermath of the cyclone..
China suffering more and more aftershocks and death toll rising from the earth quake..
And yet these issues are not making the top story -
Humanity is breaking down - and the only thing we can focus on is ugly politics, underage sex, murder - car accidents, etc - when all of this is our own fault - individual responsibility -
what the fuck do you expect>!
I am so thoroughly disgusted today by the nasty machine we all feed...
