Major Lazer

What you know about that Major Lazer?

Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984. The US military rescued him and repurposed experimental lazers as prosthetic limbs. Since then Major Lazer has been a hired renegade soldier for a rogue government operating in secrecy underneath the watch of M5 and the CIA. His cover is that of a dancehall night club owner from Trinidad and he enlisted the help of long-time allies and uber-producers, Diplo and Switch, to produce his first LP. His true mission is to protect the world from the dark forces of evil that live just under the surface of a civilized society. He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard, and has a rocket powered skateboard.

Mind: the part of a person responsible for thought, feelings, and intention

"Let’s innovate, create and stimulate minds." This line was written by the lovely and talented A. Willoughby.

This was an excerpt from a poem she wrote entitled "....this one needs no intro...". I found myself reading the poem repeatedly trying to imagine how she would say each line. Her poem has a powerful message but it yearns to be performed by her. When she performs a piece it comes to life. I am eagerly waiting for the day when I can hear her perform "....this one needs no intro...".

Yet, even without a performance the phrase "Let’s innovate, create and stimulate minds." speaks volumes to me. Further dissection of the phrase reveals the power of these words.

innovate: to begin or introduce something new.
create: to be the cause of
stimulate : to excite or invigorate

I look forward to the day when I can innovate, create and stimulate minds with someone....

Relationship: a romantic or passionate attachment

Browsing through my email inbox I came across a conversation that I was having with a very good friend, whom I refer to as my younger brother. It's odd that I call him my younger brother because at times he has an understanding of life, light years, beyond my own comprehension.

Within the message he had given me some sound advice pertaining to relationships. He said " i'd rather have a strained relationship than one where i have to hide."

But sometimes is it better not knowing and just stay quiet....?
Needless to say I did not take his advice and I am left wondering, what if....

Sassy: Lively and spirited; jaunty.

The second Korean film for me to watch is entitled My Sassy Girl. Which is the perfect name for this movie! I thoroughly enjoyed this film and must admit I did get a little misty eyed. I've always been a fan of romantic comedies. According to Wikipedia this is based on a ture story. This film far exceeded my expectations. I feel as if I should have saved this for last. If you have not watched this movie I highly recommend it and Jeon Ji-hyun is pretty easy on the eyes too. >________<*

Cosmopolitan : having wide international sophistication

I have a friend who is a cosmopolitan in every essence of the word. Although I have known of her for quite some time, we have only become friends within the past few months. Within these few months I have learned her taste in film and music is extremely diverse. I have never met someone quite like her. Someone who likes The Boondocks (Animated series) but favorite movie is Chungking Express. Someone who will tell me how much she digs the new Jay Z -D.O.A then tell me to listen to her new song of the week/month, La Roux - Bulletproof. She is the type of person I like to surround myself with. Individuals like her allow me to experience new things and expand my mind through their influence.

Although I am musically diverse, the knowledge I possess on films outside the US is extremely limited. She jokingly made a comment a couple of days ago, after I expressed my enjoyment in a foreign film she suggested, saying "You need to see more foreign films. Snakes on a plane aign't gonna cut if you want to be my friend." Although she meant it in jest, I took it as a challenge. I do need to expand my horizons and experience more of what the world has to offer in the film industry.

I have started a small mission to seek out foreign films that are new to me. I am starting with Korean movies because my appreciation of the movie The Host is what prompted the comment from her. I have picked out eight movies to watch that include various themes. The movies are:
1. My Sassy Girl
2. JSA (Joint Security Area)
3. TaeGukGi (The Brotherhood of War)
4. 2009: Lost Memories
5. IL Mare
6. My Tutor Friend
7. Ditto

Here's to my new friend though you may not know it. You have affected my life in a positive way.

Jay-Z - D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) (Live At 2009 BET Awards)

So, I missed the BET Awards. I was out drinking with some friends but I'm sure they will repeat it a million times. This is the only performance I cared to see anyway. This is the sickest, realest, dopest hip hop track to be put out all year so far.
