Where have I gone?

So, it is apparent that I haven't posted anything insightful in quite some time. I have been producing music for fun and uploading the songs on the interweb! But, I have learned some things about my instincts.

Modern Media: Sex Sells

Here is the verdict, attractive women suffer from self esteem issues, young adult males are spewing with hormones, teenage girls have the sex drive of a cat in heat.
This is modern society.

Why is it that over the past fifty years, sex drive has progressively affected younger people? Let me answer that with another question: how easy is it to access sexual content today?

Cellular phones, television, music, movies, magazines, books, comics, junk mail, newspapers, and computers, can contain sexual content. Have you ever heard of the term “Sex Sells"? This is used by advertisement creators when designing ads directed toward men.

Dating Sites
I recently saw an E-Harmony ad in which a supposed husband and wife begin to make out, and then the old guy chimes in and talks about the lasting marriages E-Harmony creates. Why do I need two people passionately kissing to advertise that E-Harmony is the dating site to go to?

Food Adverts
Why would a self conscious, low self esteemic model eat a greasy cheese burger? No. Would you (young male) eat a burger that a beautiful woman was eating? Kind of silly if you think about it. “I'm going to eat a burger because a scandalously dressed woman is."

Now you may be asking me, “Lucas, how do I protect myself from the sex filled advertisements?" Frankly, move to a place where even the U.S. government can't find you. We are surrounded by visual and subliminal sexual messages. It is nearly impossible to avoid the “Sex Sells" of our visual society. The only way to stay away from these adverts is to watch pre-80's shows and movies... on Netflix.

Identical, Identify, Identity

Hetain Patel developed this theory over many years of self development and it can apply to all of us.

Modern Media: Moral Desensitization

I am not in the "Now"

    The communication levels in teens have dropped significantly since 1990. Why 1990 you say? The invention of the cellular telephone.

Language 101... More or less...

    Did you know that the only thing that isn't genetically passed from parent to child, is the accent? Provokes some thinking. I myself, have always had a problem of mocking, or impersonating accents (I even lost a job because of it, it's a long story). I can analyse accents and dialects, and am able to tell the origin of said accent.
    So, I got to thinking how the American accent came about. As many of you know, the American broke away from the "Crown" seeking independence. Of course, ethnic and vocal independence. I noticed that there were some similarities with the Irish accent, using the "r's." I'll give an example of our dialects, here is a sentence, "The general saw a dog." The American accent would pronounce it like this (phonetically), "Thee gehnerahl saw aee dohg." The English would pronounce it (somewhat) like this, "Thee gehnuhruhl sawr aee dawg." If you are unable to depict the phonetic spelling, watch British television, 'nough said. The English accent has other "side effects." When pronouncing "saw," they add an "r" sound at the end, making it sound like, "sawr." Any "ah" or "aw" sounds, they sometimes add the "r" sound. With some words they even altered the spelling to fit their accent, namely, "arse."
    So this made me think, because every language has a different "rendition" of the english language, the pronunciation must be different. In my studies of the Russian language, I noticed they didn't have the letter "j," pronunciation-wise. To spell out "Jones" in Russian, you have to spell it "d-zh-oh-n-s." In German "w" is "v" like "Voltwagon" is "Voltsvagon."
    So to wrap things up, what I'm getting at is that because the English, Germans, and Russians speak the English language differently, doesn't mean they think the same of us, speaking their language!

Imminent WWIII? Maybe...

I've had a theory of WWIII for some time now. It's kind of a conspiracy (sort of), well here it is:


     In the first "Great Depression" FDR use his "New Deal" as a way to improve the morale of the American people, but it was ineffective in bring the economy up, but it was in fact WWII that brought it up. What happened? Well you know the saying, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"? Well with what was happening in Europe, we had to help somehow, and we eventually did. Pearl Harbor was attacked, destroying many ships, and many more lives. We needed workers and fast. We finally had jobs. We rebuilt the Navy in record time surprising the Japanese, the news passed onto the Germans and they declared war on the US thus starting WWII. Now my theory is: to get out of our recession (soon to be depression) we must start a World War. This will create more jobs.
      Now, you might be asking yourself, "how did more jobs bring us out of the depression?" Well, the more jobs, the more tax payers inputting money into the economy bringing up the national debt. Nowadays the problem is outsourcing because it is cheaper... But that's a whole other topic.
