Political Activity

On top of trying to stay active on my blog, I’m trying to stay active in politics. I’ve been in touch with Darlene Jalbert, who is on the local NDP executive committee, and this week my goal is to explore what I have to do to be a part of more current activities in our area, and how to encourage young people to voice their concerns about the government.

Jack Layton seems focused on building a stronghold in Quebec, and it seems he feels that’s where most of his support lies, but I hope he realizes there’s a strong following in him throughout Canada, despite what our first past the post polls suggest.

Hopefully we can build the strength of our opposition by standing with them, and keep Canada clean of greedy corporate agenda’s.

If you want to get more involved with the party, in order to help stop Harper’s anti-Canadian agenda, go to the NDP’s website for contact info: NDP: Contact Us

Album Review: Pavel Dovgal – Cassiopeia

The album art really does set the stage for the album's expectations.

I stumbled upon Cassiopeia while perusing the Project Mooncircle website. It’s magnificence struck me almost immediately, and I was forced to dive in for a better taste.

If you’d like more information about Pavel or Project Mooncircle, go to www.projectmooncircle.com

 The album name, Cassiopeia, comes from one of the original 48 constellations discovered by Ptolemy in the 2nd Century AD. The constellation is located, in the sky, south of Andromeda, and is said to represent Queen Cassiopeia, who was known for being vain and slightly narcissistic. The theme seems very intricate, and abstract, but then… so is the listening.

The first song on the album, Ahu Tongariki (Road to…), starts off with an omniscient echo drum beat, reminiscent of an ancient ritualistic drumming around a fire accompanied by a harmonic angelic voice. The song as a whole is rhythmic and soothing.

Girango continues with the rhythmic mood, but incorporates a sweeping feeling with the shakers, and an evolving harmony that seldom remains expectable. Visuals of being lost amongst back alleys of a large suburban area fill my head as I listen to it. The song seems to begin with a more melodic pace, being supported by the drum beat, and evolves into a more drum centered, almost heart pumping rush.

Quant Magic, song numero three, initiates with an interesting sample which sounds somewhat like a clanging of hammers on metal, or construction. It has a melancholic harmony backdropping this constructive feeling, but the supporting backbeat adds an optimistic feeling, almost as if the song is in transition from a sense of sadness, to a sense of ability to overcome.

As Quant Magic evolves, the originating sound is drowned, and immediately refocused into an intense focus of static, rhythmic bass, perceptibly ”being in the zone.” The evolutions of the song continue as a more “twangy” drum kit joins the fray, adding a sense of play amongst an ensemble of digital effects.

Lyra Bird features the work of artist BekBekson, and from what I’m listening to, the pair make quite an excellent duet.

The song gives off an overall airy feel, as if you’re floating in the clouds at a slow pace. A seldom heard saxophone adds a dash of pepper to the mix, giving it a classy feel, to go along with the funky bass line, and breezy synth sounds.

Probably one of the coolest song title’s on the album, Parade your Planets definitely earns it’s moniker. The song’s melody seem spaced out, and very dimmed, with a heavy focus on a crisp drum kit. The ominous overtones of the synth, the sparsely placed shimmering sounds, and the static, definitely give one the feeling of being in a vacuum at times.

Sacred Chants of Shiva definitely comes at things from a spiritual angle, with an Indian sounding chant opening the song. An echo effect gives the physical concept that the singer is located inside of a hollowed out area, perhaps a stone temple of some kind. Meanwhile, there is what sounds like a throaty clicking noise, similar to the mantra‘s chanted by many Indian cultures during meditation. Some sudden digital noises wave through the overall soundscape at times, giving the impression of the music travelling through a sound field at high speeds.

Describing the drums on this song would be like explaining the most intricate of salvia trips, but if I were to describe it any way… I would say it scoops you up from the left side, and drops you off at its end, and repeats the process addictively until suddenly and abruptly coming to a finish… Just like a salvia trip.

Blue Phoenix was a collaboration with Verhovski, and seems to be some kind of transition/intermission song. The drumkit is relatively simple, like a deck of cards being shuffled almost, and it is overpowered by a harpist, which lays a mellow but electrical feeling tone.

Andromeda is probably my second favorite piece on this album, it really has that hip hop feel. For me, it has a lot of overtones from a lot of universal perspectives. From a writing perspective, I could see urban struggle being expressed, combined with a larger then life aspiration for more, expressing the realization of humility, and ultimately the embrace of self responsibility. The soundscape is limitless to me.

Solar Midnight is truly aptly named. The vibratory sound in the backdrop of the beat has a very shaky feeling, almost as if on a quantum level it is shaking, but it is still contained within the overall network of the instrumental. A looping sensation ensnares a feeling of entrapment, but the overall feeling is one of intensity and longevity . . . just like the sun.

LA is the first song I heard off of the entire album, and it is what got me hooked into listening to the rest, so it is not a lie when I tell you that this is by far and away a love at first listen song. The introduction of the instrumental and samples at the beginning give the common Hip Hop head his hint that this is going to be a unmistakable Hip Hop beat, and it’s going to be monstrous.

Sure enough, and without disappointment, a grimy and heavy bass line hits the track, then fuses with the introductory session, which you could have sworn was already a masterpiece as is. As a whole, this song is SUMMER WORTHY! It also features the work of Fancy Mike.

Number 11, Document, incorporates a female vocalist sample, which seems to just give songs like this such a warming feeling. The song sounds as though you are walking through a series of bells and they are ringing around you at different tones as you pass them by. A digital glitch like sound in the background gives off a technological sounding influence, as if… perhaps this is virtual reality? hehehe

Salzburg begins interestingly with a tongue clicking noise. The concept of using bodily made sounds like tongue clicks and finger snaps has always been a concept I liked, especially when being used in a digital production environment, so that definitely left a good impression on me.

As the song progresses however, it takes on a much more serious sounding overtone. A sound which reminds me of the sound of a Gong, but far more surreal and mechanistic, gives off the feeling of observing imminent danger, as if the song is replaying a tragic and historical moment for you. One moment in particular I seem to want to relate it to is the Last Emperor of China, when he was first removed from the throne.

Sacred Chants of Shiva (comfort fit remix) is an interesting change from the original, incorporating a less indian influenced sound, and a more sustained tone like sound, accompanied by another great drum beat. The great thing about this song is the relatively flat nature of the basic structure of the production, and then all of the overlying pieces that dance around it and give it texture.

This is probably one of my favorite production albums I’ve heard to date, and that’s impressive standing next to the likes of Blue Sky Black Death, Blockhead, Flying Lotus and many more to say the least.

Big shouts out to the Project Mooncircle crew for having the ambition and creative energy to make such amazing stuff, and for Europe, for harboring such a sick musical culture.

Peace

An Open Letter to Prime Minister Harper

Hi there,

My name is Tyrone Lamoureux, and I am a voter in the SD&G riding.
I`ve found myself communicating with Guy on multiple occasions
regarding policies I disagree with being put forth by the Conservative
government, and for the most part, I have to say, he`s been very
cordial in his communication. However, that wasn`t the case this past
Tuesday around 1PM. 

I made a call to Mr. Lauzon`s office and left a message with his
receptionist, and received a return call from Mr. Lauzon within prompt
and short order, which I was pleased about. When it came down to
actually discussing the particular issue I had, though, he was not as 
forthcoming. 

Personally, sir, I absolutely disagree with discontinuing the voter based 
subsidy, despite understanding that it is seen as a cost efficient move.
The cost effective nature of the cut, to me, does not justify the liberties it 
is taking with our democracy. 

A strong argument, counter to what I believe, that I`ve seen is that a party 
should fund raise and the like to make their party stronger, and the 
constituents who support them should support them, as opposed to 
having the tax dollars forced out of individuals who support other
philosophies. 

I`ll give credence to that perspective, but I cannot accept it. The reason 
for that is because of the nature of the beast we`re dealing with. It`s far
more complex then that. 

Specifically in SD&G, sir, we have an extremely visible class conflict
which is occurring. Despite not knowing your feelings towards homeless 
people, addicts, and the Youth of Canada, I assume you have faith in 
their capabilities as people. From this then, I would like to tell you that
Cornwall, specifically, has a huge potential to be an epicenter of sorts, of
Canadian growth and prestige. It is falling very short of this possibility, 
though, thanks to the lack of our communities attempts to reach out to 
these groups of people and engage them in the community. 

This lack of communication leaves these groups disconnected from 
politics, in disdain and contempt of the very system which feeds the 
veins of their lives. (water works, electricity, transportation etc.) Many of 
them have difficulty finding work, despite many people`s idea`s on how 
to put these people to work. The trouble is, not enough funding towards 
small business`. Regardless, these people who are impacted by 
poverty, in whatever means it exists, they are the ones who would 
conceivably vote for a left leaning party like the NDP, but they`re also the
very people who can`t afford to invest in the future of that party, because 
that party is trying to invest in their future. Cutting off the subsidies to 
these parties, is truly a step backward for our representational 
democracy. It is a move against the interest of the common layman, in 
my view.

So upon remarking my disliking of the subsidies cancellation, Guy replied 
that the majority of his constituents have reacted favorably. Civilly, I 
replied with my previous explanation of why I believe that is. (I`m a 
people person, and I talk to the poor, the rich, the middle class, alike 
about politics) I was referencing Karl Marx`s Class Conflict theories in 
the conversation, when Guy suddenly hung up on me. 

I`m not sure if that sort of action is acceptable on the part of your MP`s, 
but I can tell you it certainly wasn`t very appreciated. It was quite
obnoxious, and upon immediately trying to call back, he had stepped out. 

Ultimately, my issue is that I was being civil, and explaining a logical 
concept in the context of a sequential conversation, and was insulted 
and hung up on, which only plays towards the spirit of what my instincts
are saying about this subsidy cancellation.

Sincerely,

Tyrone Lamoureux

Why Windows Mobile Will Remain Horrible

I write this blog as a sudden inspiration to expose Microsoft for the horrible thing we all already know it is, which is seems to think it’s managed to make everyone forget it is. Just because Google is making huge moves all over the computing markets, doesn’t mean we don’t still think you’re evil.

To the point, why Windows Mobile will remain horrible? I don’t even have to go into detail here… everything Microsoft ever does has some stupid subscription fee, or extra fee so they can jack you in the ass. I have no doubt whatsoever that their business model will not suddenly shift away from the very same one they’ve been using for PC’s and X-Box for years.

For every extra feature they manage to come up with for their phones, they’ll jook you with some kind of fee from the background! Oh, you want access to this content? become a Windows Total user for a small fee today!

Service with a smile! (As in, we have your money. thanks! )

While the iPhone already gets away with similar, Apple has always been known, at least in my eyes, to be only slightly less greedy then Microsoft. (VEEEEERY slightly)

In any case, for all you people taking Windows’ bashing of Android seriously, do yourself a favor and educate yourself about open standards, the GNU GPL, and any political document having to do with Freedom… while you’re at it, read Plato’s “The Republic”. After that, come back and look at what’s happening between these companies and tell me you don’t agree that Microsoft is just a sore loser who can’t compete without throwing dirt at his competitors eyes.

This has been Tyrone, venting.

Cheers

Cheers 2 Us

RIP Guru

I don’t even know how to start saying what I want to say, and to me it actually seems like it might come off silly that just a fan would feel so strongly about an artist as to write out a blog about it. Here I am though, and it’s the truth… as much as it’s weird to admit, I kind of used the wisdom in this man’s music to supplement a lack of that kind of guidance being given to me in my family life.

Guru, as an artist, touched millions of peoples lives, in so many ways. His powerful lyrics were almost always soul driven and with deep reflective meaning. On more then one occasion, I have prescribed Gangstarr tracks to friends for the right words they needed to hear. Now that he’s gone, I can’t help but think what a shame it is… There’s so much more Guru could have done with his career for the music industry.

That brings me to talking about my viewpoint on Solar… and I really have to express this… Even though, I’m not involved with the scenario, as a fan observing… I always felt Solar was taking advantage of Guru’s artistry as well as his viewpoint on the rap industry.  Being that Guru was in Gangstarr since the late 80s’, and was a part of a solid group identity for so long… I feel like it would be a natural inclination to fall into the same situation again… but I also feel like it was a time when someone needed to give him the advice “Go out, explore the world of music that people are making. Stick to your roots, keep your identity, don’t change your movement… but work with a lot of people, get to know them, have fun making music all over the place with different instrumentation, and ideas.” I mean… Gangstarr was officially admitted by Guru to be “ended” in 2005, but in an 03/04 European tour, DJ Premier abruptly left back to the US from the tour. It’s feasible to say it stemmed from something that happened in that moment.

What was going on in terms of music in ’03? Mad Lib had just released ‘Sounds of Blue’, a record recorded in the same spirit as Guru’s Jazzmatazz albums. If anyone has ever listened to vol. 1 and 2 from beginning to end of the Jazzmatazz albums, you can tell right off the bat that what you’re listening to is Guru’s soul.. he is speaking loud and clear about his view on the music industry, life, social norms, religion and more… I believe Guru viewed music as a political and social tool to empower people, but also as an outlet of alleviation. When you listen to vol. 3, (released in 2000) you see a change in the style, but the same pervasive soul message is there… Guru even worked with J-Dilla on one of my favorite tracks by Guru, Cerified:

In 2005, Guru came out with Guru The Street Scriptures, Version 7.0, and my feelings about this album are somewhat bipolar… I love half of it, and the other half I like, but I can feel “mainstream” influences creeping into the music. When I first heard it, I disregarded it, and in fact… somewhat appreciated it at the time, because I thought it would be more well received among a larger group of friends… I turned out to be wrong, with the exception of a few smart people who could identify Guru’s intellect and message.

However, when Jazzmatazz vol. 4 came out, Solar again had made the entire production score for the album. The most disappointing thing about this album was the complete and utter change in direction the series had. Prior to 2007, when it came out, the series was accompanied by live instrumentals, diverse production teams, and an all and all more distinguished creation process.

Just how soulful would it have been, had Dilla used one of his Donuts beats for an album with Guru right before he died? One of my favorite tracks of all time surrounds the emcee guest appearing in it, spitting about his disease and about how he only has 3 months to live. Too Poetic died 3 months after the recording of “One Life” with The Last Emperor:

Perhaps that wouldn’t have been entirely an option, in social circumstances, but my point is that there was a lot of creativity going on around him, and I think creativity was something he was having a hard time seeing in the industry. It’s not like the music he put out wasn’t soulful at all, it absolutely was, it was Guru… not possible to not have soul… but it’s all about the entourage and the movement around you.

You can tell a lot about a persons aspirations and general intentions in life, by the way they present themselves to those around them, and Solar was no down to Earth dude. Guru’s family talks about just how manipulative Solar was in everyday circumstances, and even Statik Selektah recalled a tale of when he met Guru and Solar at his 19th birthday party:

A guy who is rude to people, in his own world, making his own plans… That’s someone I don’t trust. What’s worse is, if you look back at the 20 years Guru spent making music… he was always a spiritual guy… He knew of the Nation of Gods and Earths…  To me, it seems totally out of character that Guru would demand that none of his past affiliates should have anything to do with his legacy moving forward etc. as he expresses in his “letter to the fans”:

“I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events, tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this,” wrote Guru. “I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ.”

and Guru’s Nephew also speaks about it at length:

Either way, this is a pretty legitimately fucked up thing for Solar to try to do for himself with someone he would call a friend’s legacy. This flash in bad character leads me to believe that my previous suspicions were right, I think Solar was trying to waylay Guru’s creative expression, for his own personal greed, having repercussions on the overall schematic of what Hip Hop has been in the later 2000′s.

Hell, even Just Blayze is calling out that it’s bullshit:

Freestanding Structure

Hope and love is something we aspire to for an eternity,

We build and build toward some ideal thing we have in mind,

time plays its toll, as the architecture of the plan continues,

yet generations of people find themselves nested,

caressed by lust, confused by love, and misled by the unfamiliar,

youth is a blank slate that creates the walls which hold power,

however, the shadows of success never allow us to understand,

because they shed light on our weakness as merely a man.

As memories fade away from the original ideal,

the next step launches to pad another generation,

one built from the bottom by aspiration and goodness,

and somewhere in the middle, lost its integrity,

shed its care and zeal for what was once considered ideal,

until finally one of the rows of stone laid across the tower,

notice that they are about to fall back unto which they came,

and wonder how it is that their people have become such cowards,

still they strengthen themselves in order to fix the problem,

but once we’ve stumbled, it’s already too late,

the weight at the top, by the middle cannot be sustained,

to topple to the foundations from which we came,

tis’ a sad fate that gives me pain, it gives us pain.

Answers shall never show themselves to those who do not fight,

but we realize now, we can at least enjoy the sunshine in our face,

even though we can’t quite come to embrace that outcome we require,

there is no reason why we should not warm to the grace of the fire,

The fall will be long, hard, troubled, painful and tiresome,

but the bliss will be exquisite amongst those who survive it, <Photo 2>

the love will double amongst those who would have it,

I wish that I wasn’t dead, so I could feel the beginning that I missed,

I’m sorry, I couldn’t hold up the ship, the mast was too broken,

it couldn’t be fixed.

post script.

Betwixt, my mind remains, as I type out a silly metaphor,

knowing full well that those who would read it will only be bored,

yet it means more to me, then living out my life,

to express that my whole being is made entirely out of strife,

the fight within the burning flame of my soul which leaves a stain,

I cannot forget the connection I once had.

Pharoah Monch Trip

Well, it’s 4:44 am, and I’m writing a blog! Just goes to show where MY focus is at!

Actually though, something I really want to work on is getting to bed at a decent hour. I’ll get to that soon.

First, I’m here to talk about my venture for tomorrow… err… Today!

I’m going to Cornwall, to see the Slaughterhouse feat. Pharoah Monch show, hosted by a buddy of mine, Sean Michael Paul. If you don’t know the guy, you should! He shows a crowd to a blast, so look up his shit! SMP, big ups homie.

Rangs April 9th!

My alterior motive for going down to Cornwall is to meet up with my buddy Shawn Cardinal and start looking at places to live at. So far, I’ve emailed 3 locations for us to look at, and hopefully he has a couple as well.

These are the three places I’ve looked at so far:

http://cornwall.kijiji.ca/c-housing-apartments-for-rent-2-bedroom-2-bedroom-W0QQAdIdZ195338195

http://cornwall.kijiji.ca/c-housing-apartments-for-rent-2-bedroom-Clean-2-bedroom-Upstairs-Apartment-for-Rent-W0QQAdIdZ184685918

http://cornwall.kijiji.ca/c-housing-apartments-for-rent-2-bedroom-A-BARGAIN-BEAUTY-in-MOVE-IN-Condtion-W0QQAdIdZ194999401

What do you think? I’m not quite sure which one I like out of them, but I guess that’s why I’m going to have a look.

Price wise, they’re all decent, especially if it’s 2-3 people living there.

I might be taking some photographs of them while I’m there, so if I do, I’ll be sure to post them on here. Oh, and if I get some pics of the show I’ll most certainly be posting them as well.

Cheers, and Good Night!

p.s. I want to post something about Google Reader soon… *** reminder ***

In the beginning…

In the beginning…

Well, this is the first “actual” post on this blog, so I guess it entails talking about my current circumstances. What a story to start off on too!

First and foremost, I have been attending college for the past 2 years, acquiring quite the hefty debt with the Ontario Student Loan people, so far I owe about 14,000$. In itself, that is a pretty intense amount to owe anyone at any one point in time. Without going into a lengthy rant, I always thought going to school was like paying the government and corporations in surplus work value once I graduate… I don’t see why I pay for it. Invest in your people, and they will in turn invest in you.

I was taking Television and New Media Production in college, until the second semester of this year. The TV industry is soon going to capsize under the weight of technology. You see, the TV industry used to be a high end technological service… unfortunately, the people running the industry are naturally apt to exploiting the status quo, rather then digging for bigger and better ways to do things, and so companies who are exploring these ways to deliver content to the user in different and creative ways are soon going to overtake it. That is why I dropped the program in year 2 second semester.

I have no regrets about it either, I learned a lot about myself while I was here, and more importantly, I learned a lot about how to put together a production professionally. This learning experience is something I’m going to carry throughout my life, and I’ll be damned if I’m not going to put the skills to good use.

Not only have I learned a lot about myself from my time within the College walls, but I also met a ton of new people, whom in turn also helped me learn a lot more about myself. For example, I used to be the most trusting person… Not anymore. xD

The most notable of stories amongst many that helped with that development involves a girl I was “seeing” for about a month or so. . . The other night, Loyalist College had its last official pub night of the year, and of course I was there. I left with a friend, to go chill at her place and smoke some bongs. While we were chillin’, I get a call from this girl asking if she can grab some weed from me…

Basically I tell her, no, I’m not home, sorry. After hanging up, I go back to just chillin’ and whatever… So I leave her house around 2am, and I start walking home from this girls place… On the way back, I call up my roommates to ask them to keep the door open for me (or something along those lines, I was pretty drunk), only to be surprised by what would be my bed to lay in for the next couple days.

When my roommates, Jalessa, answers the phone, she’s like

“Tyrone, did you tell Tasha to come here?” Right off the bat, I know I told her I wasn’t home so I was like

“No, I told her I wasn’t home.”

“Well, she was here with these three dudes. They just walked into the house, me and Amber were in our rooms, and I heard something so I went to check, and there they were. The one guy had your change jar in his hand.”

At this point, I’m thinking ‘What a bunch of idiots, so drunk they couldn’t tell I said I wasn’t home.’

“Tyrone, how much money was in your change jar?” I thought about it for a second, and recalled the moment I left before the bar. There was a stack of bills equalling between 120-150$ standing vertically inside of the jar, and a pile of 60$ or so sitting horizontally on top of the vertical stack. I had taken the top horizontal stack, leaving the bottom vertical one.

“There should be between 120-150$ in there or so, why?”

“Tyrone, there’s only 20$ in there.”

At that exact moment I started freaking out… see, here’s the thing… This is April, my lease is up this month for where I’m living, and I’m moving back to Cornwall come May 1st. Now, I’m going to debrief you about my monetary situation…

This is hardly enough to be comfortable.

Inner Power is what I named my Savings account, and Curb Your Enthusiasm is what I named my checking account. The Safety Cushion is my Mutual Fund investments (sweet, currently I’m up .05%!).

Now that you can plainly see the world I’m facing monetarily, understand that I need a place within a few weeks, and I need to pay first and last months rent. If I’m looking at 2 roommates, that’s a 3 bedroom place. Both my sister and I have been looking for a place on kijiji and most 3 bedrooms are about 750$ a month. That would require 500$ from me on May 1st. That dips my amount to 189$, and that’s the minimum I might have to pay.

On top of this, I’ve got a cell phone which needs 20$ a month, making that 169$ very soon. I’ve got to purchase some kind of sustenance between now and then as well, as I barely have any food to eat for the month… 100$!

To be fair, I have a job for the rest of the month, but I get 2 shifts a week, so it’s not much supplementation. Ultimately, I’m sure I’ll be able to get by, but I was much more well prepared for any adverse circumstances only a week ago.

This is my current situation, what I’m looking at in terms of money and drama… enjoy it or not, I’ll holla atcha later! LOL

Oh, and here’s a sweet melody for you to groove to today:

Cheers,

Tyrone Lamoureux

Rebirth!!!

This blog is about to undergo a rebirth! It is becoming partly a social experiment, and partly a way for me to monitor myself and my habits. In a sense, you might even say I am testing the idea that making things public and honest can lead to more potent end results. It is for that reason that I am forcibly adhering to upkeep all three devices involved with this experiment at least twice a week, preferably once a day.

The three devices involved with this experiment are two blogs (visit: http://oneryt.blogspot.com) and a physical journal of sorts. There are multiple facets of challenge that I am opposed by, giving purpose to each device. The number one purpose of this blog, is to get out the personal/sociable parts of my life onto paper, with complete accountability, finances specifically included.

One of my weaknesses, is the ability to finance myself appropriately. For some reason, I have a feeling that this isn’t just the case with me, but with a lot of people in North America in general.

Moving forward with this blog, I will be setting short term achievable goals which work with my everyday life, as well as long term developmentally based goals, such as a video camera, a studio microphone set up, a car… things that help one extend their realm of influence and the reach of their abilities.

I’m not posting this blog simply to show off my achievements, or to boast about my life, nor for the simple reason of helping apply a rigidity to my goals, but mostly for the idea that anyone who may stumble across this blog who sees what I’m doing may be inspired by the idea and it will positively effect them or others surrounding them.

The spirit of this project stands under the light of the African philosophy of “Ubuntu” which, in it’s most simple form, can be expressed as “I am, because we are.” This is a philosophy of the future.

I type my full name underneath this line to comply with my terms:
