Bliss
Aug/100
How you ever not bled through all the million jagged pieces left to pity wasn’t a mystery.
Even painted what others had time gray out and harden.
Time spent with you played the heavens marry in melody.
Not long did I know that we both are just staging our own unfolding tragedies.
Since you’ve came, you brought courage, heart, music and halved the pain into my life.
This is why I find you beautiful.
I love you because I need you.
You know this is for you.
You’re a story I want to tell; a life worth told.
Review: Beats by Dre Studio
Jul/100
There are a handful of things in this world worth experiencing: buttered corn, mind-blowing sex, skydiving and even everyday things like a successful trip the toilet. The universe being black and white, there are also entities such as cancer, scientology, Lindsay Lohan and unscheduled bowel movements that we best avoid or hope never to be acquainted with. This review is about a play in one of the most powerful forces in mankind –music and how you’ll never hear it the same way again with the Studio Beats by Dre.

I occasionally run into people who title themselves “audiophiles”. A quick online search for the definition of audiophile gives the definition of “A person with an interest in high fidelity sound reproduction and its associated technology.”. If you ask me if I’m one, then it would be a quick no for two reasons:
1. It’s dangerously close to sounding like the term used for someone who an interest in sexual pursuit with children.
2. It’s a self acclaimed, aka narcissistic synonym for “refined douchebag”.
![IMG_8581_2 [50%]](http://urithium.net/isamu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_8581_250.jpg "IMG_8581_2 [50%]")
The great debate here is that fidelity CAN be subjective if being realistic. The people who coin themselves ‘audiophiles’ go to as much trouble as to use gadgets that mimic human hearing to gauge quality. This simply does not work as mere technical details should not account for anyone using the same product as ultimately, quality is in taste.
In the entirety of this review I won’t be using fancy shmancy charts which are no help to the regular consumer or just about anyone (99% of my good readers, the remaining 1% are “the anals”). Looking at numbers and figures does not define anything because at the end of the day it’s simply a good product or a bad product.
How good does it sound?
The Beats are active noise isolating. Active actually means that you have to turn them on, which means that these headphones require batteries. I have been using them for a week now and the batteries are fine but I’m expecting them to last just about a week more due to constant use. Going back –it does ‘fine’ isolating noise. Pressing on the right ‘b’ button mutes noise isolation and music so you may talk to people without removing the headphones. Noise isolation is really a nice touch because it allows you to immerse further in your music. Very handy as in some cases some of my songs felt like ‘walk-in music’ –imagine walking into a place with the right song playing at the right exact time… it really happens a lot with the Beats.
Do these cans sound good? Yes they do. If there’s one thing that’s always lacking in your run-of-the-mill headphones, that’s one thing it boasts… sometimes excessively of —bass. Treble is outstanding as well. Reading this won’t do it any justice –think of the best sound system you’ve heard recently. This can be a high-definition cinema or a club –the experience is taking that and keeping it for personal hearing! Bass is insanely generous, R&B tracks sound and are reproduced with much clarity. Treble is crisp and allows for "instrument separation”, allowing you to isolate and distinguish individual instruments used in the track.
![IMG_8580_2 [50%]](http://urithium.net/isamu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_8580_250.jpg "IMG_8580_2 [50%]")
Just how much clarity are we talking about? You can actually notice the vocalist pausing to breathe. Any better than that would give you an idea of the humidity in the singer’s mouth as popularly noted in ridiculously expensive electromagnetic speakers.
Aesthetics and comfort?
The Beats look badass great whether you get in white or black. I went with white Beats as I’ve tested the black pair and its very prone to fingerprint trails. Comfort is TOP NOTCH. Easily the best that my oversized head has ever welcomed. Rests nicely and doesn’t give you as much fatigue as it doesn’t grip your ears viciously to tire you into often breaks.
The box and what comes with it?
Packaging is classy. It came in a well sealed glossy box with an Apple’esque design. In one side reads Dr. Dre with:
"People aren’t hearing all the music.
Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound. But people can’t really hear it with normal headphones. Most headphones can’t handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line, the music doesn’t move you.
With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear, and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do."
![IMG_8577_2 [50%]](http://urithium.net/isamu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_8577_250.jpg "IMG_8577_2 [50%]")
Included in the box are the headphones, obviously. The Beats fold up to fit in a ‘semi-hard’ carrying case with a very cool ‘b’ logo in the middle, a nice touch for headphones at this price level. It comes with two wires: a regular red wire that’s conveniently tangle free and what monster calls an iSoniTalk wire for use with iPhones. Additionally they threw in wipes to polish off smudges, not really an issue for white Beats.
Should I buy it?
No, you shouldn’t. If headphones were cars…..:
- The earphones that come with iPods are your low end commuter cars (Cherry QQs, Kia Prides, whatever). They’re insanely cheap that people package them for free, in analogy, these cars are often grand prizes of small time raffles. They do mediocre with their job but drive them too long and they’ll eventually break down and potentially kill you —again in analogy, did you know iPod earphones are known to deafen people?
- SkullCandy (which are HORRIBLE) is your Civic. Made for ‘tweens’ with prolonged puberty issues, carrying on a wannabe raceboy attitude. They aren’t any good, in fact most of the time aren’t any better than any generic headphones you can buy at any given store. They look nice enough to slap teenage pretentiousness but with the end result of no one taking you any seriously in your chosen preference for it or future preference in cars or headphones.
- Sennheiser, Bose and similar brands are your BMW, Audi and generally mid-luxury brands. They are highly respected and always deliver good quality output. Any higher brands would fall under the Ferrari-Lamborghini level, these aren’t for the weekday consumer and I would assume that the 1% (‘anal’ readers) to take better interest in cans of this make.
So what are the Beats? The Studio Beats is a black BMW 7 series limousine in black sporty rims with Toyota commissioned to do make the interior. It’s coveted as 7 series cars go and always taken seriously because of the executive feel with a dash of youth. Toyota you ask? The build quality can be better. For headphones of this price you’d expect only the best and yet many owners have reports of ………snapping.
![IMG_8584_2 [50%]](http://urithium.net/isamu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_8584_250.jpg "IMG_8584_2 [50%]")
For $350 online or 22,000PHP locally, I would only recommend that you buy them if you’re into expensive wine. Like wine, any other headphones would do for your music fix, but expensive wine like the Beats will give you a different quench along with a sense of pride in being eccentric and staggeringly the complete opposite of frugal in your gadget investments. Sadly, like expensive wine, someday you’ll eventually drink it down and retire the bottle to invest in a new pair of cans in a few years.
![IMG_8582_2 [50%]](http://urithium.net/isamu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_8582_250.jpg "IMG_8582_2 [50%]")
Don’t buy them, they’re that good… seriously!

i wanna know what it’s like to not be addicted to anything
because for as far back as i remember
i remember you were my last obsession
i don’t fucking like society always peeking into my life
the rules they enforce are not for people like me
for people like me fuck around and commit stupid shit
who the fuck are they to force me to live within their ways?
not everyone was born the same way
you and i sadly aren’t the same, but made to be like the same
i can be insane and you have no right to make me who i am
i am who i think i am for i do of a man who thinks this way
if i wanted to be like you, you would not have granted me this
this the same free will you grant yourself in favor of
i’m going to break away from you like you’ve died
this is my suicide to you
my sanity’s goodbye
i have to break apart who i am
to let anew in
hello friends i’ve been reborn
out of blood seething from the surface of my brain
pumped heavily by a strong heart
i’ve joined the party called reality
when there’s everything to forgive
then there’s always something to let go
but significantly, more to take in
You’re like.. “omg is this for me?” and I’m like.. “..k”
Jun/100
You’re a gone habit, that sweet obsession I inhaled too much.
while you stay here with me in these moments, I count the seconds.
Because I wanna know how long I’ve put off real air,
the time will tell me how long I’ve been gone.
Then you walk away right back where we started,
someday I’ll be back as someone else.
As high as you like it.
I haven’t changed, I simply became more of who I really am.

you give me new york, when it was sneaky back then.
the smooth jazz, the crisp bass and the purple ambiance.
chicago, you blessed my fedora.
for when i’m not being careful when i go hiking with the pack.
woodstock you gave the celebration to the music.
the smoke grew red into the sky.
for once it was with earth of green,
it has turned into a strong hue for a passion of free love.
new york might has well given me buble.
chicago did good with fall out boy.
the earth amplified the vibrations.
you are music.
you are the beatings, the bad, strange, hopeless beatings.
of a heart getting stronger by the day.
you are the echo of many summers in a time of innocence.
you are the love of life. every color not imagined that could easily be what colors we can never see.
because we were given this much, the purpose of life then becomes:
“what we’re doing to make the most”.
i was never the same again.
hey iqs! sup eq?

you know what smart people are?
smart people are consistent. that’s their best trait. they have discipline and control over everything.
but they aren’t real.. no one exists having control of all things.
you know what God’s children are?
God’s children can feel. they have born out of purity which then emotions are stemmed out of.
emotions are real, they cannot lie. they take most out of the punishment in life because they’re able to absolutely forgive.
that stuff is love.
your soul is made out of your smarts and love. you can’t always have either alone at any time, but when you’re shaping your life, you’re going to have to choose which one of that you’re going to put into stronger action. most of the time that means you’re using more of your smarts than of your love to make decisions.
but you still get saved anyway, it’s the perfect Plan.
you are still forgiven of everything, even if you’ve left your life elsewhere, because the Perfect plan somehow was designed like that: so you’ll have a little consideration of God every time.
whatever you do you are loved. you are forgiven then of everything; everything, you’ve done. when you forgive, you love. when you love, you forgive.
God is forgiveness, God is love as well.. that’s what children of God are, but you cannot understand them.
because the Plan is perfect, you can always dip into the devil’s pool and fly your own plane.
the perfect one you will love forever would have crashed many times. because to be taking control of your own life is taxing, it’s a rebellion to God, to love. by submitting to rebel, you have then been conquered.
but when you dry up, when you start seeing clearly again.. love takes over.
our Creator is perfect, because he played our existence perfectly.. in a Tekken bout versus the devil.
we would have been submitted if we went by our free will, which is why it would be understand why some people are dumber than others. they simply perceive a simpler, more purified view of our world, because once we started to ask ourselves what we are made of, we have lost faith as we worry about our trivial existence. we lead so many complicated lives to be in love. the more you need to understand what something is, you then start to question what everything else is made out of, which gets you to question if somebody really made all this possible, or if this was just a whole coincidence.
which is why money doesn’t matter. you don’t take it after the fight. you don’t need it.
money corrupts people. it makes them greedy knowing they should have spent it all in this lifetime. which is why money gives birth to technology. you can never be a charitable case of absolution. the thing is with charity is that no matter how much you give, you still keep some to yourself to still be in excess.
to be smart, you are then giving more attention to only one part of your life –your human existence. to be really smart, you should have then realized what love really is and start loving more than you hate. you are then acknowledging that you are then considering your friendship to go over your mortal lifetime. love never dies.. see.
which is why it’s good to be dumb sometimes. it’s better to have not known everything if you can do it all again. because then, you cannot hate something you cannot understand. we would be hating less if more of us just stopped knowing too much. you, by default then, give love by majority. don’t ever call someone stupid because they know a lot too less, no, that means they love a lot too more.
kids are stupid, but you’ve never been told someone in a more sincere way, of how much they really love you. to fall in love is to be stupid, to submit to another. don’t look at the people who chose to be stupid about love that bad please. that just means, they’ve embraced their excitement for the next part of their lives, as now, they’re already settling with someone else, they truly love to want to be together after this lifetime. because to love someone means making them a part of you, to carry on after the end of your temporary existence.
when You love, you see not only one, but you see everything else, to make that decision. that’s absolution, that’s the Plan.
you know what’s funny? you don’t love and take away, that stuff is forever. you don’t “unlove” someone, that’s impossible, you just grow cold and indifferent. what truly loving someone means is that you’re always able to jump back and forgive, be always jumping back into love. love is Him, it’s the main Plan. once you accept Him as your savior just once, you show at one point of your this life, that you truly love Him. it’s the same with everyone else you ever came close with.
dogs are stupid, because they love every person they see. no matter if they’re chasing them, biting them and generally giving them a hard time. they do not know what they’re doing, all they know is that they’re celebrating your existence with you in their own dance.
which is why maybe we should learn more from wolves. maybe we’re learning from their danger to us.
when you meet someone, you’re using your perception of your world because of your smarts to see them. if you’re not able to see a part of them lets your guard down and lets the love flow in, that’s when you turn your hardened heart on to feel. you use less of your better judgment and just see in purity. you are then made stupid.
God then is stupid. (in my context), Who would forgive us a million times? if i am to love people truly, if i am to really shape up to his original model of Himself to my figure? if i want others to feel me, i would love them more. so it’s okay to be stupid only when you’re stupid about love. because you then would need to know less, trusting more, which is then how love is really stoned. you are stoned when you’re in love.
God is a stoner.
don’t ever say you don’t love someone if you’re able to forgive them readily. don’t ever say you love someone in another way if you can’t forgive them readily all the time. don’t ever get married to someone with whom you cannot get over with, because then, you don’t love a part of them, you, you didn’t forgive a mistake they made. you cannot see them as they want you to see them.
getting over someone is forgiving them, for everything.
God’s over us. He doesn’t have a need to be ringing or reminding us that He does. He can stay in total transparency, maybe you’ll look for Him or not, but those enlightened do. God isn’t a nosey, pretentious ex-girlfriend. God’s over us, He’s done watching movies with us. for then He loved us once, he then loved us forever. that’s how you truly love someone.
as Our diety, He is forever.
this is how I love you all.
God gave you wisdom for you to see Him, for you to see the world as you see fit. the world isn’t doing good right now, we need more love back. it’ll all end when the bout is nearing to the devil’s favor. God is omnipotent though, he has Action Replay man. so that’s not considered cheating.
God wins, all the time. The devil always loses in Tekken.
Jah bless, bitches.

it’s because all of this makes me less animated.
it makes me more real.
more real than drawn fiction would have me see. a few months before this writing.
you know what I think? whenever you buy a another hard drive in the future you should always buy the model that’s at least twice the size of what you already have. transfer your files to that new hard drive. voila. you just secured yourself the years of data loss prevention which is equivalent to the years in gap it took to replace.
i don’t know what i should give up… a better sense of the people around me, or the better understanding of the world i live in.
oh such bliss!
May/100
you know what the best feeling in the world is?
it’s not being loved. that’s something we often take for granted.
but being cried about because that’s when you really find out the truth.
just how much loved were you.
A few thoughts
May/100
I believe in artificial technology.
IT people are part of the smarter bunch in our world. Let me paint a picture of that which I call “our world”. Our world is bending away from a lot of things the bible originally told us should be. I don’t think it was ever a battle of science vs. faith, I would blame the mother of science –logic. Hell even I’ve been using my introspects based on logic to be able to imagine it in this opinion.
Logic; just everything we do stems from it. Even how we created computers reflect our unconscious perception of the very universe. Maybe in another world—or relatively, another dimension, we might perceive more or less sided arguments to an understanding; this is a level of perception that’s not even in a sane manner to us. This is the nth dimension.
This is the architecture of our very perceivable and yet logical existence. There’s always only two sides to things –ultimately. In the same respects on winning a lottery with a 0.0000001% chance to jackpot –the real elements of a possibility are only ever two conclusions to this case.. it’s either winning or not winning. As you can see, I did not relate winning to losing, as they’re totally different arguments. Logic can perceive that the result of winning as only relative to a clause, if the end result is – “I did not win, because I lost.”. This proves a sequence in our universe and life itself.
A sequence is imaginable and that’s only one way to see things as if it were imaginably tangent to the zillions of possibilities.
We also have to note how random life is because it is in our perception, we can perceive the impossible. The reason to why life seems unfair to most of us is because we need to always have two existences of things. There is the dead and there is the alive. Everything is a conflict between black and white. Having said that life is unfair and being with birds of the same feather, you therefore isolate your scope within our whole network of this existence in this world of this dimension.
There are six billion people out there, there are the rich and the poor; these are the same people who never seem to meet with each other. You cannot compromise between two elements, just see the sequence as it is and occasionally dip in the devil’s pool to be able to fully realize it.
We’re always on an ever growing network, what we are able to imagine –they all interconnect.
Logic recreates the deity of God as best explained by science, but faith is all about trust and that means never needing to know more.
Maybe the world is getting smarter! Why? because you can’t exactly study your old college books and expect to apply the same principles, you are only taught the knowledge of your generation. The world seems to be this way as we are all embracing technology as it made itself cheaper for everyone to join our big share in all possible interconnects.
I’m not a computer genius, I was just a baby born of technology. It seems to be where the natural flow is heading lately.
IT people are one of the smartest possible group of people I know. We are the group that flows with change, embracing life’s logic and acceptance of things. Geeks do not read their old computer college books, doing so would be out of novelty and not of any reference to current standards. If rarely for reference however, a reference of change. If you do not allow change itself to move you, you will go nowhere. There are so many rules to life.
That’s how you achieve real happiness. See life in so many colors, never really following a sequence involuntarily. When everyone has left you behind, you can only see so much. You’re happy when you see differently, because that only entails to you… a new understanding. You are happy because you are and were given purpose in your existence.
People never die, they just don’t share eras.
Angels fall and devils die, but they spawn again automatically as different players in another game.
We all are scientists.
Where is the faith?
Infinity can be realized simply because it is imaginable.
Therefore, nothing really is ever impossible.
It’s all in your head. It’s what you can take in and be open for.
How much wisdom can you digest?
Just use your head a little differently.
Everybody can change, but not in this lifetime, you are a realized self of you as you see it right now. From time to time though, you can be someone else. In the end, no one ever really leaves, just reincarnated. It’s a sequence of an infinite number of random events on our world. You better get wet sometimes, it’s the only way to know how dry you really are.
I believe in artificial technology.
We are becoming robots, some unrealized.
Oh, at least half of us.
It’s a rule.
Can you.fucking.dig.me.people?
