]]> ~negative-infinity If you fav my stuff, read this! http://negative-infinity.deviantart.com/journal/17708776/ http://negative-infinity.deviantart.com/journal/17708776/ Sun, 06 Apr 2008 02:23:45 PDT
Reason:

Clicking the fav button - or that collection thingie - is similar to stating "I do like this work". Well, that's cool. It gives me some feedback and I appreciate the fav. But it is just a click and a total no-brainer. If there was a "Thank-You" button, I'd click it in return. But there is no such thing.

But from now on, unless you take the time to elaborate on why you like this specific work of mine, dont expect me to take the time to say thank you for it. Talk to me and I talk to you. Otherwise, you can simply assume, that I do appreciate the click and that's it.

You probably have your reasons for not taking the time to further comment on the work. Whatever reason you might have, it is perfectly fine with me. You dont have to.

Thanks for the fav!

Cheers!

Just to make it clear: this is a joke!

I guess everybody knows the mindless favers who just fav things because its from popular people. and i guess everyone has received one comment that simply says that your work or maybe even you is great, but not why. lets face it: constructive commenting is rare on dA (which is why us germans have a group that encourages it (*realcritique).

Well, after being frustrated with dA yesterday and after getting just another fav without a comment, I had this funky idea to have a automated commenting and faving system for all these mindless people here. Now, a day later, i am quite amazed at how many ppl actually believe this was a serious suggestion.

]]> ~negative-infinity This place is a bore ... http://negative-infinity.deviantart.com/journal/17059736/ http://negative-infinity.deviantart.com/journal/17059736/ Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:15:27 PST To say it with B.B. King "The thrill is gone" and I might wanna add "for a long time now".

I cannot remember when was the last time I spent time to discover new artists. I got 6003 deviations waiting in my message center. I rarely bother to look at them and if I do, it is because I like the ppl who posted.

Same goes for the groups I'm in. I dont care anymore. Forums? After 4 years they get incredibly repetitious. So why am I still here? Answer is, I dunno.

When i joined dA in Jan 04, I was excited to showcase my .. yes.. lets call it art .. given the trash galleries that was, are and will ever be on dA. I dont think my stuff is anywhere near the few top-notch artists dA does have, but I'd also like to think my stuff got better with time.

But apparently no one is interested in anything but "Coffee Love" and "Sushi" and that is a bit frustrating, especially since those faving those dont comment on it. Instead they copy it to photobucket, myspace and their silly blogs, like it was free stock. I'm not even mentioning the torrent and the wallpaper sites Coffee Love is in/on without proper attribution.

Well, I never expected to become famous here, but then again, I expected something. I dunno what exactly, but its prolly along the lines of having more responses than 829 - half of which i did myself by saying thank you - comments in 4 years. After all, this is the supposedly biggest art site on the web.
And its along the lines of not having my better and more tedious work get ignored, while a spontaneous oh-so-cute shot of a powder heart I learned to loathe is spread through the web by stupid kids incapable of at least attributing me properly.
And its along the lines of being in a nice place, a social community instead of being with mute people, clueless teenagers and the green diseased company that dA has turned into.

Well.. to get this to an end.. Im fed up with this place. It didnt live up to my expectations and so I might as well leave here soon.

Piclens is a plugin that works with the major picture sites and can display all images on those sites in a 3d browser. usually i am sceptic about 3d stuff in the browser, but after checking out my gallery with the plugin for firefox installed i was convinced. now i no longer have to see ugly reserved ad spaces and can see any gallery as an almost full screen slideshow.

guess what.. thats fine. unlike the copyright fanatics in the ripping forum, i am very easy going about art "theft", recognizing that in most cases, it is just peoples desire to pass on what somehow appeals to them. it doesnt hurt anyone to have my work in some blog post and tbh, i appreciate if ppl like my work enough to share it.

this is why i submit most of my work under a creative commons license. i did that long before deviant art considered including CCs for deviations (in fact, i even suggested it once or twice but got turned down).

so, usually this means you can use my work as long as you attribute me and do not use the image commercially (if you do Ill sue you). furthermore, if ppl ask nicely, i even very rarely mind if someone uses even those images that are not licensed under a CC. thats generous, isnt it?

however, it angers me when those very little things I ask for are not met. not only is it disrespectful, but its also taking away my time. i dont want to track you down and write an email to you. i dont even want to write a journal for it.

so for all you ppl that want to use my work:

1. Read the license attached to the deviation, stick to it and you are all set!
2. If its not a CC license, contact me and ask if you can use the image.

easy as that.

The story of both movies is shallow to non-existent, with Death Proof obsoleting the stories of all but one character in the first half through their deaths. That came as a surprise, but it didnt make the movie less enjoyable. In fact, I found it hilariously funny. The scene is a total jaw dropper. The second half of the movie is more or less the same than the first half, just now the new female characters take the upper hand.

Death Proof is violent and bloody, fast cars and whisky, tits and asses... the sound of the cars is pure purrrrr.. and dont expect meaningful dialogues... but all that comes packaged and polished with a good sense of self-irony and it just got the "tough-and-cool" attitude right.

Planet Terror on the other hand, is first and foremost a splatter flick with zombies (tho they are not zombies in the undead sense). It is fully loaded with action too and there are many elements in it that are totally absurd and comic-esque. all of that looks good and expectedly disgusting. but it wasnt humorous or cool. where deathproof managed to get it right, planet terror failed, despite the enjoyable cast and the very well done special fx. i wouldnt call planet terror a bad movie, but i also wouldnt call it entertaining.

my main issue with planet terror - or for the matter of fact any zombie splatter flick (with the notable exception of braindead) - is probably the lack of sufficient gore. you read right: lack.
in deathproof, gore is used scarcely and when its used, it will make you go OMG.. that is sufficient.. it is quality. But in Planet Terror, gore is a key element and you will get used to it very quickly. after 15 minutes you wont have any OMG moments anymore, leaving you with no story, nor well developed characters.. just endless slaughtering of zombies with lots of different weapons. and that is just plain boring, even if its done with a railgun mounted on a leg stump of an otherwise hot chick.

so, thumbs up for deathproof but yawn for planet terror. i guess, once youve seen the guy from braindead wading through a sea of blood and guts with a lawnmower strapped in front of him, splattering his way through an undead zombie horde with blood pumped at five gallons per second to rescue his love from the clutches of his very own mother that turned into a naked 20 foot zombie with saggy boobs, there isnt much to get from the zombie genre anymore.

so, the management noticed that video sites are all the rage, so now dA gets the youtube treatment. and of course, they do it for us.. the artists. right now, that section isnt filled with too much stuff and that what is in there looks ok.. now..

it will be interesting to see how dA will prevent people from uploading their random cellphone crap and copyrighted material like music videos, anime clips and the likes. and it will be fun to see their outcries, when the first "artistic nude" videos appear. horray for boobies and schlongs!

and to quote [link]
"Music and movie creation is a recognized and respected artform. However, due to the nature of how our site runs, and the requirements and legal issues surrounding the hosting of music and movies, we do not have plans to add either to the list of currently submitable artwork."

given that any requests for an audio section on dA have always been turned down with that reason that dA is a graphic arts site and for the reasons quoted above, i am very curious how they will argue against a music section now.

well, to sum it up in one word: whatever!

Seit Wochen terrorisieren Sie mich mit immer neuen angeblichen Bedrohungszenarien und fordern ach so realistische PrÃ¤ventionsmaÃnahmen, die massive Eingriffe nicht nur in unser Grundgesetz, sondern auch in meine persÃ¶nliche Freiheit nach sich ziehen wÃ¼rden.
AntiTerror Datei, Online Durchsuchung, VideoÃ¼berwachung, Rasterfahndung, KonvertitenÃ¼berwachung, Bundeswehr im Inneren.. und legitimieren wollen Sie das alles, wegen der massiven Nuklearterrorgefahr in Deutschland. Alles klar.

Schauen wir uns doch mal an, wie viele Menschen in Deutschland in den letzten Jahren durch terroristische AnschlÃ¤ge gestorben sind. Oh. null. Gucken wir mal StraÃenverkehr und Passivrauchen. Oh. pro Jahr 10000.

Leider funktioniert diese billige Angstmacherei bei den meisten Schafen in unserem (noch) schÃ¶nen Deutschland ja recht gut. Schnell mal ein paar grenzdebile Pseudoterroristen gefangen und schwupp! 8% mehr Zuspruch fÃ¼r weniger Freiheit. Das klappte schon immer.

Jetzt werden Sie auch noch unterstÃ¼tzt von Herrn Jung, der jÃ¼ngst verkÃ¼ndet hat, dass er auch ohne rechtliche Legitimation Flugzeuge abschiessen lassen wird. Prima. Schaffen wir doch direkt das Grundgesetz ab. Das braucht eh keiner. War ja auch naiv von mir zu glauben, dass "Rechts" in Rechtsstaat bezieht sich auf Recht.

Es reicht mir jetzt!

Die grÃ¶Ãte Bedrohung fÃ¼r Deutschland geht momentan von Ihnen aus!

Ihre Aufgabe ist es, unseren Staat zu beschÃ¼tzen - und zwar so, wie er ist: mit seinen freiheitlichen, demokratischen und verfassungsmÃ¤Ãig geschÃ¼tzen Idealen und Werten. Ein Ãberwachungsstaat, in dem alle BÃ¼rger glÃ¤sern sind und unter Generalverdacht stehen, ist kein Staat, den man beschÃ¼tzen muss - den muss man nur abschaffen.

Ich kann ja verstehen, dass man in Ihrem Job irre wird und Ã¼berall Bedrohungen sieht. Besonders wenn man selber schon Opfer von Irren wurde. Aber dann gehen Sie doch bitte in psychiatrische Behandlung und nicht ins Ministerium.

Plaudern Sie doch mit Kardinal Meisner und Eva Hermann beim netten Stammtisch in einer Kneipe in MÃ¼geln. Aber bitte! verkÃ¼nden Sie Ihren RÃ¼cktritt.. und nehmen Sie Herrn Jung gleich mit.

Apparently, the CIA did a lot of illicit things in the past, ranging from illegal wiretapping, drug testing on citizens, surveillance of journalists, data collecting about students in the anti-war movement of the time, etc.. to full blown assassination attempts of foreign country leaders - with the help of the mafia.

Full report (english):

Anyone still in doubt that being against more surveillance rights is silly? If they did this much 30 years ago, imagine what they can and prolly do today. there is no reason to believe that any secret service in the world does different.

Going to a zoo was something I wanted to do again since 1999. Ive been to some animals parks during this time, but not a real zoo. Well, what can i say.. it was cool. The zoo in Duisburg got a frigging lot of animals.. and i had enough opportunity to test my new eos 400d. I did 488 pictures, some of which you can see in my gallery now.

It really was a fun day, with tigers, lions, dolphins, koala bears, apes, penguins, elephants etc etc... let me tell ya, some animals really look totally weird. marabous for instance are ugly as hell. and some turtles have faces where you think god must have been on drugs when he created them

but i like all of them no matter what. its so fascinating to see all these facets of life.

i had to put two images in scraps cuz they didnt turn out as good as i wanted them, but im quite happy with most of the pics of today. check out the lemur. he is so funny

on the other hand, zoos make you wonder.. is a zoo a good or bad thing? the animals are held in captivity so i can pay to see them, so its kinda like animal prison? or is it actually good for them, cuz they got all the food they need, medical attention and dont get killed in the wild by whatever? most of the animals looked quite happy, but then again im not all too good at reading animal faces...

well anyway.. check my gallery and scraps!
cheers!

My musical diet in 2006 mainly consisted of Cradle of Filth, Gwar and the late Johnny Cash, with the two notable exceptions being Katie Melue and Annett Louisan, both of which I have seen live. Delightful shows btw. But this is albums picks and both havent released anything this year. Since I am not sure if I like the new CoF Release Thornography I got only two picks. Here is the winners:

1. Johnny Cash - A hundred Highways
Easily the best album for 2006 for me and already at a top spot of my all time favorite list. The album is the perfect requiem for Mr. Cash. Its dark, its touching, its silent but captivating.. its simply brilliant and its awesome. If you didnt listen to it yet, go get it. Once the strings kick in on Track 1 you are in.. im actually listening to it while im writing this.

2. Gwar - Beyond Hell
Finally a good release from your favorite Shock-Rock-Satire-Metal-Monsters-from-Outer Space. I really disliked the last two releases. They sounded generic and all-too uninspired to me and had no highlights. But the new album ROCKS! all those songs are catchy and Mr. Urungus voice is defo at its best. Its brutal! Its gross! Its silly! Its GWAR!

Cheers!

1. Im going nuts here. Renovators in this house and the house next to this house. At 6 I can hear ppl footsteps everywhere. At 7 the workers start to drill and hammer. Goes on til late afternoon. Six days a week. I havent slept properly for three weeks now. And on sundays fucking Lena keeps doing hobby hammering. How inconsiderate can someone be? I know she complained when the workers started to hammer the first time on Saturday at 7 in the morning.. and the next day she does the same.. omg.. do ppl ever think?

2. California apparently passed a law that makes sexual offenders wear GPS tracking systems for the rest of their lifes. The article I read said there is about 100.000 sexual offenders in California. Thats one hell of a lot if you ask me, but since kids get trialed for kissing other kids cheek there, its no wonder. Sexual offenders are also not allowed to live in the vicinity of schools anymore. This is in addition to the already in-use listing on public website that showcases names and adresses of trialed sexual offenders. Well, America, Land of the free, huh?
I mean, come on.. that is so expensive and ineffective. Should have asked us germans. Just put all your sexual offenders in a ghetto and let them wear an armlet... or better yet, tattoo the letters SO on their forehead. Or both... Tell your kids to stay away from the ghetto and those ppl then. Way cheaper. And if the ghetto gets too full .. ah.. just look at history books...

Die war jedenfalls in einer Disse und hat da nen Typen kennen gelernt und die haben dann wild rumgemacht. Er wollte dass sie mit zu ihm kommt, aber sie wollte nicht. Er lässt seine Nummer da, sie fährt brav zu sich nach Hause. Am nächsten Morgen hat sie im ganzen Gesicht und am Hals Pusteln. Ab zum Hautarzt und was stellt der fest: sie hat "Leichenherpes". Das bekommt man, wenn einer zuviel mit Leichen.. ne.. usw.. Jedenfalls hat der Typ ja seine Nummer bei dem Mädel gelassen und sie hat die Nummer dann der Polizei usw.. und am Ende hatte der nicht nur eine, sondern gleich zwei Leichen in der Wohnung

ROFL! mit ganz großem L

Alleine das Wort Leichenherpes war schon zu lustig um echt zu sein. Aber um ganz sicher zu gehen, bemüht man dann eben doch noch Google.. tja.. und was findet man da? Nix zum Thema Leichenherpes, aber sehr interessante Werbeangebote von großen deutschen Preisvergleichern und Auktionshäusern.

v5 looks and feels like soup to me. i really dislike the new color scheme. it lacks contrast and you have to search for navigation elementes all over the place. a button here, a link there.. some stuff has been cleaned up though, but its not enough. oh and did i mention the design looks like soup? i know some people claim less contrast is good cuz it doesnt distract from viewing "the art" but i am clearly not viewing art alone on the site. i am using my journal, comments, forum, e.g. i am doing textbased things. before v5 i was using the forums on a daily basis. since v5 i went there only once. its simply a bad experience now.

on top of that there is a quite a number of bugs that lead me to the conclusion that v5 is a rushed release. looks like the administration just wanted to show "something" for dAs bday. i mean just look at all the pages that are still in the v4 theme.

]]> ~negative-infinity A Hundred Highways, Feature and new Website http://negative-infinity.deviantart.com/journal/9406118/ http://negative-infinity.deviantart.com/journal/9406118/ Mon, 17 Jul 2006 13:45:45 PDT [link]

----------

i am still featured in =killertoothbrush's journal! so in case you didnt do it yet, go pay his site a visit.

----------

Now on to the the main reason for this journal!

I got the new Johnny Cash album "American Recordings V - A Hundred Highways". Now that I listened to it like 5o times in a row, i find the time to write about it! To put it simple: its A-W-E-S-O-M E ! ! ! !

Cash sang in the vocals after his wife June passed away and shortly before his own death. He never got to hear the final product, but producer Rick Rubin did a fantastic job at overdubbing the music using very supporting and respectful arrangements with the vocals. This is a very captivating and intense album, albeit a short one. You can clearly hear Cashs old age on some tracks, when his voice sounds very fragile but it only adds to the albums almost intimate atmosphere.

The tracks on the album are the usual mix of covers and two new songs written by Cash. All songs are dealing with what we have been presented on the first four installments of the American Recording series. Though this one has a much stronger emphasis on love and death themes.

What makes this album so special is that you get this feeling Cash is not just singing some songs but it is Cash sharing words of wisdom. As if he knew life would come to an end soon. Its his version of My Way. His very own sung Requiem. When Cash sings "Lord, Help me to walk / Another mile, just one more mile; / I'm tired of walkin' all alone." on the opening track you know he means it. You cannot do but sit in silence and listen to what follows. Cash takes you on a retrospect about his life. About how he found God, about his womanizing days, about broken relationships and about June, his wife. When you hear Cash sing the utterly kitschy "Rose of my Heart" you cannot be but touched to tears, cuz you know he means every single word. When is the last time you heard someone Cashs age sing a love song for his wife?
And then, there is death again. Songs like "Like the 309", where Cash sings about himself wanting his casket to be taken away in a train. Or Cash singing about the afterlife "Further Up on the Road" ahead. Consequently, when the final track closes and the last chord fades into silence you feel like he really is gone. As if he died strumming his guitar while he was telling you the story of his life...

Brilliant and emotionally intense album!
A very worthy final chapter and already a top spot in my all-time-favorites list of albums.

drums...

=killertoothbrush featured me in his journal!

let me cite this: "*negative-infinity has some wicked photos in his gallery that you have too see! Gordon displays a great eye for capturing the important elements in photography, picking up some awesome colours and ideas. He is certainly worth looking at!"

never ever would i have imagined such kind words ever be spoken about my photography. Im virtually speechless, although for that i babble quite a lot here

Well, Well, Well.. a capital THANK YOU goes out to =killertoothbrush

Everyone who reads this, please be so kind and pay his gallery a visit.

Jetzt heißt es also zurück zu den 6 Mio Arbeitslosen, Gesundheitsreformen, Steuererhöhungen und dem ganzen föderalistischen Elend. Aber daran hab ich mich eigentlich noch nie so wirklich gestört.

Außerdem sind wir immer noch Papst und Deutschland! Wie hätten wir da Weltmeister werden sollen? Das sind ja drei Wünsche auf einmal.. und wir alle wissen, das geht nun wirklich nicht.

In diesem Sinne

Wir sagen Danke Schön und Auf Wiedersehen, schauen Sie bald wieder rein, denn etwas Show muss sein...

~photographers is proud to announce a Behind The Lens Feature with `londonxpress. deviantART users will have the opportunity to talk to our guest and will allow you to ask questions about his techniques and thoughts in relation to photography. We hope you will have a chance to really get inside the working mindset behind those beautiful images.

When looking at `londonxpress's page you not only see the works of a fantastic photographer but also a giver to the community. `londonxpress is a landscape photographer as well as a portrait and street photographer. Even though he admits his true passion is black and white photography his color work falls nothing short of beautiful. He not only allows us to visually follow him on his journeys with his photography but provides personal and technical aspects behind each photo.

`londonxpress once said "I have started to think of photography as a serious profession down the road. Perhaps it will be as a photojournalist, perhaps as a researcher maybe simply as an artist trying to capture the beauty around me...photography has become my one true passion I cant put the camera down, and I cant stop flipping through books, magazine articles, collections etc. It truly is addictive, and it changes the way I view the world around me."

Join us in #Photographers on Sunday June 25th 4pm EST as Behind The Lens welcomes our special guest `londonxpress.

Didnt see him all too often, cuz of the distance. My thoughts are with his family right now.

Actually, there is two reasons why I am writing about this. One is, that this is the second person to die early from cardiac incarction in my family. My grandpa died from it at age 61. Guess, I should get to a doctor to check on my heart. Maybe its inherited.

The other reason, and much more important, is that I noticed how I am certain, that I will see my uncle again in the afterlife. That is actually a paradox, cuz I never was much of a believer. Im pretty sure, that when you die, you die... and thats it. But then again, I like to think, that I will see everyone that passed before me again when I die.. dunno how to explain that.. but its a a very comforting thought.

And until that.. I remember those who died.. in my heart and mind they live on..
doh.. that was kinda sentimental..

so, yeah, i saw V for Vendetta today and im amazed by it. its glorious. its brilliant. a beautiful hymn to freedom. i almost starting crying in the end because i was so touched during the unmasking scene.

in addition to further my belief in freedom and preaching against the slow but continual erosion of civil rights and privacy, the movie also delighted me visually. the whole dark atmosphere was very fitting for the (not so) utopian theme and the action scenes were well choreographed too. the climatic battle is really breath-taking. natalie portman looks great with and without hair and i really enjoyed all actors acting.

the origins of the V guy is a little bit off, but the movie is based on a comic, so I can live with it easily. and also i didnt spot any grave illogical things like i had to endure in Saw. well well... if you havent seen V for Vendetta, this is defo a must-see.

For those of you who dont know her: she is the singer of the song Stay from the Chasing Amy movie. I never understood why her band Coal didnt release any records. Stay is one of my favorite songs ever. It is so incredibly 90s-alternative-cigarettes-and-alcohol-heartbreak-i-am-so-hurt-but-i-need-you that you cant but love it - seriously.

I have looked all over the web for so long and often now, but never found anything about her or her former band Coal from L.A. - until today! Today I found [link] :woot: and although none of the songs there are as good as Stay (which you can listen on that site too) I kinda like the music. Less alternative, more Pop and slightly country Id say.. you can compare it to Hush.

Well.. happy me

but all characters did so incredibly non-plausible things. and it only gets worse now that i know who the killer is. so annoying.. there is just so many illogical things in this movie...

if you havent seen this movie: good. dont do it. its bad

Now bring me that ten thousand

the only negative thing was the stupid fucks who kept talking during the movie. they wouldnt stop besides two "shhhh"s and very audible "go home if you want to talk". i complained with the staff after the movie. this is seriously getting more and more annoying with each cinema visit.

so, if you dont know what to watch next time you are in the cinema. this one is a good choice.
