AVIAL - Live Performance

These are some snaps i took from the live performance by alternative Malayali rock band AVIAL

The show was just awesome and They really rock hard.It’s true that the lyrics of many songs featured in the band’s debut album ‘AVIAL’ reflects on a deep sense of eternal timeless awareness, there is a good chance that the global listener relates to the album simply because its musically sound. With elements of Indie rock and folk, embedded in each of the eight songs featured in the first album, Avial has managed to mix to perfection and share with its listeners an altogether unique sound, what the band members calls “alternative Malayali rock”.

No edits done to all the snaps….!!…..except cropping and adding a signature…..!!

Hope you guys like it and i really appreciate ur feedback….!!

Best wishes AVIAL …… U Guys ROCK HARD…..!!…..:)

Prologue: Reason

“It’s because I have an important friend.”

“Is that so…?”

Riku placed a hand on her shoulder.

“In that case, think about it. You really should return to your original self.”

He left. Xion was left to ponder. Would it REALLY be better? What were the benefits? She created another gateway and slipped through it, wondering where to go and what to do. It was pitch black but she managed to locate the correct exit to Castle Oblivion. She stood at the entrance staring blankly into space.

“You’re really came back, huh, Xion (Shion)?”

“Axel (Akuseru)! Please, no!”

 “I’m gonna bring you back in, conscious or not.”

 “I’m good at returning favours, Axel.”

 “Ahaha… That’s funny, but, I don’t think so.”

…

 It was a long fight because of all the dodging and misses from both Axel and Xion, but finally, when Xion was struck by surprise, she blacked out. Then some few worlds away, a girl woke up in cold sweat, screaming.

————————————————————————————————————————————————Ah, wasn’t that a nice prologue? Do you wanna know what happens next? Good, because… I have the next chapter in-progress, in my computer right now!!! I promise to update soon!!! PEACE XD! Akakozuka Phoenix XV ~

Surfacing

So I’ve really not been ok. I don’t think I realized how far under the water I was until I started to surface recently. I don’t know how I mistook the murky deep for light or air. All I know is that I didn’t know how bad I was feeling until I started feeling better. Depression is tricky that way. It’s like the frog who doesn’t feel the water getting hotter as he starts to boil because it’s been happening so gradually.

Thankfully I have found a good nurse practitioner who recognized the need to up my medication. Every once in a while I’ll have these flashes of hope and light, and their existence is quite a surprise to me. That buoyant feeling means its working!

My new therapist reminded me that in the past six months I have moved across the country, left my job, left my girlfriends, AND my sister died. So a little depression really shouldn’t be surprising me–or a cause to panic. I LOVE her. People think you have to be crazy to go to a therapist. I say I’d be CRAZY not to see one. She helps me realize that I am quite sane.

So, I’ll be here, trudging along–skipping occasionally–and working my way up out of the water.

Dawn of Understanding

I think I might be beginning to understand the new covenant which Jesus came to make. In Matthew 5:17-18 he said 

“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.”

This quite explicitly states that Jesus neither releases us from the Law, nor will anything else until the earth is done. This the reason that I was wondering about Christians following the OT Law. What I see now is that Jesus’ fulfilment of the the Law changed it. In verse 38-39 Jesus goes on to say

“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for and eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.”

It is through Jesus’ sacrifice that the other can be forgiven. The Law states statutory punishments for each breach, very often death. It is that punishment which Jesus took for us. Instead of the sinner being put to death, he has taken their punishment upon himself; taken the responsibility for my sins. The Law is still the same and the punishment is still the same; the difference is that we no longer bare the burden of the punishment ourselves.

This means we must forgive, for justice has already been done. 

It will take a few more days to get my head around this fully, but I think I am finally beginning to understand.

Free ClipArt Book Covers

In a recent discussion group the issue of free clip art as cover art. The first warning is that free is not necessarily free in the commercial use world. Free comes in many forms. Free to use “for personal use only”, Royalty free for private use and then royalty free - public domain. Even the latter has its limitations sometimes. There are many deviations of free that it typically isn’t for what you wanted it to be. The solution is to create, have created or purchase original artwork for your book’s cover art.

Look at the artist who created the poster of Obama that became very popular, so popular that the publishing company that ran the original photo is threatening legal action, however for the artist, the photographer appears to given indication of approval and did not a contract with the publisher of ownership of his or her work.

Who owns what? Is it free to use as an artist, profit, personal or professional? The answer remains the same, if it was not yours originally, then chances are its owned by somebody who knows a lawyer.

Protect yourself first. I prefer to reference photos, then work from sketches for cover designs.

Obama was right, the "Catastrophe" is unfolding

In reading the European and Canadian newspapers this “crisis” is starting to snowball.

I wondered why George Bush used the words “depression greater than the great Depression” and Obama used the word “catastrophe”.

When orders for heavy trucks fall from 38,000 in a month to 600 in a span of 10 months you know there is a major problem.  Steel suppliers and other components are dropping business by 50% and Europe is not looking financially well off at all.

The problem with the main stream media is that they only concentrate on what is happening in the USA, but these numbers in Europe will have a devastating effect on the US economy as well.

The Presidents have advisers and sources of information most of the people are not interested in or aware of.  That is why they are pushing these “bail out” packages so hard, even if they won’t solve anything, they feel frustrated being powerless as the world’s social fabric is at risk.

For all the girls on a budget who love elegance, Lemania’s Hunt is going to be THE place to stock up on elegant gowns, from evening to cocktail. This little number has me shouting “CIGAR?CIGARETTE?” Cajsa totally has a tray that dispenses drinks and cigarettes in long holders……I should’ve worn!

This is a complete outfit which includes the shoes but not the jewelry which is by the irrepressible Callie Cline.  Some of my favorite big cocktail jewelry, the Divine Gems were a natural fit with this retro look cocktail dress.

Sorrows Heard Here

There is no end of sorrows in this life.  Sorrow comes to the good, and to the evil.  We all suffer through our own individual hells from time to time.  And eventually, the sorrow wanes and gladness returns. 

If you are hurt, it will pass.  You might seem alone, but you are not.  You have at least four who care: The Lord, Jesus (Yeshua), the Holy Spirit, and this writer.  I care that you weep.  I care for your tears, and my heart reaches out to your pain.

All about yourself Part 2

Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look there. - Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

Pride - When you respect yourself others will respect you. Take pride in your individuality. - Unknown

Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself. Be yourself. Imitation is suicide. - Marva Collins

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. - Jim Rohn

If you can attain repose and calm, believe that you have seized happiness. - Julie-Jeanne-Eleonore de Lespinasse

Responsibility

101 words about Style

The New Style was pending…at first it waited in a relaxed manner expecting any day to enliven a trend - to finally splash a page - then to be ooohed and ahhhed about, and taken to fancy dinners, complaining its right hand had cramped from signing the inevitable autographs…but this soon got old; the waiting.

The new style thought it ironic that it was already becoming passé…days before a debut…

Suddenly kliegs and floods dazzled blindingly, and a cameraman was shouting “Rolling!” And the New Style that was pending became the next big thing - teased, ruffled and puffed like a rag dolls anxiety.

DICK DURBIN: Barack Obama Convention Introduction Speech

Gaza.....

Gaza…

One day you will be free again

of all the cruelties of invaders and occupiers

you have seen it many times

like Baghdad

like Kabul

like Kashmir

like sarajevo

invaded by monsters

hungry of hidden wealth

thirsty of innocent human blood

trampling the life

killing the innocence

creating more monsters

to engulf themselves

they came and went

leaving stories of their tyranny

on stained walls

but the cities are still here

Baghdad still breathes

Kabul still dawns

Kashmir still flows

You too will spring back

one day

when world will read

about your sacrifices

and will wonder why

six billion claimers of humanity

could not stop few thousand killers of children

who kept this world a hostage for years

but with moist eyes

you will smile at their questions

standing up

green and flourshing

oozing freedom

not very far

one day…………

( InshAllah!)

I’ll Sacrifice for You

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 1 John 3:16

Sacrifice. We know love because of sacrifice. Is that what comes to mind when you say “I love you.” If you inserted sacrifice for in place of love would it be true?

I was thinking about this recently as it relates to my wife. I’ll be honest. I married my wife because I enjoyed being with her. We had a blast and I was extremely attracted to her. I loved being around her and when I said I loved her that was really what I meant.

But that isn’t good enough. My commitment as a Christian isn’t simply to stay with my wife because I enjoy her company or even that I find her attractive. In the end the commitment I made to her says I will sacrifice for her, I love her.

That is the commitment that pushes me threw when things aren’t going well, when I don’t enjoy being around her because those times come.

I have to ask myself, am I sacrificing for her. I often find that I’m not, that I’ve gotten a little self-absorbed in our relationship. I’ve thought more about what she gives to me then what I give to her.

I am forced to ask myself if I am meeting her needs, sacrificing on her behalf.

What would happen in our relationships if we heard in I love you, I sacrifice for you?
