I Can't Eat This

Am I back with a bang?
I don’t think so.

As I have no possibilities to rip vinyls at the moment, there will be no new stuff right now.
But I will update all links, because opendrive deleted the mp3s files (or just some of ‘em, i don’t really know, yet.) I got a comment that THE ICONOCLAST files won’t work. And they are deleted. And I think it’s the same with the rest.

I don’t have the time to check that right now! Understand?

I will reup all mp3s on mediafire soon.

Hello everyone!

I just, in fact I didn’t do it “just”, decided to take a break in blogging.

Will I be back, soon?

I don’t know……………………………..

Why, oh why did I do this?

My 12-yr old daughter wanted to take a look at the so popular teenie-vampire-love-drama. So me, my wife and two of my daughters (12 and 18) decided to waste one whole evening completely:

We did watch Twilight and New Moon one after another.
As I was afraid, that both movies would bore us to death, I set up some rules:

1. No fast forward
2. Noone leaves the room before the movie is paused
3. No sleeping whatsoever
4. Noone looks at walls or ceiling instead of watching the screen
5. Audible or visible commentaries by the audience allowed

Just to calm you down: We all survived!

So I spent over 3 hours watching a pretended 17-year old girl leaving her mouth half open most of the time.
What’s supposed to look like passion, devotion, despair or dejection becomes looking totally gaga and like she isn’t able to count to three. Next question: What kind of vampire is that? Standing around, hang his head for 3/4 of the first movie. Maybe I cannot understand how depressive it is to be a vampire nowadays. Or how attractive someone can be, who isn’t able to form just one complete sentence. Then you can see the powder on it’s face, that makes him so pale and let him look like a vampire so much! What a poor-done make-up job! That guy is definetely NO vampire to me (did you notice he even has no fangs?)

In my world vampires have to be like Christopher Lee, the ones from “Fearless Vampire Killers“, Francis Ford Coppola‘s “Dracula“, and F.W.Murnau‘s “Nosferatu“. The latter two make us really believe that they suffer from being a vampire!

What else can I remember? First movie: Girl and vampire sitting or standing around, NOT looking at each other. Nice vegetarian vampire family (how dumb is that?). Bad other vampires, one of them has to be killed by the “good” ones later. Slightly depressive father of girl.
Second movie: Vampires must leave town. Vampire leaves girl. Girl meets werewolfe. Girl does dangerous things to be warned by vampire ex-boyfriend. Werewolves fight the two left bad vampires of first movie. Vampire fights werewolf. Girl wants to be a vampire. Vampire wants to die, because he can’t be in love with girl. Girl wants peace between vampires and werewolfes. Hush-hush CGI werewolves (Ask Rick Baker the next time. He’s responsible for the creature design of John Landis‘ “An American Werewolf in London“).

Oh, what a pile of shit!

The big mistake made here is that the author (or the filmmaker, I don’t care) tries to mix fantasy – what else are vampires and werewolves? – with reality (e.g. depressed teenagers) and fails! Next mistake: Too Long. Definitely too long. The ideal length for the first part would be about 30 min., for the second one about 45 min.
But reality looks different to me: Twilight – 121 min., New Moon – 130 min.
That made me yawn, made me dither around on the couch.

I will watch part 3 and 4, too!

You all know about the damage that sugar gives to your teeth and to your whole body, don’t you?
If not, just google, or better ecosia, for “sugar body health”. You will find enough about.

If you already know and think: “Oh, that bad, bad sugar makes me fat, makes me blahblahblah. I will drink a coke light and eat fat-reduced yoghurt. That’ll be much better.” Forget about it.

In most of the products that are sweet, but don’t contain any sugar, there is some kind of “sweetener” (doesn’t sound that nice?). The Industrie’s favourite is called Aspartame, often used in combination with Acesulfam. You can find it also under the name “Nutra-sweet” or “Amino Sweet” and several other names.

Aspartame is made of Aspartic Acid (40%), Phenylalanine (50%) and Methanol (aka wood alcohol/poison) (10%).
The Problem is, if I got it right, that Aspartame is split into its components again inside your body. And these components can cause damage to your health. Read more about that at Mercola.com and at dorway.com.

But that is not the worst thing about it. What I really can’t eat is the following:

There is a substance which is more sweet than sugar and is naturally grown!
Stevia rebaudiana or just Stevia. And the best of it all: It causes absolutely no damage to any part of your body!

Is it a wonder that this little plant is prohibited for use in food-products in the European Union and the USA?

Not to me. As it is natural grown, there is no possibility in making patents on it. And without a patent the only way to make profit of it is to grow it, pack it, sell it. And not just selling patents to other companies.

There are several sources on the net to get more information about Stevia and its prohibition.
Maybe you’ll start at the European Stevia Association:
