Rookie Initiation Games

decaffeinated and cholesterol and yet

Disperse ideas within a society is something unhealthy, that at this point I know by heart both interested in and disperse those who are interested because they do not, some tend to base their criteria on assumptions like the French Revolution would never have existed if they had not previously been incendiary and unconventional writers as Diderot, Voltaire or Sade, of course by that time distributing them through of the books was a slow process and who knows if as effective as some would believe, with the advent of the twentieth century and the mass media things get a bit more dangerous to the established system and situations like Tiananmen or showed Tlatelolco the way frontal suppress counterproductive.
It found no better way to sabotage the ideas to create a simulation of them, that while filling the needs of the individual parameters to be set against taxes, not allowing the same out of control, and what more importantly, that individual while it was still a consumer machine, even when consuming products other than those chosen by the general mass, which did not want to feel part, this is a process that quietly and rather subversive way, if you include the term, has been repeated constantly in all the movements that threaten to be protest over recent decades.
For my part, and to keep the tone of speaking is always a bit of rock and the same literature, I take as an example just two situations related to them, the Rock, as we know, was born with a serious mark of rebellion, and the emergence of the Hippie movement and opposition to the Vietnam War had left a bad taste in the 60's, so that when it appears Glam Metal alarms were not slow to ignite, as the story was a 1.973 14 February that formed one of the flagship bands: Twisted Sister, an unconventional, that it was only 1.979 for the first time managed to record a vinyl 45 rpm, the I'll Never Grow Up, Now! , which, despite the success of their live performances, recording only able to fund themselves, this single also opened the doors of any record in the U.S., so it ended up traveling to the UK, where until April '82 seal Secret Records Punk music they recorded the Ep Ruff Cutts: What You Do not Know , with four tracks, and on September 18 finally released their first album, entitled Under The Blade ,
1.984 In the video appears Stay Hungry, which contained two themes that excite the gender and adolescents at the time, We're Not Gonna Take It Rock and I'wanna , same, with subsequent versions Lp, became cult in them was more than obvious rebellion against teachers, parents and every symbol of the repression imposed by the system, that attitude Musical Resource Center Parent , formed and led by wives of senators, considered unhealthy to society, as in 1.985, the list included within the The Fifteen Lyrics filthiest, Dee Snider being one of the few metalheads who showed his face for the genre, appearing to testify before the Senate committee on 19 1.985 September, where he made a serious defense of the metal, but the field was ready, the Glam Metal, with bands like Dokken (1.978) or WASP (1.982), was a threat to morality.

When you start the 80's this music started to be a reference for all young people, it is then that a new stream, which is commonly known as Pop Metal or Hair Metal, which is not simply the Glam Metal in its light version and created mainly in advertising agencies and not in a garage as it was traditional in Heavy Metal, within this paradigm can name as the band Motley Crue Helter Skelter which Ep (1.984) is not bad, and 1.981 for April had released its first demo, released in May and re making single in less than a month, and by December the same year he released his first album under the title Too Fast For Love , undoubtedly fast word was not in vain, just as they took in 1.983 album Shout At The Devil one was going to be a flirtation with evil, but that basically was nothing more than that, a mere flirtation and a very successful way of doing marketing alternative that attracts consumers unconventional work that the two manager, McGhee and Thaler, knew how to do very well.
In itself that the distance from the original motion, is the transmutation of ideals, because in essence the Glam was a genre born of the desire for rebellion, while the Hair Metal was born from the basic desire to make money and have a reputation, which is very obvious in the subject, because of overnight letters of the bands ceased to be an invitation to question the reality of this society and became a simple invitation, a little wild if you will, to consume recklessly, something as long as I rebel rebel consume items, artists exploit the spectrum Hollywood and the world of porn stars so to achieve the desired fame, creating entirely imaginary fans banal, which is not bad, yet can not be called a movement that was honest and rebellious, like many unfamiliar with the genre they do today, call it something that ultimately more than a factor of rebellion became a fad, whose unforgettable hairstyles to Tina Turner used, it is not entirely consistent with reality.
His steps were followed by bands that came also to be very successful both media and economically including Poison (1,983), Cinderella (1.986) and Winger (1.986), the latter in turn were also a band for girls well behaved, although not as important in relation to other groups of its kind, poor advertising agency selection undoubtedly.

Older, but also more current, is the process in the literature, the media being less and have a more complex process of assimilation, has led a longer period of consolidation within society, books were always a space from which the author manages to be questioned about themselves and their environment, as a metaphor or a reflection, something that is not always comfortable for small groups who decide the fate of the majority.
Even as the authors are themselves a small group, trying, often flooding the literary argument, since the texts encourage these small objections that generate the big changes that are intended to make our world if not an entirely fair to least one more floor, clear that there are these two trends, which thinks the act of writing as a mere aesthetic issue and those who might otherwise arise from the ethical point, namely as an individual's need to generate an intellectual implosion within society that houses it, or contains.
At this point you can make a purely arbitrary choice, for my part I propose to Sartre, Camus and Orwell, and a short list of basic books: The Nausea (1.938) Wall (1.939) Abroad (1.942), La Peste (1.947) and 1984 (1.948), allowing us to see the individual and its environment from an alternate perspective, analyze, without the passion of the ideas pre-installed in our minds from childhood, a life that has no purpose and that we do not have an explanation filled with useless objects and ideals that we justify on the one hand and on the other exempt us from the daily fear of death, without noticing we hold and we are justified by people who are with us, we want to achieve goals, ideas that haunt us all in a nutshell is simply that our refusal to accept tacitly that we are simply superfluous existence and inconsequential in an absurd universe.
The characters of the first four books are a window through the passage of other mortals, without showing any feelings, which warn against an everyday without a specific purpose, rather than the mechanical reaction of individuals towards collective impulses respond custom and not the individual reason, it is perhaps in La Peste in which deeper comes analysis of this community, lost in their smallest instances, to go slowly disintegrating as the plague wipes out the inhabitants of the city of Oran, the man then responds to different conditions to the social, stripping in her self innermost and elementary, it is not always the most humane and most logical, showing us how deadly reality powerless against burning, painful, absurd and yet whose background is in turn an existentialist view of the phenomenon of life and face nothing by private characters of the concepts that fill a void beyond the perpetuity of this nothingness.
George Orwell on the other hand, isolated existentialism touting the two previous authors, in his novel 1984 gives concrete shape to the absurdity of everyday life and decides to invade individual's social or socialized, that of an omnipresent state, one that tells you how to dress, eat, what to think and say, holding him under control 24 hours a day and constantly altering their levels of thinking, to impose agree that the system in order to keep society within the limits of sanity purposes relevant to their drivers.
These works greatly changed or shaped the society of the century that saw them appear, in many cases were censored, as happened in the year 1.948 when Catholic church vows to put all the books of Sartre in the Indexing Librorum Prohibitorum , list of works banned by the church and unwise for his faithful, but as we know the banning of books is counter-productive because ironically leads to a general question from the audience, firing the sales of these, which greatly expanded existentialism, expected to generate strong as the revolution of 68 in France, of which Sartre was an unwavering castigator.

The company lego weapon like a confusing day in which play is more varied interests, forms of domination within civilization, as capitalism has been started if not as able at least as a hegemonic ideal, have been changing, becoming more transparent, having no better shape than the alteration of the offer, this in literary field has been quite an adventure, because it has been shaped in such a way that does not allow room for differences, creating a whole network of transnational literary intellectual fluctuating daily handling of the moment, creating a totally light circuit authors that ranging from fast food to novel self-help book, two very fashionable literary trends today and the sign of which is essential not just talk about absolutely nothing we have a perfect world in which we are imperfect only by not accepting what it is and for not being efficient in the process to dock with their schemes, simply cancel the intellectual inner self that reads an inner self but is insubstantial, selling the panacea that makes us interesting read, but avoid at all costs that the act of reading is born a reflection that can be disturbing for the individual and those around you.
speak of a selected author and publisher who knowingly accepts the guidelines in this regard to what to write and how to do, to change the editorial is presented as the most brilliant example of his literary generation in huge ads and organizing promotional tours long and tedious, yes, the author must be aware that an individual happens to be recyclable, as if the circulation is not sold in a period of six months, the books are collected and recycled to make the literary promise of next season, so it has been a monopoly of letters, both in the editorial direction and in the distribution, with large supermarkets of books, leaving behind those small publishers who were concerned to see their works possess such absurd things like ideas and those little bookstores where we could find a book that although he had been released 20 years ago, was still, dusty, waiting in a dark corner, make a list of these authors would lead, just go to one of these supermarkets of books, see the poster in the window or wait for one of its subsidiaries, which certainly did not know absolutely no literature, approaches and candidly ask that if you read the latest release of ...

not necessarily all made in music or literature advertising agency is bad, but beyond that the quality exists or not, must focus on the fact that they are created in order to build in our subconscious a concept if not faked at least domesticated of reality, this being a subtle way dominate the individual without, in theory, violate his right to decide, artificially altering its selection options in the market, replacing the original and deep by other superfluous and banal, but which apparently are the ones that attach to your sense of choice, the end is not bad to be consumerist, evil is to be and believe that you are not ...

Clariol Born Blonde Toner



How are inconsequential events in the history of the existence of a man of letters much that strive to make your best attempt, the first thing that comes to my mind as I reflect on Salman Rushdie, who today announced he has been given Booker prize, special edition 40th anniversary of the delivery of the award, for his novel Sons Of Midnight , a distinction that had already received 15 years ago, apparently the husband of Padma Lakshmi luck topmodel smiles again, who knows if peace do so in secret late nights. And if I come this idea is because undoubtedly the world Salman Rushdie came to him in pieces that 1.989 February 14, when a group of angry fundamentalists in the voice of their leader's famous Fatwa issued in decreed that his immediate death penalty for blasphemy, because according to them the novel The Satanic Verses was an affront to their beliefs, many people, like his Japanese translator Hitoshi Igarashi, they really killed the author in turn was forced to move from overnight to loneliness, anonymity and an apparent silence imposed by the persecution, staying for a long time under the aegis of the United Kingdom authorities. Definitely
your inner self could not silence or fear, because two years later appeared a new work of his Haroun and the Sea of \u200b\u200bStories , all this must be a devastating impact in the scheme by which he raised life, their daily undoubtedly ended opaque barrier of indescribable tension Today however, saw the notes about the award and the author, in his biography that schism does not occupy more than two lines, so simple, in the history of literature who knows if you arrive at least half of one. also worth thinking about the environment, that which The Satanic Verses were only a slight premonition, a turning point on what the prosecution began to our world since the fall of the Berlin Wall was expected all those outdated ways of thinking left behind, no one thought of fundamentalisms, political and religious revive harder and new techniques en diversos bandos, nadie pensó en que a una artista se le montaría un juicio moral porque se le rompía el vestido o las brutales protestas por unas caricaturas aparecidas en un diario Belga, cosas de similar estilo se van gestando poco a poco en nuestras sociedades y en las ajenas, nos acosa silenciosamente el serio intento de que el oscurantismo de nuevo caye nuestras palabras y ahogue nuestras ideas, con monstruosas amenazas de guerras apocalípticas, hemos perdido esa confianza y ese sentido de que la libertad era plenamente nuestra, en el fondo quizá esa sea una perdida más lamentable que el hecho de pensar en lo intrascendentes que como individuos podemos llegar a ser dentro de la historia de una masa que se esmera por sobresalir.
