You can’t save him, Jack! originally appeared on margjakob.net on April 10, 2010.

Antasari. Everyone in Indonesia who read, hear, watch the news, media, for sure know about this scandal. At first, I want to know what’s it all about, cause everyday I saw it in the news. But now hell with that. The last thing I know about this case is my lecturer became an expert witness in this case. Meh. Mafia and their associate.

I’m fed up with the game playing in politics. No one knows anymore, who’s right, who’s wrong, who’s telling the truth, everybody lies, says House, except to Google, people don’t lie to Google.

Now the wife. The Good Wife. It’s a TV show in CBS. New episode just aired yesterday. And I realized, the story somehow is similar to this case. Her husband is District Attorney, having an affair, troubled with his job, and jailed. But she remained loyal to her husband (just like Antasari’s wife), and it looks like her husband is being set-up. We don’t know what will happen next, it still half season.

This is also reminds me of 12 Angry Men (1957), story about a boy, who’s accused of killing his own father, he looks guilty in court, but in the end one juror can convince eleven other juror that the boy is not guilty.

Will you tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

If I am lost for a day

Try to find me

But if I don’t come back

Then I won’t look behind me

All of the things that I thought were so easy

Just got harder and harder each day

And I can’t live forever

I can’t always be

One day I’ll be sand on the beach by the sea

The pages keep turning

I’ll mark off each day with a cross

and I’ll laugh about all that we’ve lost

January, February, March, April, May, I’m alive.
June, July, August, September, October, I’m alive.
November, December, yeah all through the winter.
I’m alive.
I’m alive.

What is real?

Morning light?

Hope?

Dream?

Silence…

So if someone says I don’t care, is he/she actually doesn’t care or just a liar, you know, Everybody Lies?

Hmmm… Whatever. I don’t care! And I don’t like being told what to do!

~ MTV EXIT: End Exploitation and Trafficking

Note: Here’s some video to show us children exploitation reality. With music from Radiohead, All I Need, it show us children in poor/developing countries (Indonesia in this video, at beginning you’ll hear ‘bangun.. bangun’ or ‘wake up’) ‘forced’ to make shoes, than later the shoes is worn by child in developed countries.

[night update] I just remember a tv series, The Philanthropist, it’s new, episode 4 will be aired tonight. In this series, a millionaire, Teddy Rist, who lost his child, go to Africa for business meeting. But then he’s helping people get a vaccine instead. Later on episode 2 it shows us worker exploitation in Myanmar, and women trafficking in Paris on episode 3. Good show. It’s kinda real, what happen in this show. We should realise it.

Leave me alone, don’t leave me behind.
How are you going to do that?
Time will never answer.

Hard to sleep, harder to wake up.
My dream just too beautiful to lose.
Isn’t this the right path?

Don’t know how, don’t know when, don’t know where, I still have to wake up!
Wake in the same stupid hole… again!
Go to hell, leave me alone! F**k that! I want to live.

It May Never End: The Saddest Story Ever Told

Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and

Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
F**k that I wanna see some fists pumping

HOME is an ode to the planet’s beauty and its delicate harmony. Through the landscapes of 54 countries captured from above, Yann Arthus-Bertrand takes us on an unique journey all around the planet, to contemplate it and to understand it. But HOME is more than a documentary with a message, it is a magnificent movie in its own right. Every breathtaking shot shows the Earth – our Earth – as we have never seen it before. Every image shows the Earth’s treasures we are destroying and all the wonders we can still preserve. “From the sky, there’s less need for explanations”. Our vision becomes more immediate, intuitive and emotional. HOME has an impact on anyone who sees it. It awakens in us the awareness that is needed to change the way we see the world. (HOME embraces the major ecological issues that confront us and shows how everything on our planet is interconnected.)

HOME - Today @ midnight in Indonesia. Must watch this movie!

@ youtube, @ facebook
