Where is the Love?

I love this song. Even if the Black Eyed Peas have their ups and downs, they're still a good group cuz they demonstrate that music isn't always about hate and lust and sex, and that there's some stuff out there that's alot more important, and still some people that care about it. You have to really listen to the song, there's alot of meaning to it, and you can tell that BEP are people that DO care.

What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA
the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?

It just ain't the same all ways have changed

New days are strange is the world the insane?

If love and peace so strong

Why are there pieces of love that don't belong

Nations dropping bombs

Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones

With ongoing suffering

As the youth die young

So ask yourself is the loving really strong?

So I can ask myself really what is going wrong

With this world that we living in

People keep on giving in

Makin wrong decisions

Only visions of them livin and

Not respecting each other

Deny thy brother

The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover

The truth is kept secret

Swept under the rug

If you never know truth

Then you never know love

Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)

Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)

Where's the love y'all?

People killing people dying

Children hurtin you hear them crying

Can practice what you preach

Would you turn the other cheek?

Father father father help us

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me got me questioning

Where is the love?

ਹਉ ਵਾਰੀਆ ਹਰਿ ਵਾਰੀਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ

I am a sacrifice, I am a sacrifice to You. 1Pause

ਸੁਣਿ ਸੁਣਿ ਪੰਥੁ ਡਰਾਉ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਭੈਹਾਰੀਆ ॥

Continually hearing of the terrifying path, I am so afraid.

ਮੈ ਤਕੀ ਓਟ ਸੰਤਾਹ ਲੇਹੁ ਉਬਾਰੀਆ ॥੨॥

I have sought the Protection of the Saints; please, save me! 2

ਮੋਹਨ ਲਾਲ ਅਨੂਪ ਸਰਬ ਸਾਧਾਰੀਆ ॥

The Fascinating and Beauteous Beloved is the Giver of support to all.

ਗੁਰ ਨਿਵਿ ਨਿਵਿ ਲਾਗਉ ਪਾਇ ਦੇਹੁ ਦਿਖਾਰੀਆ ॥੩॥

I bow low and fall at the Feet of the Guru; if only I could see the Lord! 3

Since every blogger these days seems to also have a flickr account, I made one too!! I took Communications Technology this past semester, and one of our projects was to create a photo portfolio. My pictures aren't great, but I thought I'd put them up for everyone else to see, just to see what other ppl might think.

Check em out here:

The first time I heard this song I was amazed. Just listen, you'll know what I mean.

You can buy the album and listen to more tracks here: www.mus1k.com

The Lord of the Rings!! That's got to be one of the greatest films ever made, and most certainly my favourite. It's got an amazingly mystic and medieval-ish storyline (that credit goes to Tolkien, who himself was an incredible story-teller), and it really seems to take you back to a time of heroism and courage and all that stuff. It's awesome. At the same time there's so much innocence to it - like the little hobbits (I love those guys), and how they show that even the littlest of people can show so much strength, how they can change the world... and there's so much wisdom to it too, and it's such an awesome movie that I could really just go on about it but words just don't do it justice - especially my words, that just sound like something a nerdish and fanatic fan would say :).

But seriously, it's a great movie.

Anyways, since I haven't posted anything for a while, I just had this urge to post something LOTR-related. So I tracked down a quote from the movie that I kinda liked - but you have to watch the movie for it to have much meaning, cuz the performance put on by the actors was AWESOME...

anyways, here it is: ^_^

PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way.

GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.

PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?

GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.

GANDALF: No. No, it isn't

My computer just crashed the other day and I'm forced to use my sister's laptop. It's wierd but ever since the computer crashed I feel like I've lost a very old friend. I've been feeling almost... sad. o_O

Just goes to show how dependant some of us have become on technology...

Okay, how dependant I've become. -_-

Out. :)
