Yea Or Neigh

It has been more than a year since the band Oasis has broken up well broke up as in Noel left and Liam form another band with the same name. As you all know Oasis produces music that is heavily influence by The Beatles. The band comprises of two notable figures, which are the Gallagher brothers who aren't very brotherly. Liam and Noel both are very opinionated and they bicker all the time which led to the break up. So it isn't a surprise when they called it quits.

But I always thought it won't be permanent, you know. Because they seem like the type who would argue and say that'll leave the band but after few weeks or months, they would return back. But hey what to do.

I just read in the newspaper today, about hits that never made to album. And of the songs was Acquiesce by Oasis. It is definitely a song that can sum up the aura of Oasis. The starting of it already gives you the impression of rock and roll and sends you back to a gig or a pub where you song is playing. It is definitely a great track. Both Liam and Noel show their unique vocals and they fit perfectly. I have never been a Oasis follower, I do enjoy their musics and it's too bad that they've gone their separate ways.

Maybe they would've stayed if both lowered their ego. Pshh men and egos.

Well till then, Fin.

Suicide Is Not The Answer

Hey, Roll here! It took me a while to post since I couldn't think of anything to write. You know, something matter-of-fact. But then, I came across this photo - and I thought, okay, why not talk about this?

Yes. Suicide. People committing suicide, not teddy bears. Suicide has been following men since ancient Rome. Back then, in Rome, it was thought to be a courageous act of love to your family if done to avoid disgrace or financial ruin. As time passes into a modern world, it is now an act of cowardice, a short cut for men to 'escape' when they can no longer face the world.

People commit suicide for many different reasons but all under the same emotions: depression, loneliness, sadness and hopeless. Just a few days ago, a newspaper reported 'Mum Ignores Child's Plea and Commit Suicide'. The mum brought her child to an unknown flat and straight to the highest floor. After a while, residents begin to hear the child screaming hysterically, they thought the mum wanted to bring the child with her and commit suicide. Turns out, the child was screaming and pleading for his mum not to jump. A resident came by the child and pleaded together but their pleas were ignored. The mum jumped down from the floor. It was rumoured she was under depression. Though, right now, I bet on everyone's mind is how is the child coping? I hope the child is strong enough to endure this difficult phase.

I believe all religions and beliefs state that suicide is not an option and it is not an answer. A few may fight and say it is a right for people to take their own lives. Really? By consuming poison, cutting your wrists, jumping off the highest floor - FORCING yourself to die because you feel that you can't cope with the difficulty you're facing with.

Think about it, there are those poor, hungry kids in Africa and their mums work endlessly just enough to feed them with a spoonful of rice. They don't have those comfortable chairs you're sitting on and reading this post, they don't have 3 meals a day, along with a supper that we have everyday, they don't even have a flush-down toilet...and look around you, you have everything. We don't hear news of them committing suicide because they want to live. The chances of them living the life of what we most have are slim so instead of whining and suiciding, they rather fight on and live on.

Some may reason that "I have everything but the ones I love don't love me back". To those who feel this way, listen here. Have some faith, not everyone you love is going to leave you. There are people out there who cares for you and all you know, the people that you should really care and love are standing right in front you. God won't let you be in a situation where there is no way out. Yes, it's bloody hard, you feel that the world is coming to an end - but look, the world won't stop spinning for you, time won't pause for you; so the only thing you can do is STAND UP and FIGHT IT. Don't back down by ending your life, don't end your life in such a sad, miserable way.

If you feel depress or lonely, you have to make yourself happy first. Get a box of chocolate, paint your face in bright colours, turn on a funky, happy song and start singing & dancing all by yourself in your room. When you are all better, call over some friends and just hang out and talk. Or watch a movie together. You'll be surprise at how happy you can be when YOU are happy and BEING happy with the people you love.

Suicide is not the way out. The world is so big with so many possibilities - yes, there are bad things but I believe, there are more good than bad. You're living right now, that's a thing that you should be really thankful about. A week ago, a friend's friend of mine died of leukemia - he was just 18 years old and many of his friends thought he would make it. There are so many children suffering from cancer but they are brave enough to fight it, go bald and still keep that smile on their faces.

If they can fight for their lives when their chances of survival is as thin as a sheet of paper, you should fight ten times as strong when you have everything.

The Do's & Don'ts for being a Rockstar.

Hey Fin here. This is a pretty random post because I was inspired to write this post when I saw this horrible performance on TV *shudders*. So I decided why not make a list. Right?

Here we go :

1. Do learn an instrument. I mean a rockstar who can't play is like bread without butter. I don't know why I said that. But if you're aspiring to be a rocker, take up guitar at least and start a band. And tambourine doesn't count as an instrument.

2.Be cool. Nuff said.

3. Don't be a jacksass. Cool does not mean jerk. Just because you're a famous person, does not mean you have to treat people like scum.

4. Do not ever ever ever air guitar while on stage. It's okay to air guitar if you are a die hard fan but not when you are part of the band! It just makes you look like you're spazzing on stage whilst listening to your bandmate play.

5. Do be stylish. I'm not sure how to explain this. I wish rockstars would wear nice jackets paired with normal cut jeans. But no, they have to wear tank tops and skinnies. *facepalm* And some of them are daring enough to wear feathers *shakes head*

6. The most important Do in the list is, DO BE GREAT LIVE. Seriously, what is lacking in today's performance is the actual ability to perform. Yes you can bring so many props to cover up your suckiness, but you still suck. So please, my dear rockstars, be great in live shows! That's why we are you fan, because we love your music and we want to hear it live!

It's a short list because I don't know what else to write. But this is pretty much the basics of being a good rockstar. The only reason I came up with the list was because I was pissed at a frontman who air guitared to his own song. It looked ridiculous. I am still mad.

Keep on rocking, from dearly devoted Fin.
