Journal #1 One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Inside the pages of "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" is one of the most foul issues our society faces today, fraud. Are McMurphy's deceitful actions exusable? Or is there a malfuntion inside of his soul that would drive him to do the things that he does.

McMurphy pretends to be insaned to escape the harsh condition of his prison work camp. Is this morally acceptable? Would you fake a mental illness to get away from the physical pain and mental breakdown that a prison work camp offers? It's a question that no one could asnwer until they had actually been through similar experience.

I believe that his morals are true. He honestly believed that he may die if he were to work another day in that camp. That is definatley a justified reason for commiting a felony. People could agrue this till the end of time and there would still be no resolve. But, I would strongly consider putting yourself in the position of McMurphy before judging his actions. McMurphy comes off as being a rude and disrespectful person. This is a result of he prision sentence. "You have to be tough to stay alive in there" he states at one point in the novel. His actions are not accepted but they are understood.

Super power

If I could have any super power it would be the power to obtain gratuitous amounts of knowledge. In this century we have no way of retaining all the information that we are bombarded with with 24/7. If I was able to remember all the things I see and hear every day I would gain more wisdom in a day than most people do in a lifetime. With that super power I would become president and have a ball pit in my bedroom.

"Secret & Whisper: The Great White Whale" --->Review

A rare quality in an industry swarming with regurgitation. If you ever have the opportunity to meet Secret and Whisper of Kelowna B.C. they will tell you what motivates them: not hair, jeans, girls, belts, lifestyle, or sales. But making unique music that they love, for no other reason than the music itself. So rare that a band is in the industry for a reason as innocent as the music. If you are in to the hardcore scene at all I can guarantee you will love the catchy chorus's and melodic breakdowns. Like Hardcore but don't like the screaming? There is no screaming on this album. They have managed to take a genre so indulged in screamo and trade hard hitting Ear bleeding screams for melodic and meaningful lyrics.

The boy's formally from Stutterfly excluding Charles Furney(vocals) are no strangers to pioneering a genre in a scene that regurgitates the same songs over and over again. This album has a mastered mix from being recorded in a professional studio in Kelowna B.C. This is not a cheap demo CD, but rather a fully fledged LP. The bass thumps the bottom while to the melodic lead guitar riffs float along side the beautiful lyrics.

This is one album worth getting.
