MGMT - Time To Pretend

MGMT

TIME TO PRETEND

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.

Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.

I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars.

You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

This is our decision, to live fast and die young.

We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.

Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?

Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute?

Forget about our mothers and our friends

We're fated to pretend

To pretend

We're fated to pretend

To pretend

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms

I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world

I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home

Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.

But there's really nothing, nothing we can do

Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew.

The models will have children, we'll get a divorce

We'll find some more models, everything must run its course.

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end

We were fated to pretend

To pretend

We're fated to pretend

To pretend

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

***

My dad would say;

"A boat is nothing but a hole in the water into which you pour money."

I'm going to improvise on this quote and say;

"Pale Blue Dot is nothing but a hole in space with water in it."

or...

"A carnivorous island floating on a cosmic sea."

Of course the movie "LIFE OF PI" was the inspiration for the later.

Maybe God is an obligate carnivore..?

URBAN DICTIONARY/political catalyse

Think of today's polarized political divide pretty much right down the middle 50/50. The debates are going no where because it's considered socially impolite to discuss politics/religion in a social setting; and most definitely not in a business/working environment. Now think of a chemistry experiment where you have two chemicals (Republicans and Democrats) mixed together but nothings happening. But if you mixed in a third chemical, a Progressive or a Liberal, all of a sudden you have a lively debate...?

As most people, even the Progressives and the Liberals, most definitely the Liberals, pick their battles, you may or may not get a debate started. The hardest part is getting the first two ingredients together in an environment willing for genuine discussions with genuine results.

All I hear is justifying, justifying, justifying.

Let me try using the three wise monkeys. They generally mean being of sound mind, body, and action. Set the example for others to follow. They can also mean looking the other way, refusing to acknowledge, feigning ignorance. In other words, what's the point of our first bunch of monkeys (those leaning left e.g. our Liberal Elite) taking a step in the right direction if that's as far as they are going to get with our second bunch of monkeys (those leaning right e.g. Religious Right and/or Neo-Conservative Business Interest) paying no attention to our first bunch of monkeys.

So... 

this calls for a third set of monkeys, an example of the uber significance of the number "3" in numerology, the "political catalyse": those people loaded with empathy, willing, as well as able (takes financial security), to be confrontational with humility and honesty at all times.

1. Calling out people's behavior anywhere, anytime, and letting them know it did not go unnoticed. 

2. Letting them know it was not acceptable. 

3. Not to be tolerated as long as we are able having anything to say or do about it.

John 5:30King James Version (KJV)30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

In other words,

 Anti-Christ is nothing more than W.W.J.D. today.
