Question

it’s mine and I’ll keep it if I want to

Thursday, August 6th, 2009 | Personal, Questions | 2 Comments

I really don’t know what it is with me, but I find it hard to part with my body parts after it clearly has no more purpose and has been detached from my body.

Well small body parts not limbs (yet..lol)

I do remember keeping all the following as listed below:

  • extracted teeth (at least two)
  • my dreadlocks that I cut off in 2001, I still have a few of these that I kept
  • my first grey hair, framed in a frame and says “my first grey hair” LOLs
  • my tonsils (it was in a surgical liquid – I got it like that from the doctors that operated

No, I don’t keep my toe nails, snotties, hair I clean out from my brush, eye etter, ear wax, plaque on my teeth – that’s just disgusting!

But then I ask myself, is keeping all the others bulleted above then not just as disgusting too?

This post in my opinion is disgusting but please understand, it is just me trying to gage if  I’m a weirdo or not – cause now I just got a new tooth today  that obviously, I brought home – (it was extracted). The thought just crossed my mind and so I just had to ask around. . .

“MY” content and rights to it

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 | Opinion, Questions, Rants, thoughts | No Comments

I take photographs of things, people, places , anything. Yes I am VERY holey over my photographs but I normally share my picture uploads under the creative commons license but for non commercial use only.
I just don’t think that one should be too protective over a photograph of something that can easily be either duplicated in the eyes of another photographers eyes.

When it comes to my blog posts, yes I agree. I always do my best to try to keep it as original as possible  – TRY being the emphasis word here. It is after all your thoughts that you were generous enough to share with others – but like any news, the story changes two people down the line and in the end you have half of the original story when it comes your way again some day.

I thought about this from another angle today…prior to today, I would be highly pissed off at an individual who decided to duplicate my post or refer to sentences of my posts without any source links referring to my post link or mentioning my name or URL anywhere in “their content”.  In a way I guess I know what are today’s hot topics and avoid blogging about that to save readers on monotony and overkill of a particular event/story.

What sparked the idea was yet another rant on Twitter by a blogger complaining about his/her content being “stolen”.  As any other blogger, you probably reading the same content off your RSS feeds, same sites on the net, and who knows, maybe the two of you had the same idea that suddenly popped into your heads and the one that types faster gets to own the post? or what?

Yes photographs you can always link back to you – text – errr…advice here please?

Just one of my random early morning thoughts I felt like sharing. . .
