Media and Mauritius

i had an awesome day yesterday...
it seems like everything is getting on a nice way this week...
on leaving the university i saw a fire in a sugar cane field
it was pretty far from where i was but there was quite a bunch of smoke that was in the air
and i gotta say that i was quite impressed...
it made me think of all the disasters and calamities that we see on TV
9/11, forest-fires in Southern-America, Terrorist attacks and so on
i think that we people who don't see it or never experience such thing
it seems like the TV show HEROES is pretty cool in the sense that it explores this phobia of the end and some probable invasion by 'the other' (peeps with abilities)
we can just not estimate how disastrous and what kind of impact it might be having
physically, psychologically, financially and all the blablabla
and it made me also think that the media through which we see all of these events have a role
in the way we think.
i mean, nowadays, i don't know if people still dare watching the evening news on the local TV
loads of households now have satellite TV and internet
but most of these channels are convey much of a westernized point of view
i'm pointing at anyone here but i can't understand that what's happening in middle east or eastern countries are just facts and figures
i recall 9/11, how the whole world was seeing the images live
while some were feeling so crushed about the events
some other we rejoicing, burning flags...
they just don't get it... it's not about Nation... it's about human lives
it's stunning how some British news company make such a fuss about the intervention of their troops in Iraq and how "glorious" these soldiers are
i mean, being in the army ain't a baby's stuff, but we all know the vestige wars....
moreover, every magazine about this part of the world give the impression that they actually just leave these person who are in great difficulties with their own fate
and then there's always a bunch of idealists who think that they can change the world
and they try god damn hard, but never succeed...
why?
because they don't have any consequent back up in whatever way
living in a country where people, even the so-called "elite" is being conditionned not to think and to be passive
it's hard to take a stand
in class today, there was a "discussion" about intelligence and stupidity
the conversation got much better in class when my lecturer had a good point about people who sooner or later will have to take their own fate in these dumb hands
i mean, there is not much political continuity in here
and all of these guys just come up to fill their pockets and leave to their street in London...
and most of the youngster just leave the country, hoping that the grass in more green elsewhere
Australia, Canada, Ireland, sometimes UK and so on...
but what about Mauritius?

Mohicans

exit the DeNiro style....

Driving the streets of New York and trying to save some who don't want to be saved... neh...
i mean no offense to Martin (Scorcesse)...

quick thought

quick thoughts about today's world
i get the feeling that we are back in the 19th century where in europe people were feeling lost about their world; this feeling of powerlessness of their lack of contribution to their world. this weird sensation that after so many european wars (but still today warship is still being hailed), there is not much space to be on earth.
well it makes me think that these persons had a brain, a certain awareness and most of all geniuses1! Goethe, Baudelaire and so on...
nowadays we're left with stupidity and those who ain't well...you can't swim against the tide.
even in the 20th century, there was a rock era, a Hippie era, a Rap era, a Metal era...
but happened next after these guys from Seattle came up with this whole new revolutions? i'm here refering to Kurt Cobain and Nirvana!!!
even Dave Grohl lost that punch!! but Foo Fighters is awesome though!!!
and what about Dave Mustain... i no longer feel his frustration from being kicked out of Metallica in his Music
and Dream Theater was my rescue wheel.... untill i realized they didn't do much after Train of Thought
here in Mauritius, you always see the same person stiving hard to maintain and promote this damn huge bunch of culture we have
i mean, artistically speaking, the first novel of the southern hemisphere was from a mauritian in 1802.
and young people here are just so dumb and this lack of involvement has to end.
Marx said "Prolétaires, levez-vous!"
maybe we should all wake up in here!

first post

ah.. here we go
Quatre-Bornes, Mauritius. 16:10 according to my Q&Q black watch on my left wrist
this is the first post of my blog
what is a blog? hell i don't know
i'm just too damn lazy to google it
why having a blog? why not!!!
i mean since lately the days to come will be a serious occasion of intense autoanalysis,
i thought that this might be the perfect chance to jot down some of my fucking weird ideas that i i have all the time
maybe also that writing in english would be cool
damn shit, i read on some blogs that some people might actually do browse blogs randomly
so maybe i should introduce myself
hi, i'm genetik.master
20 years old
living actually in beau-bassin (well basically that's my hometown but i do wander around until i find a place to settle for good...if possible)
i study french at the university of mauritius
work as a research assistant with one of the most coolest boss ever
day-dreams a lot
and i'm a Nerd (thank you Chana)
why a nerd? or maybe what is a nerd...
i tend to think that answering this question by the following equation is appropriate:
x = a > b
where x is the nerd
a is the nerd's IQ
b is the nerd's body weight
i'm not good in algebra but it's quite an easy one
there nothing bad in being a nerd... it just that you do something that most people around you don't do... you think and you have an urge to have a culture.
why that? well i think that in my past life... there was a particular event that had a consequent impact on me
while randomly browsing an old encyclopedia from 1982 that i had at home, i felt on an article on science which said "science is knowledge... and knowledge is power"
and i think that everyone wants, in some kinda of way to have power, in whatever form it might be and this was perhaps the first event that activated my brain (which was asleep for 16 years)
but unfortunately i was bad in science in middle and high school... i fell in love with art an especially literature which enabled me in some way to structure myself, my own personality, my atheism and my constant urge to find a way to existance now
gosh how these days were like...wow... constant battle to be alive...
funny though... i should have been listening to Britney Spears and cry it all out on an altar in front of god and wait for him to act...
but....beeep... ain't like... it's my way on the highway...
reading a good book on atheism by Michel Onfray
more to come on the blog
peace out......
