I have found new respect for R Kelly.
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the worlds greatest
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the worlds greatest

ours
Took the high dive into your brain
And you made your lonely calls
You just might wear your welcome out
If you don’t let it go
There’s nothing that you couldn’t say
Cuz you’ve said it all before
I think it’s time you walked this lonely road
all on your own
It’s your cold day in the sun
Looks like your bleeding heart has already won
I wish I could take it away
And save you from yourself
You get so lost inside your head Like no one
else Are you looking for someone to blame?
Did you blame me all along?
You’ll take the heat
But you would never take the fall
And you made your lonely calls
You just might wear your welcome out
If you don’t let it go
There’s nothing that you couldn’t say
Cuz you’ve said it all before
I think it’s time you walked this lonely road
all on your own
It’s your cold day in the sun
Looks like your bleeding heart has already won
I wish I could take it away
And save you from yourself
You get so lost inside your head Like no one
else Are you looking for someone to blame?
Did you blame me all along?
You’ll take the heat
But you would never take the fall

'power to the lonely, power to the polaroid'
It was a wonder in its time: A camera that spat out photos that developed themselves in a few minutes as you watched. You got to see them where and when you took them, not a week later when the prints came back from the drugstore.
But in a day when nearly every cellphone has a digital camera in it, “instant” photography long ago stopped being instant enough for most people. So today, the inevitable end of an era came: Polaroid is getting out of the Polaroid business.
The company, which stopped making instant cameras for consumers a year ago and for commercial use a year before that, said today that as soon as it had enough instant film manufactured to last it through 2009, it would stop making that, too. Three plants that make large-format instant film will close by the end of the quarter, and two that make consumer film packets will be shut by the end of the year, Bloomberg News reports.
The company, which will concentrate on digital cameras and printers, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2001 and was acquired by a private investment company in 2005. It started in 1937 making polarized lenses for scientific and military applications, and introduced its first instant camera in 1948.
The Lede remembers fondly how magical it was to watch the image gradually manifest itself from the chemical murk right there in your hand. But truth be told, the Lede’s own scuffed Polaroid SX-70 camera, which used to get regular use in all manner of situations, from producing a quick step-by-step primer on how to do the Ickey Shuffle to documenting a problem with a house he was buying that cropped up the day before the closing, hasn’t come out of its cabinet drawer in years.
Loyal users take heart, though — Polaroid said it would happily license the technology to other manufacturers should they want to go on supplying the niche market with film after 2009.

muss in your face
blood brothers
Yesterday we went for a stroll amongst what is fast becoming an area to "live East die young". Small turkish restaurants are being taken over and made in to hipster clubs for the new art school blueprint, the fresh out of small town, whole lot of attitude, pattern mixing, full of shit first years. Our home is fast becoming a joke, the old men pubs we once drank in are now karaoke bars buzzing with every momentary trend. If you blink you will miss it, yeah you blinked, did you not see that super sweet kid with the patent pink nike airs on?, and his pvc peaked new era? Whats that? your a hardcore kid but you wear a fur coat? sure thing.
We just want a productive space, something to feed off, not breed off. we got tattooed, and made our way home. (future tense) "all a man can do is build a vision, and i love my man for trying"
